The Age-Advantaged Workforce
A Different Job Strategy
by Terry Ebert

***Begin Quote***

“The leading edge of the baby boom still has the old hiring mentality, that age is a negative rather than an advantage, ” says Ayers’ Senior Vice President Doug O’Connor, CFP. “It usually comes out at our first meeting with a 55+ candidate: ‘Will I ever be able to find a job again?’ As we work with these candidates on positioning, they begin to recognize the depth of the resources they’ve accumulated over the years.”

Demand a contract and take a full measure of “value retained”!

Public Schools Have Flunked Out
by James Erwin Norwood

***Begin Quote***

Public schools have stayed in business, in spite of their bad results. Their failures have not been punished by bankruptcy or loss of jobs. Their failures have been rewarded with more money, which has operated as a perverse incentive to fail again and again.

***End Quote***

So when does the plug get pulled?

GUNS: School shootings are a result of a stupid law

PROVEN SOLUTIONS
TO ENDING SCHOOL SHOOTINGS

***Begin Quote***

(A) schools/kindergartens make for very attractive targets for the deranged gunman as well as for the profit-oriented hostage gangsters or terrorist group, because:

(1) everybody sane will cave in to the demands of the evildoers (even somebody as hard-nosed as Golda Meir, may she rest in peace, said during the Maalot incident, that one does not make politics on the backs of one’s children). Nobody wants to play the principles-game when kids are involved. Kidnapping has thus often resulted in the paying of ransom demands.

(2) if you crave media attention, as for instance the PLO did in the 70’s, nothing will catch the headlines better than an attack on a school-full of kids.

***End Quote***

Seems like a “gun free zone” is a recipe for a lot of children dying. We don’t live in fantasyland where real world facts can be ignored.
