NOG Announces Earnings; How Many Jobs Were Lost Due To ObamaCare? -- March 1, 2017

Updates

March 6, 2017: from CNBC -- Chicago the next to go the way of Philadelphia. Next, a special tax on beer. Then, on steak. And so it goes.

Original Post

 I have no idea but a tax of 1.5 cent per ounce on sugary and diet drinks in Philadelphia cost 100 workers their jobs. The denominator: 423 employees. Up to 100 of the 423 city's PepsiCo workers are now out of a job: PepsiCo's beverage sales fell 40% in the city because of the tax.

But if that many jobs were lost due to a piddly 15 cents being added to a can of Coke, can you imagine how many jobs were lost and are going to be lost because of:
  • ObamaCare
  • a mandated minimum wage unrelated to market economics
  • subsidies for solar and wind energy, artificially raising the cost of electricity
  • the thousands of pages of government regulations published in Obama's last year of his presidency?
