Please everyone, STOP BREEDING! Breeding only creates more mouths to feed and unemployed. Remember, technology is also moving fast to make workers obsolete. So if the machines are going to do all the work, we must not breed any more workers! Capeesh??

This is what happens when you force companies to pay their employees more than they’re worth, pay for benefits they don’t need, hire workers based on gender and skin color rather than ability, etc.
Until the market is allowed to work as it should be, don’t expect things to get better.

The US government needs to totally eliminate environmental regulations and fully exploit the envioronment. This way pollution will be killing off people like flies – with less people around, more jobs will be available! Simple solutions if you can find them. It’s already happening in China. Meanwhile the Pope loves Octo mom and everybody is breeding like rats.

A worrying sign, most likely the job losses will get worse before it gets better.
