Oh thanks for asking because I did really want to explain that I just wasn't in the mood to elaborate at the time. So these companies are laying off people and from the looks of it most of those layoffs seem to be due to budget costs. YET, these companies in so-called budget crisis spend how much money flying in people from wherever and putting them up in hotels and covering the cost of food, etc JUST to come in and fire these people?? It's kind of like the execs at GM and the banks flying in on private jets to ask the government for money and then using that money to pay bonuses to its CEOs.

Also, those damned PACKETS.
