Remember that economists think that this process you're talking about is healthy, good and this is how companies should be run. Take massive loans, hire, then discard people when you don't need them.

DOW is at 50.000.

what is sad is that it's not possible to tell if this is a genuine thought or sarcasm.

HN is weird like that.

I want to clarify that it, indeed, was sarcasm. Mostly... I'm honestly not sure myself anymore when I listen to some economics "experts". :(
