cut through these strings

it amazes me that these giant corporations think that by cutting jobs, they're going to make money. I think they'd make more money if they made a better product. why are overseas manufacturers doing better than American ones? American car makers make fairly crappy cars that eat gas and die after 50,000 miles. no one wants to buy a new car every five years, so of course they're going to buy a Toyota Carola over a Chevy Cavalier. duh.
