Simon sez to boss, "we got to shut down operations cauz we ain't secure 
...."

Boss sez to Simon, "but then we'll loss business, maybe be out of 
business ...."

Simon sez to boss, "sorry, that's the only viable approach to take ...."

Boss sez to Simon , "I hope you got your resume up to date, you're going 
to need it.  You're fired!"

Simon sez "but I'm right"

Simon sez "how am I going to pay the rent?"

Simon sez "how am I going to eat?"

Simon sez "doesn't anybody care?"
