How the death of a homosexual cockroach in your bathroom can affect the economy of the country?

The News bulletin screamed, "Homosexual cockroach assassinated". These headlines led to a mass protest for justice by the members of 'Homosexual Association for Cockroaches' (HAC). The reports said that the homosexual cockroach was assassinated by another living being as differences arouse on grounds of sexual orientation. All the cockroaches were on an indefinite nation wide strike to seek justice for the president of the HAC, who was brutally assassinated in a bathroom. This nation wide protest has adversely affected the Fast Moving Consumer Good (FMCG) Industry, as the percentage of goods that are damaged by the cockroaches (both at homes and supermarkets/storage homes) which is roughly 11% has dropped to 0% considering all cockroaches are on a strike. The drop in the number of goods destroyed has reduced the demand for the goods and hence if this strike persists, the FMCG companies will have to rethink their marketing strategies.

Ironically the Homosexual cockroach that was assassinated, according to the post-mortem reports, had also proved HIV positive. The doctors also came up with the conclusion that every homosexual cockroach could now cause AIDS to the human community. This shocking news had sent a wave of tremor and panic among the humans. And this panic had a massive impact on the volatile stock market of the country. People suddenly started to disinvest in company shares and pooled all their investment into the medical health insurance schemes. This crash of the stock exchange by 700 points in one week was an historic record in the Indian stock market and this news made the headline of every newspaper in the country. As the news of the stock exchange crash spread, more people pulled out of share market. This continuous chain reaction had led to the collapse of the stock exchange in no time and had wrecked the countries economy.

The FMCG industry has a large part to play in the success of an economy as it supports many other industries like human resource managements, procurement consultants, television advertising, print media and had contributed a healthy 48% to the advertising sector(in year 2004). Hence the decline of the FMCG industry would certainly mean a major setback to the countries economy.

Similarly the stock exchange of the country, in most cases, speaks for the countries economic progress in terms of capital invested , foreign funds and the progress of the companies present in that very country. A crash in the share market would make foreign and domestic investors skeptical about their profits.

Cockroach is always that part of the house or bathroom that is most trivial. This incident goes to show that people have to be more vigilant, open-minded and reasonable while looking into petty matters of life. After all, who would have thought that some thing as small as a cockroach would take away the jobs of a million people.
