Monetary policy immoral? Ridiculous. Holding a gun to someone's head and forcing them to adhere to some sick career bureaucrats idea of what constitutes a 'minimum wage' is what is immoral. Force is immoral. Consenting adults agreeing between themselves on what constitutes a reasonable working relationship...that is called freedom, not immorality. Both sides in this are fighting for the immoral, not reasonable levels of freedom…immoral force is what both sides offer, to our detriment. They only differ in degree, not in policy. Both think of employers and employees as slaves to suck lifeblood from. That is immoral.Bruce A.

Replace the engines and privatize.<BR/><BR/>The feds aren't just coming, they're at the door already. Time to suck it up, politely answer the door and draw some tea already. They might be open to bringing some scones tomorrow.. if you're nice enough.Lil' Hammerheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937533318872228053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954728584544867895.post-26667309415520515312008-05-01T15:04:00.000+10:002008-05-01T15:04:00.000+10:00I hope you're right that they have little to no ch...I hope you're right that they have little to no chance of succeeding on stopping the minimum wage increase.<BR/><BR/>On the proposed money/financial aid package, they say it can be used for "transportation projects, measures to bring down the cost of fuel and stabilize shipping, job retraining, emergency financial relief to affected employers, efficiency studies for local governments, and funding for essential public services." Also tourism.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if transportation projects could include sidewalks. I have a feeling we'll all need to be walking and biking more, soon.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539031292434421835noreply@blogger.com
