  1. “A CEO invents a way to make more cookies more efficintly…” by reducing the size of the cookies which is a saving in itself but also saves energy since each cookie bakes more quickly & by using cheaper ingredients. Consumers figure out that the cookies now taste like crap & aren’t even filling so the company goes under.

  2. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Meanwhile, a CEO in China also invents a way to make more cookies more efficiently.

    Because he doesn’t have to deal with unions, he can undercut the American company’s price.

    The US union workers blame everything but themselves when they all lose their jobs.

    US politicians immediately declare a stupidity contest in which they all win first prize.

  3. Arkady, that was an interesting article.

    “Incredibly, the McDonald’s product (oatmeal) contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonald’s cheeseburger or Egg McMuffin.”

    Wow…

  4. The unions stage a walkout because they don’t want to pay ANY of their healthcare and don’t want to contribute ANYTHING to their pensions. The CEO won’t give in.

    After 45 days, the CEO announces that he’ shutting down the plant and they can all go rot. He moves the plant to an area of the country that gives him tax breaks, is welcoming of businesses and is chary of unions. he hires a new workforce and gives them a nice profit sharing plkan and a 401k.

  5. Parts of the Oscars were fun. I did like the interplay between Ann Hathaway and James Franco but living up to Billy Crystal is next to impossible. The Hugh Jackman song she did was pretty funny. And it was great to see Kirk Douglas come so far back from his stroke. He was very funny, stretching out the suspense after he opened the envelope.
