So instead of thinking about the thousands of people that would be laid off these stupid, selfish CEO's decided to make money by selling peoples jobs and putting their lives in jeopardy. These people are just as bad as Bernie Madoff

or how abou you do and suck your dads dick! my sucking mother works there! Druggie ass people like yourself deserve to burn in hell and be treated like the walking shit you are. Maybe you should care about others before you go and say that stuff. "This scum" is one of the prime makers of medicine and keeps most of your family breathing. You should go under. 6 feet under to be exact. now how about you go and suck on your cancer sticks and die an early and painful death in a hospital bed. Fucker.

In a recent interview, our former CFO said an uptick in M&A deals is a good, early sign that we're coming out of the recession (since that means companies are finding value in the marketplace). Hopefully this is the first of many acquisitions to come so we can dig out of this economic mess.
