The Dumb American Worker
By Bill Sardi

*** begin quote ***

Here we go, socialist jingo. Note the words “income inequality.” Joining a union is not going to get you anywhere as the union takes a cut of your paycheck. Unions, plus or minus, socialize what a worker is worth.  

Businesses operate in a competitive market. Cost of labor can doom a restaurant owner who is only working on a 10% profit margin to begin with. Of course, we can halt competition. Then the cost of everything rises.

We send American kids to school with no orientation on how to get a job, how to build their worth, how to develop job skills. Students pass a few college classes that hand out true or false tests and that makes them worth more in the labor market? Young Americans would be better off working as an understudy plumber. 

A few years ago The Wall Street Journal published a report showing plumbers make more money (six figures) than college graduates.

And, I just shake my head at the “stupidity” of “immature adults” taking loans for degrees that command no use in the market place.

A retired Qantas pilot has opened up on what may have happened during the mysterious MH370 flight that disappeared almost 10 years ago.

Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 vanished over the South China Sea during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China, on March 8, 2014.

The puzzling case made headlines across the world as it seemed the plane, which carried 239 people – including six Australians, disappeared without a trace.

Just one week after the plane was downed, then-Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak claimed there was a ‘high degree of certainty’ communications with MH370’s cockpit were deliberately cut.

One popular theory is the crash was a murder-suicide at the hands of captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, but it has never been confirmed by authorities.

*** and ***

British aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey last month accused the Malaysian Government of abandoning its search for MH370.

He claims the government did not want to invest any more funding into the mission, despite several calls from victims’ families to relaunch search efforts last year.

‘In my view, the Malaysian government does not want the cause of the crash of MH370 to be known,’ he told the Sydney Morning Herald.

‘It does not help to speculate what the motives of the Malaysian Government might be with regard to MH370.’

Sad to say but this “story” does nothing to answer the questions or prove that it was a murder – suicide.
