As long as governments keep using every aspect of issues like tax law, or health contracts, etcetc, as ways to buy votes, you will see increasingly unwieldy systems that people will have to be trained to manage, instead of their jobs. <br /><br />Historically the Chinese emperors had enormous departments of public servants, that got bigger as they moved toward extinction. They needed that many because of the blown out red tape. Now the emperors are no more. <br /><br />I think the AI robots will manage all the red tape in different industries, so workers will be sacked. If governments don't wake up, forget about immigration being the fuse for people's anger, try massive unemployment bringing on revolutions.

You’re back on track :D
Loved this, and th...Hurray! You’re back on track :D<br />Loved this, and the article about jobs for the elite tapped into something I’ve been banging on about for years. <br />I hate the rise of the necessity to go to Uni in order to do a job that has no real requirement for it. <br />No idea why it’s become a ‘thing’ but it certainly succeeds in getting youngsters entrapped in debt from the get go.<br /><br />In large part, all it seems to have achieved is to make life harder, more competitive, more divisive and more stressful.<br /><br />I’m not against further education for those that want it, or careers that really need it, it’s just seems to have become almost a necessity.<br />I’ve also become aware that some youngsters see it as a way to hold back the need to even get a job.<br />Fizzfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690612271163437496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647425979151417363.post-67977744277244916022017-10-17T02:08:46.256+11:002017-10-17T02:08:46.256+11:00I agree with Dan re the quill..

That is the premise of the movie Pollyanna. People who have chosen power or money or security, over love, have been hurt, in my experience, often very deeply and early on in their life. <br /><br />The good man said, love thy enemy, love thy neighbour, love one another. I'm a long way off achieving all those things, but I can try.<br /><br />Thankyou, Dan. Stick around! The first Roman meme was badly spelled twice, but given all the criticism currently about the US government, I thought it was comforting.

It deals with a topic much on my mind. Maybe I'll get out my quill and parchment one of these days.<br /><br />Trouble is, to come back to your post, dear Aussie, how does one change the value system of an adult human being? I know for sure that it has been done but oh, so seldom, it seems to me. People who grow up thinking that power, for instance, is the core value of a successful life regard those who talk of love with contempt.<br /><br />Word to the wise: never, ever share your coffee cream eclair.<br />Rinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647425979151417363.post-5178307222886800002017-10-14T21:15:01.882+11:002017-10-14T21:15:01.882+11:00There's a lot in this post.
