"So let's see, guys... how can we find a way to UP the profit margin without hiring more people to make more stuff?  AHA!  I KNOW!

Lay off more people and make LESS stuff.  That way, we can charge more for the stuff AND not have to pay all those people to make it!"

"Say, Bill, I can go you one better.  Lay off some people, then make whoever's left keep making the same amount of stuff... and still charge more for it!"

"No, wait, how about THIS... we lay off ALL the people we have to pay these exorbitant rates, and hire people who'll work for a TENTH that much.  That way, we can hire five times as many people and STILL come out ahead."




























"Ummm... but Sir... if all those people don't have jobs any more, how will they BUY our stuff?"





















"Smith, is it?  You're fired."
