And I’m sure this is one of many that will go under.

i think we need all kinds of jobs to. but we need jobs that people can live off of. not jobs where you work pay check to pay check and credit card to card. you need a job where you can save some money for just in case and be able to provide for a family. thats just my opnion. i never said we dont need certain kind of jobs.

also we should all know the spider web effect. one job lost doesnt help the economy so 18,500 lost wouldnt help. the lunch place where the old workers ate would get effected

and i agree with your last statement. if you follow the leader and do as your told everything will be ok. or so we are told. creativity and philoshpy should be taught at school. but instead going to college and spending money is taught at our schools. pull up a chair and watch mtv jersey shore. they teach our kids. beleve it or not they teach our future. i know i push this hard but look at the movie idocracy.
