>> The public puts people ahead of profits You're a damned fool. "The public" -- at least half of it, is unsentimentally squeezing the life out of the country. There is not one shred of sentiment to be found in people who choose to live off the taxpayer's backs: these people are out for the dollar, and if they can't get the dollar they'll take the blood. You are a certifiable nutcase.

Daffy's closing - 1,300 jobs lost - 51 years in business Crains ^ \| 7/16/2012 \| Adrianne Pasquerelli Daffy's Inc., a staple of the New York shopping scene for 51 years, is closing its doors. The Secaucus, N.J.-based discount retailer, which had been rumored to be in financial turmoil, said Monday that all its stores will be shuttering over the next few months, as part of a company liquidation. In a statement, Daffy's said it "deeply regrets that this action was necessary due to the impact on its business of the uncertain economy and weak consumer spending and a lack of viable financial and business alternatives." The discounter employs 1,300 people and operates a total of 19 locations, all of them in the New York metro area, with the exception of one in Philadelphia. Eight of them, including a 17,000-square-foot Times Square flagship that opened only last year, are in Manhattan.
