“WELP,” an interesting word/phrase. A modern vocabulary addition but it fits in this case. Of course this cartoon is a little understated when it comes to looking at bonuses by top executives. 1st link an article to newspaper CEO’s salaries. 2nd is “WELP” definitions.
As the general welfare of the nation declines, the government demands more and more funding to maintain that decline. Does this prove that the newspapers are a clandestine branch of a political party? Probably not.
Please don’t blame technology for declining sales. Liberal “journalism” is dying because it betrayed the American people, devolving from watchdog of the people’s liberty to guard dog of the thugs in power.
Newspapers….ah, yes. Headline: “Celebrity Starlet Trips Over Own Feet”. Page 10: “World’s Oceans Dry up Overnight”. I suppose it’s a question of priorities.
I’d subscribe to the paper, except I’m NOT housebreaking a puppy at the moment, and I no longer have a birdcage that needs a liner…plus if I want fish, I just go to the store and buy it, no need for a wrapper.
Uhh… Is that why Robert Murdock was able to buy all these conservative newspapers on the cheap? Or would you say that a little thing called THEINTERNET had something to do with it?
“Why is every comment except one missing the point on this cartoon. Why are the people at the top getting raises at the same time the people at the bottom taking pay cuts.”
Because CEO and Executive are no longer jobs, but social classes, much like the Brahma of India. The industry they are in is irrelevant – no matter how much I may know about telecommunications, I will never be able to achieve their level because I wasn’t born into an Executive class family. I have to put up with CEO’s and Executives above me who have already failed in other unrelated industries telling me what is best and making the decisions because God ordained that they hold that position. Why else do I get fired for taing an extra 3 days to ensure my work is accurate, but if they cause a billion dollar loss they are rewarded with a 60 million dollar severance package?
Our BMY “coffee club” was a private enterprise within the company, they supplied the electricity and the space… Productivity can always be improved…we die as a nation if this is not done…all the time by everyone… Greed is rampart, the CEOs are not the only ones. We need a better people. Adrian
What liberal editors? They print things exactly like their multinational corporate advertisers tell them to. “Editor” is an obsolete term for figurehead. The real editing is done by the advertising department following orders.
From recession woes to social networking, Matt Bors’ cartoons dissect and satirize the ways of the world to make readers think and laugh about the real issues affecting them.

There is truth to this, IMO.
“Social classes” may be destroying Europe and they will hurt our nation…

Fact or opinion, Brass…. ?
IMO, our government has little to do with the “decline”.
