    Governments should take more taxes from the rich people and big companies and help people more
    if they sleep hungry at night, stay out of the house, can't take care of their wife and children, they understand very well.

                      I hope they lay off guys that always close good working projects(eg goo.gl) and every damn few years, try to review their social communicators that no one use, no one like and no one will ever like.

                          .alpha, 20 Jan 2023More excess wokers firedNo such thing as "excess workers". These are people with kids and husband's or wives. People with responsibilities and mortgages to pay, electricity bills, heating bills, loans and debts to service just trying to get by and Al you can do is make a rubbish comment like that. Incredibly horrible and selfish way to behave. Embarrassing.

                            What a bunch of greedy rich people. The shareholders were not happy because the profits were not as expected ( not having an actual loss) and now they can't afford a 5th yacht, so they have to fire people. F them
