Just in from the Ministry of Truth

Hey Folks,

Yesterday I posted (directly below) "The Damned Human Race" in which I discussed humankind's "power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them" - 1984.

This morning NPR news reported that:
the job situation has improved.

Reports indicated that:
employers were laying off workers more slowly

suggesting that:
they were holding off downsizing as long as possible.

There was a smile in the voice of the talking woman who read us the good news.
