kootch..
I truly hope those barristas are studying for careers that make their heart’s sing..
because their wages aren’t going to leave them anything to invest for their futures with guys like you calling the political shots.
I hope you didn’t break their hearts by telling them how you view their unionized service professions….
and if that nephew of yours is pulling down 110K a year driving trucks in the oil fields.. he’s most likely unionized too.
I am all in favor of people with a plan. The vulcanologist you had such a good time demeaning.. he had a plan too and it was going really well till someone decided we didn’t really need so many scientists.
the vulcanologist had a wife and kids when he lost his job..
not a good candidate for the oil fields…
he needed the health insurance that came with his retail job and the flexibility to schedule his time to accommodate childcare so his teacher wife could keep her job when they went from a professional salary supporting her vocation to her vocation supporting them.
That particular scientist also had 15 years experience analyzing volcanoes …
until a short term thinker decided we didn’t need to study them so much any more..
Bush Jr wasn’t into science
they won’t blow in our lifetime… will they?
we have machines monitoring them..
why would we need living breathing scientists who feel their heartbeat anyway?
short term planning for long term benefits seldom pays off.
Setting research on the volcanoes in our midst back a decade or two isn’t likely to pay off in the long run…
and it could be a real disaster in the short run
Bush Jr got lucky and another one didn’t blow on his watch… but they are still there.
You do a lot of short term thinking kootch…
when you couple that with a tendency towards snap judgments and a lack of understanding of the realities of life for most people
you get someone who thinks the bottom line is more important than the people who create it
and he blames victims for being swindled
when you only listen to that which agrees with your picture of the world…
you don’t see much.
