14,000 *wage-earners* may equate to ?how many?
spouses and children ? about another 20,000 or more ?
Rounding it off upwards - about 35,000 hungry people
in a few months over and above all the others that
were terminated for one reason or another since the
beginning of *this* year ... In one place, 35,000 people
is a good-sized city.
It seems to me the U.S. is heading for the history
books to be this millenium's "Rome" ... we're not even
going to need some other country's 'huns and vandals'
to bring us 'down' ....
[Homestead] that's a city !,
