Dropping Sales, Rising Profits

It's what the layman calls an ASS-FUCK!!!!

"Northwest Posts Solid Earnings in First Post-Bankruptcy Quarter"

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 29 (AP) — The Northwest Airlines Corporation, reporting results for its first full quarter after leaving Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this summer, said Monday that it earned $244 million, topping Wall Street estimates, as it cut back on seats but raised prices.

Northwest said it spent $12 million on incentives aimed at eliminating the cancellations that plagued it at the ends of June and July. Hundreds of flights were canceled at the end of each of those two months because Northwest could not find enough pilots for its flights."

Un-fucking-believable, huh? I'll never fly again!


"RadioShack Posts Profit as Sales Drop"

FORT WORTH, Oct. 29 (AP) — The RadioShack Corporation said Monday that it swung to a third-quarter profit, overcoming lower revenue by cutting costs and selling more high-margin items. The company also said it expected its fourth-quarter results would be better than a year ago.

So who got thrown out of work as the richhers bought up the luxury items?

The electronics retailer said it earned $46.3 million in the quarter that ended Sept. 30. Sales fell for Sprint wireless phone service and accessories, although RadioShack said it had strong results in prepaid wireless phones and Global Positioning System devices.

Amurkns love enslaving ourselves with the fascista gadgets, don't they?!

AmeriKa: Land of the Happy Slave!!!!


RadioShack cut operating expenses 17.9 percent, to $413 million.
