Hmmm, I guess I need to accept that threads on this topic are pity parties. It's like when a woman is upset about something and tells you about, you're not supposed to offer solutions? She just wants to bitch? Same deal here. Nuff said.

You are not a very insightful person. The tech sector was supposed to be the antidote to sending all our manufacturing jobs to other more slave-labor-like countries and for a while it was working. Now that pure greed and short-sightedness is taking over corporate American (again?) we could be on the verge of losing much of the tech sector. This will sink our economy. Remember the bubble economy of the late 1990’s?? The tech sector almost exclusively fueled our “great” recovery (this is a testament to the size and importance of the tech sector). If the tech sector can create a boom it sure as H-E double hockey sticks can create a bust. Huck, this means YOU. I don’t can what you do – you will be hurt. Of course when your job is cut I doubt anybody will care.

Since when is it conservative to root for the demise of your beloved country in the name of short-term greed?

Dude, I am not rooting for anyone's demise. Quite the opposite. I am rooting for people to succeed. Was it unfair when the California gold rush ended? Hell, most prospector's didn't make much anyway. Point is, that's life. Opportunities come and go for different reasons. Someday we'll be renting ALL our movies by remote control, and all those people working the register at Blockbuster will be out of a job. Unfair?
