Real Business don’t care about color, doesn’t care about sex, doesn’t care about age. Nothing is less important. Business cares about productivity, growth, and efficiency. It cares about profit. And profit is color blind. Real business means the best person for the job. It means filling specific roles with talented people, and promoting those talented people so that they can maximize their potential. The market dictates who is the most valuable, and based on skill sets, and worker supply, differentiation and demand, people earn based on their ability. If people aren’t being treated equitably, then the true free market means that there’s potential for competitors. If you’re capable, someone else will pay more to get that level of talent from you, and therefore be more productive. People are created equal, and live up to their respective potentials and aspirations. Business cares about results. Business is fair. If it’s not, there’s opportunity for competition, someone else to fill the void. Business maximizes resources in their most profitable manner. Business is change.
Government cares about none of this. Government’s idea of equality is not color blind, or blind at all. Governments fill quotas, and makes sure that people are represented by their attributes, and not by their skills in the name of reflecting diversity. Some people must be dragged forward, and some people must be held back. Productivity means nothing…only the act of producing. The end result isn’t as important the the process of getting there. According to the government, we’re created with disparities among us, and government is the great equalizer. Government doesn’t care about the maximizing of resources, it is about the preservation of existing process, jobs, and systems. Government does not take risks. It moves slowly, and reacts slower.
And so it begins. Government starts to aggressively dictate what business can and cannot do in regard to “reasonable compensation”, using fear and anger to turn those “have nots” violently against the haves…the “opiate of the masses” is not religion dear reader, it’s rhetoric. Here’s your two minutes of rage you Orwellian myopics…
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” 2 Timothy 4:3, King James Bible.
I don’t quote this to point to religion, but instead, for the historical tendency of people to have their “ears scratched”, because empty words that feel good elicit a more emotional response than consulting and thinking about “sound doctrine”. It’s all about what feels good, not what makes rational sense.
In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, released by Pelosi’s office late Monday, the San Francisco Democrat asked the department to weigh the public benefit of saving The Chronicle and other papers from closure against the agency’s antitrust mission to guard against anti-competitive behavior.
“We must ensure that our policies enable our news organizations to survive and to engage in the news gathering and analysis that the American people expect,” Pelosi wrote. (*SR note: Are newspapers the only ones uniquely qualified to gather an analyze news?*)
…
“I am confident that the Antitrust Division, in assessing any concerns that any proposed mergers or other arrangements in the San Francisco area might reduce competition, will take into appropriate account, as relevant, not only the number of daily and weekly newspapers in the Bay Area, but also the other sources of news and advertising outlets available in the electronic and digital age, so that the conclusions reached reflect current market realities,” Pelosi wrote.
“This is consistent with antitrust enforcement in recent years under both Republican and Democratic administrations. And the result will be to allow free market forces to preserve as many news sources, as many viewpoints, and as many jobs as possible.”
Didn’t Democrats campaign against the XM – Sirius merger because they felt it was a trust violation? Aren’t these the same people who are pushing for the “fairness doctrine” because they feel that media requires more regulation…not less? However, the moment that one of the precious newspapers (liberal media is a lie!!!) is threatened, they decide less regulation is necessary, and actually point to new media as being a reason to relax some of the regulations…except for talk radio. Talk radio is the exception to the rule. Talk radio needs “fairness”.
I can’t help but balk at the last quote, “the result will be to allow free market sources…” blah blah blah. Do you mean by loosening regulations you’re allowing the free market to work, and decide? So what does increasing regulations mean? ARGGGHHHHH!!! I don’t get this logic…I can’t make it make sense. Someone else help out here. What’s the liberal logic, or is it really stupidity?
The new conservative party platform or manifesto would contain the best of all parties, Libertarian, Democrat and Republican. The three basic concepts that all else would grow out from and be shaped by.
1) Capitalism
2) Smaller Government
3) Personal Responsibility
Just one BIG question on this. The vetting procedure for candidates from many different agencies and all the parties only caught this now? It appears that some are more equal than others, comrade.
When Dan Rather notices the MSM bias towards all things BO one has to wonder. Coverage of the most recent Biden gaff has been non-existent in MSM. Something about the international set testing BO because of his age…Biden has been given the next couple of days off by the campaign since he has been working so hard to NOT get BO elected. Now the rub, if Palin said something similar about McCain it would be front page news (sort of like their respectful and thoughtful disagreement on gay marriage is, which BTW is above the fold).
Rather did point out that the Internet could/would/is/will play a bigger role now and in the future in debunking MSM. Rather the uber-media-maven and apparently internet embracer says it is so.
On a personal note a number of people that believe Palin is the antichrist that I have spoken to in the last couple of weeks have been turned toward the light. Palin may not be any more qualified then BO but she is certainly not the book banning, willy nilly wolf shooting, neanderthal (who would have even thought of a labeling a woman with that little moniker?) that the left has tried to make her out to be. Yes they are all scummy politicians but if one checks their sources using other than the kool-aid vendors desired meme generators one will find a reason to vote based on fact and not rhetoric.
Evidently the truth will NOT always set you free. With 0’s army of fascist thugs shouting down anyone that does not suckle at the teat of his personality cult it looks like I get to increase the number of my civil disobedience infractions in the coming years. Unfortunately indications are that the 0-thugs might go a bit further than a little mace and dropped misdemeanor charges.
The bright and shiny of this whole 0 thing is that as all Idols in the west the fall is quite spectacular and fun to watch. Being POTUS, MAYBE, means fortunately or unfortunately that his publicist can’t have 0 hide out for a couple of years. At last count Britney Bit’s hit count was at a BAZILLION and counting.
Hum, me me me…”They tried to make me go to rehab but I said ‘no, no, no’”
UPDATE: Ismell did not tell the Debates Commission about her book!
So much for the attempt at installing blame the republican for not asking or knowing memes in our thick little heads. “With a financial stake in the election’s outcome,” Ismell “should not even be conducting interviews of the candidates, let alone moderating a debate”.
She’s black so her search for a piece of cheese armor will hold and she’ll still moderate the debate. Too bad I was so looking forward to watching it. Apparently nothing that happens one way or the other will alter the outcome of the coronation anyway. There is a clinic up here in the AV that is offering permenant tan treatments that I think I will look into. Wha’up my nigga I aint axing for nuthin just want my piece o cheese. Wow my tongue hurts but I’ll get used to it.
My personal email to Janet H. Brown, Executive Director of the Debates Commission: jb@debates.org H/T: Michelle Malkin
Ms. Brown,
For whatever reasons or truths, spun or unspun, using Ms. Ifill as moderator for the upcoming VP debate does not pass the smell test. There is little upside or added value that Ms. Ifill brings to the public interest table. In fact the exact opposite can be expected, much downside and subtractive value. The only person that wins from Ms. Ifill moderating this debate is Ms. Ifill herself (promoting her book and personal agenda).
If Ms. Ifill moderates the debate it will taint the process to the extent that I will skip the debate and the postmortem dissection.
