Having actual workers is the worst thing for any business. No sarcasm intended, it’s the literal truth.

I’m making more money since I got rid of my employees. Revenues are half, but my overhead and expenses are now nothing. Bottom line - more in my pocket. If I can’t do it myself, it won’t get done....red

"Having actual workers is the worst thing for any business."

That would have to include most of the management as well. At the end of the day, they're still just workers that could probably be virtulized to an offshore site. That just leaves the owner.

That’s probably why the stock market has seem some recovery while the job situation is getting worse; the stock prices soar when the albatross around the company’s neck (AMERICAN workers) are shed. Asian workers seem to boost comany performance...

No sarcasm taken. You've spoken the utter truth - and a lot of that unpleasantness has to do with all of the idiotic rules, regulations, costs and taxes that government has larded onto businesses with the temerity to actually hire real people.

It's a wonder that anyone - other than liberals, who technically qualify as brain-dead in any event - doesn't understand why this is a jobless recovery.
