'If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.'
- The Dosadi Lesson: A Gowachin Assessment
(Frank Herbert, 'The Dosadi Experiment')
I advise you all to watch VERRRY carefully after the holidays, for which programs are still around. This is survival of the fittest. Every program for themselves. Only the strong will survive!

I don't think it quite works like that. It is more the admins who decide that they want a bit of extra christmas cash.
in this arena you never know, x-mas, summer time, what is good today could be gone tomorrow.
Absolutely right! Always be on top of your programs, secure your investments. But more importantly, be on the lookout for the warning signs of imminent failure at this time of year. Such as holiday bonuses, increased interest rates, 'celebration specials'... sometimes genuine, many times, not.
