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. 

It sounds like your saying a small minority does not matter. Under that logic we should not be concerned about the super rich and be concerned with the masses of less privliged people. Consequently, suggesting they deserve more taxes and the wealth should be distributed more equally to the masses.
