Recession 101




When the internet allows your average person to advertise anything just about anywhere for nothing, the average person doesn't need to pay a newspaper to place a classified ad.


When virtually no one will pay to place a classified ad, the employees who accept payment and make sure the classified ad gets in the paper have no money to accept and no ads to place.


When there's no money to accept, there's no need for employees.

When there's no need for employees, there's no need for desks or chairs in the place where the employees were once needed.

Well, maybe one chair.
