The Economic Cull

Culling is the process of removing animals from a group based on specific criteria. This is done in order to either reinforce certain desirable characteristics or to remove certain undesirable characteristics from the group. For livestock and wildlife, the process of culling usually implies the killing of animals with undesirable characteristics.

Some of the top ecnomic minds and governments have now come out and said that the recession looks like it has run its course and the economy is now on the road to recovery.

What really happened was an economic cull, as by definition all the undesirable people and groups have been removed, the huge banks and insurance companies collapsed and the weaker employees are removed. So what is left to cull? the auto industry will be forced into mergers with other groups, the unions will collapse and thinned. The auto giants see the unions as a group with undesirable characteristics and should be removed to preserve themselves. The thinning of the herd, in order to save the greed at the top.
