We interrupt our regularly scheduled bloggodoccio to bring you this important message from Mr. Beer ‘N Hockey with a Peter Finch rubber mask over head and Faye D. pouring scotch at his side:
“…I think the depth of our present poor economic circumstance is due to the fact the economy has nowhere good to bounce back to. I reckon my province’s forest industry’s history and present situation mirrors the world’s economy in some important ways, the most important of which is the number of plants shut and workers told to f*ck off in the past few decades.
In the early ’80s the economic depression was very deep as well. The forest industry was particularly hard hit, but when the economy bounced back most of the sawmills were still there to create capital and employ people.
Not like that any more is it? The old sawmills are gone forever. Same goes for too many of the rest of the work sites across the western world. They are gone to countries where workers are treated more like shite than workers here are.
And if I hear one more motherf*cking politician start blabbering about job creation strategies I am going to vomit. We do not need politicians to get us out of the f*cking mess we are in right now – we need a magician, or, failing that, we need us some truth.
“Now that is insight.
And an interesting, and potentially important, POV I’ve not come across before.
Hmmmmm….
Talking Head puffed-up punditry that actually means something.
It looks like it is not just for David Byrne and/or The Ledgie Boys anymore.
