Perhaps companies should create a virtual travel industry that is almost as good as the real thing if that's possible. I'm picturing trying to communicate with an Italian waiter who barely speaks English. On the other hand, that happens in Los Angeles on a daily basis!

business has risk

QUICK: THE CEOs' stock options depend on 1. Firing as many people as they can get away with and; 2. Getting a fat government subsidy with no strings attached!
