Corporate America adjusted to the hand dealt them. They have figured out how to turn a profit during these overregulated, overbearing times. If the landscape ever changes and it makes sense to hire, corp America will.
As far as libs go, my dad calls it emotion driven logic. He believes ( so do I) those driven by their emotions will never understand Corp America and are easily led. It's greed if they are hiring and turning a profit or greed if they are not hiring,,,,, but turning the same profit. They will never understand a free market is neither racist, bigoted or homophobic.
There is a breed of stupid people today.
