you already probably saw this one today. sucks, big time! i know a lot of
guys working for Sun.

that's gonna be 3,500 more guys applying for those limited IT jobs out there
in the near future.

man, i got to get into home renovation. this handy man lives across the
street from me. the fuggin' guy has a bigger house, better car than me and
walks around in dirty overall's and car grease all over himself, from head to
toe.

wtf - is wrong with this picture?

Maybe between this an Gateway closing all of their stores (3000 jobs cut)
congress will finally start extending unemployment benefits again.

I would assume 'broad-based cost-cutting plan' means that most of the
jobs will be middle management & admin type jobs. Nevertheless, it's
bad news for those people affected.

I expect he pays less tax too.

Duuno how it is in Canada, but when the U.S. housing bubble bursts those
guys will be in a world of hurt as well. The only safe ones will be the
guys who do the $100,000 all-stainless-and-granite kitchens that get used
once a week for making tea.

You are assuming that that is 3,300 technical jobs. I highly doubt that.

No way, Shrub is claiming Unemployment is down. If they extend UI, it
will skyrocket.

Don't expect squat until after the election, if then. Go to work as a
part-time burger flipper. You'll help the figures go down more.

After the election, watch them take the lid off interest rates. Housing
will screech to a halt.
