Thought for the day

[Calliope]

As someone who has grown up in the same era, i would like to pay tribute to a man who has brought a lot of enjoyment to my life and to countless others.

I am referring to the death of Paul Newmwn at the age of 83.

At a time when it is fashionable to dislike Americans, especially rich and priveleged Americans, his passing leaves a gap in my life. In my opinion he was a great man and a great husband. George Clooney said;

"He set the bar too high for the rest of us"

All the great actors who gave me great enjoyment all my adult life have now gone. It was only last week that I watched The Hustler and marvelled at his ability. People like him become a part of our lives,and can never be replaced

answer:-
+150

reason:-
I assume this is a plot of the XAO over the recent past and into the future - and after they announce the bailout for instance. (??)

A company in the dot com boom was immediately hit by the crash. They kept the same staff as they needed them when bidding for new work.

Very little work arrived and layoffs were few, even though the company went into loss. A recovery would come in six months.

Six months went by, and still things got worse, and losses rose.

The share price had collapsed and bankers became nervous. Finally, after 18 months a quarter of the staff were laid off.

This was getting late as losses rose further. Still they continued on hoping for work and keeping staff.

In the end this company went bankrupt. Everyone lost their jobs and a multi-billion dollar company went to the wall.

Certainty and judgement is fine, but in the face of the road ahead, it is fear that can knock you down.
