Priam's Daughter at it again.....
Ignore him. Redline is a jackass Cassandra who has been trying to talk himself into Fly Dubai for months. For God's sake, man, GO, and stop spreading unsubstantiated bull!!!! here. Mass lay offs, my hairy arse. If anything, we'll need even more people after the dust settles to get things back to normal and then pick up the slack created by those lower on the food chain who don't survive. Believe me, they're out there, but FR isn't one of them.
If you want to worry about something, forget volcanic ash and peak oil. Worry about water. Without that, we're all screwed.
