At lunch, I caught a bit of my local news. The first story was about the "Occupy Wall Street" presence as is happening in NH. The second story was that Lowes in closing three stores in the state. So...literally... right on the heels of the story about corporate greed, came the story about Lowes which contained the following:
In all, 20 stores across the country will be closing, and about 1,950 employees will be affected by the closings. "Closing stores is never easy, given the impact on hard-working employees and local communities," said Robert A. Niblock, chairman, president and CEO. "However, we have an obligation to make tough decisions when necessary to improve profitability and strengthen our financial position."
You can't make this stuff up.
Edit: Now that I took the time to search out those quotes, I'm going to post it to Facebook, too.
