AT&T is downsizing, IBM downsized a while back, so why couldn't the NSA just do the right thing: admit that the Soviet threat is no more, congratulate the victors, and downsize by 20,000 employees?

Your post is very interesting. I would like to add to it in the form of a question: Q) What are the factors, in what context did AT&T and IBM and many other big companies downsize? Or, in other words: What are the ultimate contextual causes of the downsizing? Regards to Cypherpunks from a new guy on the mailing list. JFA
