Twitchy has extensively documented the effects that Obamacare is having on businesses big and small. Business owners have been forced to consider, and sometimes implement, layoffs and cuts in employee work hours in order to cope with rising health care costs.
It seems that an Omaha, Neb., Wendy’s franchise is facing similar cuts to workers’ hours, and ThinkProgress is none too pleased. In fact, the progressive blog suggests that the restaurant will “learn the hard way what happens when restaurants tangle with Obamacare.”
Liberals are totally on board with ThinkProgress:
Papa John's wants to be on that shit slashing employees hours to avoid "Obamacare"…now Wendy's too?

But wait a minute … where’s that new tone we’ve been hearing so much about? ThinkProgress’ tweet sounds rather like a veiled threat, no?
