Most of you probably know this by now, but in the next few months, Microsoft plans to cut about 5% of its workforce, a total of approximately 5000 jobs. I thought this sad cartoon illustrated the situation quite well. There’s no word if apple will be following the trend yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we start hearing similar news from the company soon.

Hmm, yes, and what’s worse, some of those people are extremely important ones. Like the ones at the studio where Microsoft Flight Simulator was made: http://thereticule.com/2009/01/24/developers-of-the-microsoft-flight-simulator-series-shown-the-door/
Note that these 5k were all citizens. It didn’t include any imports working off visas.
These jobs (visas) are the ones important to your crooked politicians.
If you think YOUR lawmakers are working for YOUR benefit, you’re an idiot.
