  1. I'm wondering if this moment here on earth is what took place before the Jedi came to power prior to the Republic? Before the Sith were banished the first time...

    Oh well, 10,000 pointless jobs much like any other lay off be it hospital staff, teachers, construction workers, police, firemen, government employees, or car salesmen.

    Soon, we will have an empire full of cashiers and Socialists will RULE THE GALAXY! And there will be... anarchy.

  2. I truly hate to say the Big Banks are just getting what they deserve. The unfortunate part is the only people being cut are the ones that had nothing to due with the Bank aqcuiring the Toxic Assests that are sinking the Western World.

  4. I can't imagine the banks just falling apart. I am sure we the people will bail them out again. It's inevitable.

  5. The banks are getting exactly what they deserve, but the upper elite are taking it our on the small insignificant worker.
    The uba rich are still in power sucking up the little peoples salaries whom they are laying off.

    They are disgusting, immoral, and someone, somewhere, maybe a laid off employee, is going to go postal on some bank executive in a town somewhere near you.
