So you are not interested or see any value in providing jobs for your fellow citizens?

At the least, don’t hire thousands of people over 1-2 years and then lay them all off. That shows poor ethical, leadership and management skills.

Not if those jobs cost more than they bring in.

I do think hiring a bunch of people and then firing a bunch of people is indicative of some sort of mistake. Nobody can perfectly predict the future. That said, when someone takes a job they know it's not a lifetime tenure position and has some risk.
