Agree. Yet somehow, I suspect that none of the 18,000 who have lost their jobs will appear on the unemployment numbers issued by our BLS. Further, I expect that this will eventually be touted as some Government advance in the new economic standard of equity.
My guess is that the government is now in their cabal’s lair, running focus-group presentations to dumbass entitlement leeches about how “those MS employees aren’t losing their jobs! - They’re getting a terrific opportunity at time off to do whatever-dude, and they’ve mostly got all that MS stock to fall back on.” I guarantee it.
Correction: ....will NOT appear....
