Their stocks are up - they are richer, they have lost any connection with normal working americans to many live in fear of a layoff because they are just one paycheck away from disaster, that dare not get sick cause of little or no health coverage and who don't see things getting better anytime soon. As far as they are concerned laying people off is great cause that means their stocks go up. They are the privileged class and life is very sweet.

The rich are becoming superrich, the superrich are now obscenely, filthy rich, the poor are becoming destitute, and the middle class is now house poor.
