Only if I get free chocolates.

Seriously, you can't just drop that many people and periferal industries and not create havoc. Clearly their mission statement is a load of ... [choose your own derogatory word here].

To some extent, it's possible that Oakdale will have contributed to their own problems by relying so heavily on one employer. I don't know what their options were, but it would seem that while the place was prospering, they should have diversified the local economy.

Still, any company that dumps it's workers like that just so it can take advantage of [all but] slave labour will get no business from me. Not that I'm listed anywhere in their files as a favoured customer or anything.
