    Stock market in action. When you’ve saturated your market and have nowhere else to grow, how else do you create profits for the next quarter?

    Mass layoffs are always about short-term gains. It’s accepting the company will cripple itself intentionally just to take the salaries of the laid of folks and disburse them as dividends.
