Impact of layoffs on Livermore businesses

Topic anonymously suggested:

I frequent may local Livermore restaurants and may of the owners are telling me that business is "heading south". Most have seen a sharp drop off in business since the layoffs have started. Let's hear from local Livermore businesses. How has the layoff of ~2,000 people, half of which (demographically) live in Livermore, impacted your business.

Are you writing your congressional representatives and telling them how the great "experiment" to privatize the UC labs has impacted your business.

They don't even know about the blog as does <10% of LLNL nor do they care. It's not LLNL lay offs that affecting them it's the $4.29a gallon. Just wait and see what happens when it gets to $6.00 to $7.00 a gallon or more. Hang on bubba the funs only started. I really hope it goes to $10.00 a gallon. Maybe then Americans will get off their asses and demand exective orders for renewable enegry be written. Yes if that means he has to bypass the congress and senate that's fine. Just get it done on a 5 year plan.

It's not just Livermore. The whole country is on hard times. I've talked with friends in other parts of the country and it's the same story. The price of gas is but a part of all this.
