Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / July 2008(OT:) Stolen from another group
On a news program today, pedestrains in NY were asked several questions about the US. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? And what country did it declare itself independent from? How many stripes are on the US Flag and what do they mean? How many US states are there? What was the first state? The 4th of July celebrates what? Who was the first, second and third US President? No one got all 3. It was amazing at some of the answers. No one got them all correct and the age range was from 10 to about 70. I was particularly flabbergasted when one person said that We The People wrote the Declaration of independence. She also said that the US declared independence from the Statue of Liberty.

This is the product of Americans having to spend so much time earning a decent living. This is the product of having to expend all our energy fighting to keep our jobs, competing with other workers consumed with their fear of unemployment, battling stupid managers who no longer manage people. We work much more than EU workers, yet they own most of America's large corporations. The team of managers working to outsource all our IT groups is from the UK or France. They will all go home to government provided healthcare and discount prescription drugs. American workers will be left severely under-employed and without any healthcare and having to pay full price for prescription drugs. BTW, the price of drugs in he US is set to compensate for the "losses" from having to discount prescription drugs in the rest of the world.

This is more a product of an education system that places more importance on using a condom than teaching traditional subjects. Also, the lack of discipline. You will always have people that aren't quite up to snuff, but the better the education they are given to begin with, the more they will know. >On Jul 3, 8:10 pm, Hachiroku ???? <Tru...@e86.GTS> wrote: >> On a news program today, pedestrains in NY were asked several questions [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > >Ed S.

God forbid Americans should have *REAL* jobs with *REAL* wages when we can have people in other countries doing it for pennies on the dollar! Don't believe the Clintoons had anything to do with it? Google it, please. Alas, a lot of companies have begun moving their IT call centers back to the US, because they are no longer saving any money, and realize that being near your employees is better than saving a few pennies... |
