Layoffs? With this economy who can afford to eat anyway?

Truthfully, Kraft foods have become unedible. This merger will only water down an already watered down company.
jim... Does this mean Lurch loses his source of walkin’ around money?
Mergers between wireless or cable TV companies appear to get everyone’s knickers in a twist.
Mergers that create a food monopoly are met with a shrug.
Sorry to put it this way, but in a perfect free market economy, businesses would not be held hostage by expenses, certainly not labor expenses. Any “workforce” needed to run a business is a sign of inefficiency. The day will come when businesses run themselves with only strategic management — i.e. CEO, CFO, COO, and CIO (plus a couple of mkting VPs).
In a free market economy, “employment” is a sign of inefficiency.
Both companies have plants local to me. I know engineers in both places.
Lots of concern right now.
I merged Heinz with Kraft long ago, when I mixed ketchup with mac & cheese :)
