[quote=moneymaker]”If I were a rich man” I would show off my wealth with well maintained grass. Isn’t that how the whole grass thing started anyway? During feudal times a land owner would plant grass instead of food plants just to show that he didn’t need to.

Grass was an analogy to give a concrete example of a similar situation. Not sure why you wandered into your like of grass and why grass came into existence?

When times are tough for a company then I totally understand it, it is just not a good thing to lay off people to maximize profits in my opinion.

I have no idea why a company would keep an employee they don’t currently need and don’t expect to need in the future. Companies are not charities.

Replacing unions with contract labor and legal workers with illegal is just taking us one more step closer to “soylent green”.[/quote]
That’s a totally different situation. Your original statement did not discuss hiring contract labor or illegal immigrants to replace laid off employees. The conversation just drifted.
