I just had to point out the sad irony of this.
Two news items - one after the other - both posted at 1:46pm via the ABC RSS newsfeed.
* Macquarie Bank posts 21% profit rise.
* Hundreds clock off as Bridgestone closes factory.
So the masters of the universe are rolling in it as their financial engineering reaches new and glorious heights - while 600 workers at the Bridgestone site in Mike Rann's electorate get the finger and are now looking for a job.
A few more Ferrari's will roll into new garages while 600 families will struggle to feed themselves - ahh capitalism at work is a wonderful thing - isn't it?
