The restaurant probably just broke the law. Just about every state has a Family Medical Leave Act which says a person is allowed up to 12 weeks of sick time for their own or immediate family illness without losing their job.

That is a truly terrible article. There is no link to the DOE report. There is just a link to Fox News. And when you go to Fox News, there is still no link to the report, so who knows what it actually says.
Further, this article is bad at math. It says: "In fact, the International Energy Agency predicts that oil’s share of energy production in the United States will only fall 8 percent in the next two decades, from 31 to 23 percent." Math says that's a decline of 26%, not an 8% decline. It's an 8 percentage point decline of share, which is a pretty significant 26% decline.
Yikes.

I agree with you, and apologize, Geojanes. I thought the links were there earlier.
Investigating...
