The truth is that those replacing the over 40 crowd that is getting fired are not making more and the purpose is not to just save money but to create an illusion of growth for the mind numb newbie to have hope to hold on to. I know several of the over 40 crowd that was fired and lets say if it was a money saving event it was a big mistake. It is going to cost them a lot more money. If money is no concern then they accomplished their goal.
