Similar to 2008 but the 1% found out a way to keep their wealth intact while still fucking everyone else over.

In 2008, those responsible got the rest of us to bail them out and give billions in bonuses.

That said, this one I kind of get. Mergers and acquisitions create literal redundancies. You end up with duplicates of people and departments.
