Merck to cut 7,000 jobs

GM to cut 30,000 jobs

Ford to cut 4000 jobs

Casual Corner is closing 525 stores.

Interstate Bakeries has already shed 4000 jobs and is looking at dropping
another 450.

These are real jobs, not the McBush jobs Presidummy touts.





What is your definition of a real job? Is working as a clerk at Casual
Corner a *real* job Harry, or is a *real* job sweeping the floor at a GM
plant and earning $60,000/year for doing so?

Harry lives in a fantasy world where stagnation is the status quo, per
person productivity is never increased, automation never happens, eating
habits never change.

"narcissistic adults have had decades of not being in synch with the times
or with other people, so that by now they are really out of it. Sometimes it
just seems like they have a highly selective memory -- which, of course,
they do, sort of; they pay attention only to what has their name in it in
the first place, so after 30 or 40 years"

That must be the entry-level folks. Hell, their benefit package alone
equates to $35+/hour. No wonder GM is going broke.

The best thing we can do as Americans is buy cars (domestic or foreign) made
in non-union plants right here in the US (like Toyota's Princeton, IN
plant).

I predict that in the next 5 to 10 years, GM will start opening new plants
again in the US...but with the insistance that the new plants are non-union.

As long as they are paying union dues it is a real job in Harry's mind.
