Businesses do not exist for the sake
of creating jobs, but to meet consumer
demand.
Consumers are ruthless in their search
for better and cheaper products(I know I am).

Businesses some times sell or spin off
divisions, if that will result in cost savings.
If they didn't relentlessly pursue cost
savings we'd all be driving '72 Pintos and doing
our computing on a slide rule.

If a business can't compete, it will go out of
business. What happens to the jobs then?
It's no fun having to compete for your job,
but c'est la vie!
