Gannett launched what is likely the biggest mass layoff in newspaper industry history yesterday, slashing 655 jobs by early this morning, in an increasingly desperate bid to return the troubled 102-year-old publisher to prosperity. The final tally could run into the thousands.

Many more layoffs are expected today and tomorrow across the 85-daily community newspaper division, plus USA Today and the Detroit Free Press. As of 1:25 a.m. ET, only 17 papers had been accounted for, based on published accounts and Gannett Blog reader reports.

A deepening crisis
Our view: Fast-rising unemployment and other negative economic developments signal the need for a much more energetic recovery effort
December 8, 2008
Talk show hosts and their viewers had a good laugh last week when the National Bureau of Economic Research, the referee of the nation’s economic condition, ruled that we are in a recession – a fact that seemed more than obvious to most Americans. But by the time the week ended, it became clear the worsening state of the economy was no laughing matter. Grim news of cutbacks in construction, home sales, consumer spending, business investment and exports were capped by a report Friday that unemployment had risen to 6.7 percent. Since the recession began last December, nearly 2 million jobs have been lost, most in the last three months.

Noted economist has dire jobless warning
Nobel winner Krugman says it could reach 10 percent
STOCKHOLM, Sweden – The U.S. unemployment rate could reach 10 percent without a “very effective” stimulus package, 2008 Nobel economics prize winner Paul Krugman said Monday.

Krugman, who will receive the award this week, also warned that the global economy could be stuck in recession for more than two years if no strong measures are taken. “We could easily be looking at a world economy that is depressed until 2011

and you dumbfucks are worried about the state of Linden Land?

WAKE THE FUCK UP!

Prepare…

1. Do you have a RL job?

Yep.

2. If you do, does it pay more than minimum wage?

Shinin’ pays a heap more’n minimal wage

3. Do you have a girlfriend in RL?

Heaps o’ gals, in fact

4. If so, can you afford to buy her real lingerie?

We don’t stand by no lawn-juries in Enoch Holler. Overalls o’ nekkid am the fashun.

5. If so, why are you wasting your time posting on game forums?

Beats doin’ wurk! Hoo whee. City-folks puzzles me more’n more….

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. No I have a BF

4. Yes I buy my own Lingerie, as well he has purchased me some too.

5. To laugh a Losers just like you.

What is your answer to your 5 questions? Let me Guess,
1. NO, you consider SL your job.
2. It pays you in fake Internet dollars.
3. HA HA HA HA I am not even gonna touch that.
4. I am willing to bet your answer to this question is the same as mine.
5. Because you have noting better to do with your pathetic existance.

But now I can see that the GLC and JLU agenda is there mainly to protect themselves and their very own personal Serious Business ventures, and not for the sake of anyone else like helping old grannys cross sim borders or anything altruistic like that. Because in this very thread we have 2 of them going foamy over the idea of LL having to cough up substantial money to compensate those nasty Openspace Sim owners who had the audacity to buy low priced sims and then got jacked around on price by LL once they were in and comitted.

It seems like P.Butt and M.Fuck have a real stake in that SL world or something. Swinging through here and barfing all over the place like that. I think ole Intlibber may be on to something here. Srs bsns is starting to bawwwwww big time. Might have to get a real job there in PA if SL closes up eh? No more sitting on your big Dead Ass playing online social pixel bullshit games anymore? Rock on Intlibber. Shut ‘em down.

You should probably publish EINs and corporation numbers in prospecti, makes it easier to do independent audits.

Looking forward to seeing the IRS 1023. “…no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual…”
