And you thought government and bureaucracies were poor economic stewards because they were inefficient, overly-regulatory, and moved at a glacial pace.
Racists.
Oh, wait —

Wow. That is incredible. Large businesses must really like those regulations, because when you tier them like that, you create a barrier to further hiring at every step of the tier.
No wonder my former employer sent me all those weird notices. I was his first actual employee, as opposed to contractors. I’m surprised he survived as long as he did. He should have kept me as a 1099 guy.
Sigh.
Great comment at the link:
No shit, they’ve done quite enough “nudging”, thankyouverymuch.
This phone sucks for browsing. That is all.
today’s secret phrase is “capital flight” don’t tell anyone
did capital buy their tickets on orbitz
Kinda blows the whole notion of evil free market capitalism all to hell, doesn’t it? Giving the left a point.
That only requires a bald-faced lie to perpetuate: It’s got not a damn thing to do with free, markets, or capitalism.
If capital is willing to brave the long security lines and the full-body scanner, I say let it fly.
Me, I’m taking the bus.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m following capital.
Is there room on that flight, Jobs?
When should we move in?
You’re already at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue….
Capital, disguised as debt, overpowered a Pan Am flight crew today while they were over the Pacific Ocean and forced the crew to fly them to the noted free-market haven, Hong Kong, RoC.
As one hijacker referred to only as “Mr. U.S. Grant” put it. “We jes’ doin’ it for the Benjamins, baby!”
HopenChange bites.

studentsslavesMort Kondrake just got b-slapped by some woman on the FauxNewz panel after he said that anyone who wants to abolish the Dept of Education is a wacko.
Mortie is a long-time douchebag, and KT, praise Jesus, isn’t.
Anyone who wants to do anything with the DoEd besides firing everyone there and dynamiting the building is a wacko.
– And you thought….We didn’t have to “think” anything. There is not a single instance of efficient, bang for your buck government you can site in the last 200+ years that didn’t involve shutting some department or service or other down and defunding it. Period.
#20 – Maybe the Manhattan Project? But that was literal bang for buck(s). I still wonder what the heck the DoE is for…other than to provide lots of GS slots for the correct folks.
LTC John — the Manhattan Project wasn’t a “government program”. It was a plantation, with Groves as the overseer.

The Manhatten Project could not be done today. The Apollo Project could not be done today, not with three white males in the capsule.
Ric Locke is frighteningly right, and you you hear it increasingly in the MSM; ie, “if only we had one person to control everything, like in China, then good things could be done much faster. — Yikes —–
#22 – Ric, Ah, I see – more of a “you boys whip us up something useful and weapon like, ya hear?” And then gave them whatever they needed. And you still don’t want to wave a Geiger counter around the U of Chicago football stadium to this day…
#23 – So when Paul Krugman sleeps, does he dream of Mao sheep?
That’s exactly right, Colonel. To repeat: we left football to win the war. We’d still be perennial favorites otherwise. Also, not nerds. Library warriors.
If capital is going somewhere, can we carpool together?
