I was reading the Herald online today, and Matt Mc Carten was talking about Michael Moores latest Documentary - Capitilisim A Love Story - He shelled out the $14 dollars and went to the movies, I on the other hand, shelled out a couple of bucks in Bandwidth and watched in On Line: And no it was not slow it was about right in fact:
I love watching stuff on demand, I can pause and do other things in between and get alot more stuff done:
Anyway I would probably agree with much that Moore raises, the thing is though it is not the system that is stuffed, its the people, Guns dont kill people, people kill people:
I coule write a dozen movies why Socialisim doesnt work or communisim: But again its not the system, its the people:
Take another example, in Australia they have dedicated under cover Police to check people who try to ride the train illegally - ie not pay: Just because people ride the train without paying does it mean that Public Transport doesnt work, No - The people are greedy.
The parts I did find interesting was the Company where each of their employees actually had a stake in the company: they had votes and all sorts: Now the problem here was they were not a Progressive and had 9000 employees: They were a rather high tech company and those workers were engineers:
The concept wasd grat and actually many companies follow this line, Warehouse employees get shares in the company, Kirby Distributors upon reaching a certain level also get a share in their company:
These concepts are not new by any means, Network Marketing, Independent Consultants are all examples where the worker has power and influence:
The real issue for me is the Union, I can be united but I dont need to pay you 500 a year to be so, most companies now adopt a what ever the union gets we all get attitude, in some cases non- union are much better, ie I still haver the 500 in union fees in my back pocket, I dont strike so no loss of time or income for me:
In my view the union are a bunch of free loaders living of the un fortunante of others:
New Savvy Corporates will encourage their workers not to join the union becasue they are best to negotiate direct with its workers, not to mention save them that money: New Corporates will be morale, they will no right from wrong, and will be willing to work with and offer its workers a fair deal:
Problems and issues raised are best dealt with internally.
Other wise Moorse has done a pretty good movie, at parts its funny and others really sad: The issue I have though is OK we all work hard, and we make choices:
You cant expect the State to always be there for you, us on the other side have always said, its better to pay less tax, and to cover our selves, Insurance etc: - so when times do go bad, we have a safety net: We know the state is never really there for us: So thats why we think lower taxes, but the left wants higher taxes: But at the same time the state is out of control with our money: Its time for the left to get with it and decide who's team they are on.
