Article...Olcharlie makes points worth considering.<br /><br />Articles on the Russian Consumer Economy (RCE) are rare.<br />However, I have heard that the RCE is still not doing well. A Reuters Report from May confirms the newscast.<br /><br />I doubt Trump’s rabble, likely Fox News watchers, are particularly well informed, or interested in the fate of the Russian people. The rabble, in general aren’t especially knowledgeable or thoughtful in any case. <br /><br /><br />Regarding the notion about Health Care, I’m know that employers are sensitive to both the bottom line and the job market. There are low life employers in every sector more than willing to exploit their employees at every turn. Look at the actions of Billlionaires like Bloomberg, Romney and Trump to name a few. There are also many employers who want good employees and know that to compete they must and do offer good benefit packages. Even so, some firms still are exploitive in other ways. I can cite instances from stories told by family and friends.<br /><br />The rarely recognized problem, an elephant in the room, is the problem of size. The larger the country the more distant the government representatives are from the citizens and the more in line they are with big business and big money.<br /><br /><br /><br />Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-79329489477744258112017-12-07T11:50:32.542-05:002017-12-07T11:50:32.542-05:00However many Americans it took to elect Trump are ...However many Americans it took to elect Trump are probably unaware of the differences between here and anywhere else. They still believe that Russia is communist and the grocery shelves are bare. Nor do I think they're easily insulted.<br /><br />But more on topic, they don't realize that unemployment is worsened by our lack of single payer health care. As long as the onus of health insurance remains on business they'll opt to overwork fewer employees rather than provide the added cost of insurance for more employees. Fewer workers working longer hours equal reduced insurance costs.<br />olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-31983860816619071762017-12-06T17:30:30.571-05:002017-12-06T17:30:30.571-05:00We need to advocate a complete reform of work for ...We need to advocate a complete reform of work for men and women, not read about this kind of drivel!<br /><br />Why do professionals — Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, Business Executives, Scientists, Engineers, Educators- and, actually, not only professionals — need to routinely work 70 - 80 hours a week? <br /><br />These days everyone is putting in long hours by job description or choice, needing to pick up overtime or get second jobs to get a little ahead, if not just to make ends meet.<br /><br />So, no I don’t want to read about the Finish dads who spent 8 minutes more with their kids. Such articles insult our collective intelligence.<br /><br />Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.com
