"As technologies and the demand for certain services change, many workers will lose their jobs. The responsiblity for those people to adjust to such change should belong to the individual worker, not to ogvernment or to business."

The following appeared as part of a memorandum from the vice president of Nostrum, a large pharmaceutical corporation.
"The proposal to in crease the health and retirement benefits that our employees receive should not be implemented at this time. An increase in these benefits is not only financially unjustified, since our last year's profits were lower than those of the preceding year, but also unnecessary, since our chief competitor, Panacea, offers its employees lower health and retirement benefits than we currently offer. We can assume that our employees are reasonably satisfied with the health and retirement benefits that they now have since a recent survey indicated that two-thirds of the respondents viewed them favorably."

“当某项特定服务的技术和需求改变时，很多工人将失业。适应这种改变的责任属于每个工人而不是政府或企业。”

一个大制药公司Nostrum的副总的备忘录：
"提高我们员工的健康和退休福利的建议不应该在现在执行。这方面的福利提高从经济上讲是不合理的，因为我们去年的利润比之前的年份都少。这也不必要，因为我们的主要竞争对手Panacea给他们员工的健康退休福利比我们现在给的还要低。我们可以认为我们的员工都对他们现在的健康退休福利是满意的，因为最近的调查显示2/3的应答者对此感到满意。"
