Thoughts about the current state of things in the United States and the world, and other points of the moment.
When I was a student in college the only "offs" in my life were Smirnoff Vodka, and from history, the Romanoffs of Russia. Beginning with the Reagan administration a new "off" dominates the life of all Americans ... "layoff".
How many times have you seen a large American corporation announce record profits while at the same time laying off employees?
Is it so terrible for a corporation to weather a downturn by accepting lower profits rather than maintain increasing profits by cutting expenses (i.e., by laying off employees)? Employees are human beings ... they eat, breathe, raise families, write books, sing songs ... in short, they are the lifeblood of a business. I have never heard of a corporation playing catch with it's son, or giving birth to a baby, or telling a joke and bringing a smile to another person's lips.
We need to get a mindset back at the top of the corporate level that there are three IMPORTANT groups of human beings in a corporation --- stockholders, management, AND employees. All are highly important and should be treated with equal respect.
If the Republicans have their way all corporations will be stockholders and management ... with employees as transient dust.
Remember .... VOTE Democratic in November.
And tell your Representatives at ALL levels that we need to urge corporations to treat employees with respect ... and if the corporations don't get the message then pass laws to teach them how !
