I came to a conclusion that I didn’t expect when I read this blog post yesterday: I don’t care how much Jason Whitlock makes but I suspect he earns every penny.

Yes, it’s unfortunate when any business fires workers just so the wealthy can enjoy higher profits — and doubly so when it involves newspapers, which are the lifeblood of democracy. And yes, managers are never the first to be laid off, although they might be the first to deserve it.
