While the common consensus of global opinion places the blame for the recent recession at the door of high level banking and investment operatives, its continuing effects are most significant amongst the working classes of society. Even as we continue along the steep and well worn paths of economic recovery, governments are still being forced to make budgetary cuts and modifications to combat the remnants of their financial deficits.
In Wisconsin this week, 15 educational facilities were forced to cancel classes in the midst of a staff protest at the state, in reaction to a proposed bill that would impinge their collective bargaining rights and reduce the governments contributions to their benefits. While the protest is perceived as one that is concerned with the financial implications, it is clearly more focused on worker rights and the punishment of staff for federal errors in judgement.
A Countrywide Issue
This issue is part of a larger picture, in which budgetary restrictions are being replicated and contested in many of the poorer US states. Put simply, the proposed legislation will implore workers to invest more in their individual health care premiums and pension contributions, while removing the burden from government institutions. Also, workers would default on their right to have dues deducted straight from their weekly or monthly salary.
From the workers point of view, this is less a bill motivated by budgetary restrictions and more one that is a calculated attack on workers and labor organizations. It is also perceived as the government targeting bodies and individuals who are vulnerable in the current economic climate. Quite aside from this, there is a growing concern as to why workers and laborers should pay the price for the mistakes of government and lending institutions.
In terms of the governments perspective, the bill is designed purely to ease the states burden and reduce the countries financial deficit. In addition to this, they predict that this temporary legislation can minimize damage to the economy in the short term and ultimately save and help to create job opportunities in the long term. This is a consistent feature of recent government legislation throughout the western world, with a view to repairing the economy and moving forward towards prosperity.
The Motivation Behind the Bill
The key issue with this scenario is not necessarily the legislation itself, but the motivation behind its inception. Regardless of the governments claim that the bill is necessary to facilitate the process of economic recovery, there is a strong argument that the working class faction of society are being targeted to compensate for a deficit that is beyond their control. Given the perception that the global recession was the result of reckless government spending and poor financial decision making, it is fair to surmise that penalizing public sector workers and unions is an act of sheer convenience to federal bodies.
This situation highlights a strange anomaly in democratic government, as it is often the voters who are forced to make sacrifices in order to reduce an economic deficit. Though the government itself creates budgets and policies to manage the economy and also regulate independent lending organizations, when these fail it is the working individuals in society who are required to take on the subsequent burden of a financial shortfall. The argument of hard working tax payers is that financial organizations should be forced to take more responsibility for their actions, and target other methods to reduce the national deficit.
Governments ‘Taking the Easy Option’
One of these options may be to divert money out of welfare resources, which would ensure that contributing members of society are not so afflicted in the wake of a global recession. However, there is a strong argument that governments choose to target public sector working organizations as an easy and safe option, as they can rely upon the perceived logic that this faction of society is both employed directly by the state and able to bear the financial sanctions without encountering poverty.
While this opinion may have a basis in fact, it is also a vast supposition about an individuals personal finance and their ability to maintain an acceptable standard of living. While raising income tax and reducing the governments burden of health care contributions for public sector employees maybe the easiest and most effective way to reduce a financial deficit, it is not particularly fair on these individuals who are not responsible for the economic problems of the US.

Rod,Cite me one example. I know there are plenty of Unban Legends, but I have yet heard one concrete example of a company doing that. Besides, patents usually run out after 20 years.It would make no sense for a company to sit on a superior technology unless perhaps they had a monopoly, which by the way is another Urban Legend as there has been no such animal except for those granted by the United States Government. In a free market (which currently doesnt exist) there would always be competitors who would jump in on any gravy train that sprung up.

All we heard in the off season was that the Bays and Hollidays did not want to come hit at AT&T, and that they were too expensive. So Sabean went with the cheaper options of Huff and DeRosa and thats all we got, cheap options. Neukom/Baer want us to wait until they can develop power hitters from the minors, but by then the window of opportunity for the pitching staff will have closed, or went to the Yankees/Red Sox. Maybe instead of buying orange jerseys that look horrible, striped socks, and orange billed caps, they could have spent a little more money for a power hitter, although with Sabean around, he would have given it to Dave Roberts and Rich Aurilia.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
I would like to express my thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of this type of crisis. Right after scouting throughout the world-wide-web and meeting views which are not powerful, I thought my entire life was done. Living without the presence of approaches to the problems you’ve resolved as a result of your good blog post is a serious case, as well as those that might have adversely damaged my entire career if I hadn’t noticed your website. Your own talents and kindness in controlling every part was precious. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not discovered such a solution like this. I can at this time look forward to my future. Thanks a lot very much for the skilled and results-oriented guide. I won’t hesitate to recommend the blog to anybody who ought to have assistance about this matter.
I was curious if you know of any legitimate envelope stuffing companies, because every time that I find a website that seem to offer these jobs I am unable to get anywhere with them. I am constantly clicking link after link until I see a credit card form wanting my information. Or better yet are there any companies that hire people to come into their business and stuff envelopes? Thanks!
Guess it is a little more useful when people know what model number Im talking about. Thanks for adding that in.

If you can answer this question, then you can prove me wrong: Why do we need right and wrong in an objective sense? What can right and wrong do, objectively, that right and wrong in a subjective, evolutionary sense cannot do? For those of you who plan to trot out Hitler again, let me tell you: for every Hitler there is a non-Hitler to oppose him. There will never be one single dominant course of thought at any time in human history (never has been, never will). There will always be dissent at the genetic, emotional and political levels, even if it is not widely publicized. So the wrongs and rights of humanity will always run counter to each other, whether or not they are objective for every wrong humanity produces, it is mathematically possible (and likely) for it to produce a right as well by that same process, because the process is indiscriminate between right and wrong. Why, then, do we need objective morality? What does it accomplish that subjective morality does not? How does it make the physical world any different than subjective morality does? What does it change in the world that subjective morality does not?

Ive been very shy to share what has gone on in the last nine years of my life because too often opinionated but uninformed people have given me one of two unsolicited responses. #1: Asthma cant do that? Theres got to be more! And/Or #2 Just move out! I was then too shy to do much but get away as quickly as possible, trying not to cry. I wish Id answered them tactfully but with truth. #1 Yes, asthma CAN do that if aggravated this extensively and #2 since I cant cross a room or do anything physical, how would I maintain a place of my own? Grocery shopping, vaccuuming, dusting, bed-making and earning rent money on a job dont do themselves! So I think its quite a miracle of courage from God for me to share, which I so rarely do.
Although I’m aware you’re trying the case that it’s wrong because it can’t be so by definition, it’s clear to me that this ties in to the idea that it is immoral to do so because it supposedly defies the definition of marriage.
hahaha….half these comments make absolutely no sense!

Ultimately, we have agreed (I think) that we find most of the same things to be repugnant (torture, murder, etc.). I think this is good evidence that we all have a basic moral intuitions about the nature of goodness. No one has to tell us what is good, we know intuitively.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Well done article that. I’ll make sure to use it weilsy.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
That’s not just the best asnwer. It’s the bestest answer!
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
