> don't have the kind of savings to keep people staffed When times are good, corporations are essentially making monthly payments to a bunch of local landlords (or banks) for the service of housing their employees. I do find it a little strange that we didn't try to stick landlords and lenders with more of the bill. It'd be easier for corporations to keep employees staffed if they could reduce their salaries because their rent / mortgage payments were lower.
