The fiscality of the consumer screw

I am an awful person and neglected to mention Haley in my last post. As soon as she found out i was fired, she came straight over with chocolate. She barely knows me and yet she could not have done a better job cheering me up. Thanks!!

I picture in my mind a boardroom. With 10 older men in suits surrounding it. Discussing how to screw over us, the consumer.
"Steve, we are low in this fiscal quarter. I think persuant to our last discussion something needs to be done"
"I agree with you John. We are losing money hand over fist here. We need to pull up our bootstraps and devise a plan to re-coup any of our losses"
"What do you suggest Steve?
"I think we need to provide a commodity that the public cannot do without and needs to be purchased excessively"
"Thats a terrific idea Steve!"

The topic?

Damn those suits. Damn them to hell.
