The Swedes also let Saab (Automobile section I think it was) go under, no bailouts like the “Capitalist” USA had for GM, Ford, et al…

Really? I thought they had. Hmmm not sure where I got that impression…

So by my reasoning laying off one leech lightens the load on six people.Sounds like a novel idea,maybe we should start with our GSA?
