4000 laid off in one shot last week.

Celadon is another case of the executives doing bad things with the books, which eventually caused thousands of working stiffs their jobs, just to keep the Wall Street vultures away every quarter.
That relentless pressure to show a profit in slow downs and bad times has eventually caused the demise of many stable businesses.
The compensation structure for company big wigs is another problem, being tied to stock price caused more than a few to do things and make decisions not in the best interest of the company because it meant millions in their pocket.

It works because people believe it works. Keep believing everyone!

If you get stranded in a blizzard this will give you something to keep you busy until you die.

In #4 be sure to pack over the tailpipe to keep that exhaust heat in.

I have found that the best way to survive a blizzard is to live where they don't have blizzards.

You traded blizzards for breaking down in the desert and roasting to death.

Yes. I feel as if I made a good bargain.

Survival begins at 80F. Comfort begins at 105.

Seems legit.

In 1965 at Fort Devens Mass, going someplace I should not have been, I got the platoon Jeep stuck out in the nighttime boonies.
I went back to the motor pool and got a 3/4 ton 4x4 and got it stuck trying to rescue the Jeep.
I went back and got a 6x6 deuce and a half, but couldn't get it started so I woke up my driver and we extracted the first two.
I had always thought it was insulting not to let officers drive.

Sunk the bucket truck to the axles one time. Farmer John (I was dumping chips from trimming his trees) then stuck his tractor trying to pull me out.

Farmer Bob from down the road came with a four wheel drive combine w/3 tires on each corner (12 wheel drive?), and pulled out the bofus.

I tried to pay both the guys, neither would take any money.

Naw, it's real solid down there. You won't have any trouble.
