It baffles me how the GOP Greed Over People party continue to alienate everyone but the rich. Let's blame the unemployed. It's their fault that greedy corporations layoff people just so they can increase their profits! Some people work so hard to get a degree, Then they work in a company but suddenly they are laid off. How is that their fault? So much for creating jobs... |
Are you implying that a company lays people off entirely at random and doesn't take factors you're in control of into consideration?
Are you suggesting that an individual can not recognize when the company or industry they're working in is in decline and make rational decisions to change careers before they're laid off?
It is one thing to be empathetic or sympathetic to individuals because they made decisions that worked out poorly for them, it is another thing altogether to claim that they had no control over their outcomes ...

In this case i'd say it often requires more knowledge of business and economics trends than you might expect people to have. Like someone who, right now, is banking on a supplemental income of Saturday work at the Post Office, or just the US Postal Service in general, would be pretty dumb, but what about someone working for RIM? Who could have foreseen the fall of the Blackberry?

One member of my team (works in QA) left RIM and returned "home" to Calgary because she saw that the company was heading in the wrong direction 18 months ago ...
Personally, I have found that in most businesses the average worker has a pretty good feel for if the company is moving in the right direction or not

Tell that to the half retarded janitor.

I don't think you would find many people (of any political stripe) that would have a problem with supporting people with mental disabilities. At the same time, very few people would suggest that people with mental disabilities represent a significantly large portion of the population who are unemployed or underemployed.
