Yeah, that how they usually do it, kick you to the curb when they no longer have use for you. But it was fine when the paper business was making money from hard worker reporters and staff.

This is the same crapola that the dinosaurs pulled before they disappeared.

Get used to it.

It's a horrible paper anyway. The price went up last year to 75 cents and now is $100. The problem with this?....The paper is 75% smaller and the reporting still sucks. I'd rather read posts on Twitter than read this paper.
