Why is it troubling to some and joyful to others when Sony will report their quarterly loss? Is it really a surprise that every Japanese company that has been radiated in Japan/flooded in Thailand/currency-exchange-derated (if such a word even existed) in the past months posts a heavy loss this time of the year? |
I guess they like to see the companies they hate make a loss. Most people don't think about the fact that it's not the people up top that are as affected as the regular families putting food on the table that suffer the most from these losses when jobs have to be cut. That's one of my other qualms when fanboys want one of the big three to pull out of the industry. Many people are making a living trying to feed families.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
