Happy 4th to all:

Good laugh:

CNN: "President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he’ll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans.”
=========================================

CNN didn’t say that in 2016 when Bernie Sanders visited Mount Rushmore


=============================


March 31,2008

CNN praised Obama at Mount Rushmore

The teachers' unions in Ontario are abysmal.. no private sector involved.. They enable mediocrity and teachers that got th extra mile cannot speak out against inadequate colleagues or suffer censure.. It is ALWAYS for the children.. more money.. less work... and the children no longer matter to the union.. The system has been hijacked by the union..

OTOH 2008 saw the weakening of many unions dealing n the private sector.. so maybe it is public sector unions.. actually no maybe about it I guess... Lowering wages for once productive union jobs like the autoworkers in Ontario,, They were well paid but were also very productive.. that was VALUE...

One branch of Ontario government I see from experience has improved greatly.. Service Ontario.. Mind you there was semi privatization involved... regardless... service at government branches and private franchises has vastly improved in my 30 plus years in Ontario...

neoliberal LOL an oxymoron ? :)

at any rate.. I am clearly a fiscal Conservative and social Liberal.. Taxes are NOT bad.. but waste is a crime...

I believe in quality public ed and health care.. I mean not even what we have in Ontario to be sure.. it falls far short from quality it should be... I also believe we need a UBI... Let all start from pretty level ground... it will never be equitable.. but certainly can be levelled out much better... handouts should be rare.. hand ups should abound.. I believe in equality of opportunity.. not outcomes... you cannot legislate equality of outcomes.. it de incentives.. but equality of opportunity.. is a corollary to abhorring waste...

m.. been thinking about my statement..

I have an EXTENSIVE and terribly eclectic Spotify playlist.. I just turned a 30 year ols rap fan onto Bobby Vinton's Sealed with a Kiss :)

anyway This came on



This verse stands out among others..

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store


That is the evil that unions stopped.. so yes unions are necessary .. but like all things humans create.. they get tainted by some :(
