I guess this makes a hat trick for the HPlus website for the week (to be honest, I don’t believe I’d ever even been to this site prior to this week). Anyway, the whole doomsday thing had me thinking about profiteering. “Give us your life savings and we’ll stop the doomsday – if doomsday doesn’t come, then it was money well spent, if it does roll on through, then you won’t need the money anyway…” Not quite the meaning behind the article, but that was my playful take on the notion of exploitation in the face of “certain” doom.
