What’s up with the ruling class these days?
Dark suited CEO’s and pot-bellied business owners are just screwin’ the working and middle class left and right.
Ford Motor Co. announced
earlier this year that they planned to cut 30,000 jobs by 2012.

In Gritty Philly, the daily newspaper workers -- including both halves of Philly Confidential -- are once again fighting off hourly anxiety attacks. Will we go on strike? Will there be massive layoffs? Will the Daily News and Inquirer be forced to merge into one?

Philly Confidential with an Inquirer byline .... just doesn't seem right. It would be like the time PC's Brooklyn native was stuck in the all-nerd 9th grade homeroom at Midwood High School. All of the rich, snotty Park Slope kids whispered about their pending ski trips in Vermont and how cool the show Friends turned out to be (hey, it was the mid-90’s), while the teenage PC naively asked, "Who is this Chandler guy, anyway?"

PC can’t take it anymore. She already posted that she was depressed about the state of world peace, and now the Daily News is once again rife with doom and gloom.
We thought journalism was cool. We wanted to help people and fight the man, man!

We never knew profit margins, advertising drops, and full-time employment slots, were more important to modern-day newspapers than integrity and an insatiable hunger for the truth.
Who cares about great writing? Investigating mysteries? Catching the bad guy before the authorities have a clue what’s really going on?

Not newspaper owners.

From New York’s Newsday to the Boston Globe to the Dallas Morning News, owners have uniformly kicked journalists to the door.

Now that PC has learned the hard way that Wall Street rules the world, she regrets one thing and one thing only: all those wasted Jello shots during college. To think that PC gave up her early 20’s to learn how to be a proper journalist.
Ha!

She should have majored in finance and sold her soul to the devil. Hell, she could be sitting in a sweet leather chair in some shiny skyscraper right now, firing her middle-class colleagues.
