One of my favorite things in life is roadtripping with my parents out east every summer. We're on our way to North Litchfield, SC. Somehow we got on the topic of how Carl Icahn has destroyed St. Louis (by killing off TWA, which killed our airport, which killed...etc.).
My Mom HATES Carl Icahn. She hates him because he doesn't think about how his mergers and acquisitions affect the people in the companies. We had a pilot and a mechanic for TWA in our old church and they either lost their jobs or were demoted significantly.
In my Global Perspectives class this past semester, we talked about how America is one of the easiest countries in the world to fire someone. This is great for globalization, but hurts a lot of feelings. Here is a list of countries, ranked by how hard it is to fire someone: Difficulty of Firing Index
