    They didn’t learn the rule with Chrysler or GM, either. I don’t expect them to wise up in time to save newspapers.
    BTW, do you know which CNBC-er said this?

    Dennis Kneale. He gave the lovely black lady sitting next to him as the “liberal” voice an apoplectic fit. Because he followed up with “I hate unions. They ARE parasites.”

    Someone better apprise those in our government thinking about bumping up all our taxes to pay for new programs about that “don’t kill the host” line.
