Fact of the matter is, people are no longer interested in classical music. It is gone from the radio in most cities I've visited. Can only get it on the a.m. dial in KC and really only in the daytime. Same story for jazz.
As far as the $104k base salary...they are skilled musicians and they worked hard, I'm sure to develop leadership skills the skills but unfortunately their skills are no longer valuable. When a cheap seat to they symphony is $25, people who are only marginally interested Read More
Gee, where are all the union hating creeps who blame all four functions of management GM's ills on the unions and not on management? As we can all see, GM management, not the UAW, is responsible for GM's operations, production and it's employees. For management to wish to change it's relationship with the UAW to a true partnership means that management knows the UAW is a key stakeholder in the future of the company. It makes sense to tie performance to pay as it gives less incentive Read More
Always a good Republican idea to look around to see who else they can screw.
Anyone who's ever been convicted of anything already has a horrible time finding a career work. Nearly every employment application they will ever encounter will always have the check box asking about this and if they answer truthfully, they won't get hired. This is possibly one of the biggest reasons for recidivism ever. So now the Republicans propose to codify that: If you've been convicted of anything, not Read More
What you have said is true, but isn't the argument.
What you've addressed will account for 1C of warming if CO2 doubles.
No one considers that a problem. What the CAGWers have said is that feedback mechanisms in the system will AMPLIFY that effect, causing maybe a 3.5C warming, melting of ice sheets, etc. CATASTROPHE!!
But the evidence is that the feedback isn't positive, and is rather negative feedback. Flat temperatures in the last decade or so argue strongly that the feedback mechanism Read More
Hypertension is in our family, and all the medical data has for years, pointed to salt, overweight, and stress. The doctors lay this on y,ou, usually during a high stress office visit, in a medical environment, while the MD has a white coat on. Net is astounding amount of people ,are on drugs for hypertension, prescribed during the office visit, or worse yet, during a physical. Best thing one can do, is track the readings over time, and see if you can help to control it. Salt and sugar Read More
The U.S. would gain much more than it loses from erecting barriers to entrepreneurship to cheap imported goods, because the vast majority of the dollar value of U.S. exports are items with substantial high-technology content (aircraft, military goods, computer software, etc.) for which there is little global competition, and which most of our trading partners would continue to purchase even if we raised barriers to our imports of their goods.
There would be a hit to U.S. farmers, but Read More
Edward, I oppose the union tactics as well. But I do think there should indeed be a real vote after a real and limited debate.
Let informed employees decide how to present themselves:
(1) as independent negotiators with management, with the individual's power based only on real value added, and with the real risk of job loss from some irrational management whim or by offshoring;
(2) as a member of a powerful negotiating partner that however risks upsetting the delicate economic balance, Read More
It's always fun to see liberals defend the defenseless acts of others. He murdered because he didn't have a father growing up. He robbed because his mother did crack. He beat another person because he grew up on the streets.
Not sharing advantages of franchising, we should do a system that puts everyone at the same level. Wait, the USSR tried that and it didn't work. Ok, we should try a system that gives FREE healthcare to all and large welfare payments to try to push up those that Read More
