The latest round of government data on worker productivity indicates that you probably are. The Labor Department said Tuesday that the American work force produced, at an annual rate, 6.4 percent more of the goods they made and services they provided in the second quarter of this year compared to a year ago. At the same time, "unit labor costs" - the amount employers paid for all that extra work - fell by 5.8 percent. The jump in productivity was higher than expected; the cut in labor costs more than double expectations. That is, despite the deep job cuts of the past year, workers who remain on the payroll are filling in and making up the work that had been done by their departed colleagues. In some cases, that extra work came with a smaller paycheck. Full story here... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32374533...n_the_economy/ On todays production lines the volume can be increased without a corresponding increase in the effort of the individual. So a 6.4% increase in production does not mean that the employee is being overworked as implied. Don't know if you're heard, we don't have production lines here anymore. We're in the service business and military arms. The productivity gains come from less workers doing more, working longer hours for pay that doesn't keep up with the rising cost of living. No production, so we could not raise productivity. You kept all your deadwood. You don't have to produce on a line to be productive. We write software, it doesn't benefit from a faster production line. We are doing more with less people. When times are lean, that's the way it works. Did you ever work for an entreprenurial company or only behemoths? How well are those German screwdrivers helping you write software? That's what I was thinking, how do you write software with a screwdriver! He's lying like Harry of course, you'll see no evidence of his work. I will support jps here. I wrote software for embedded systems. Most for years was in PROM's. So you had to take the screw driver and open up the case to pop out the old PROM and install the new one. And it'd take high dollar German made screwdrivers to pry open the case?! No, we used the pocket knife at times. Only real problem we had is the guy who originally designed the case had designed military tanks. So all screws were stainless. Case was sheet aluminum. Could never get the Engineering change board to sign off on changing the stainless to plated Keps. Then the assembly people could have used the magnetic power screwdrivers with even better production results. Production work sucks! I remember when my brother was still in school he got a job at an electronics facility soldering circuit boards! |

You are correct! The lies about the death panel crap that is coming from the right is dishonest, and they know it, that is IF they read that part. All is fair in love, war and politics. If you can't stomach the fight then go home. Oh, so you condone your party's lies? More and more Republicans are coming out saying they want their party to stop that nonsense. It makes them look stupid for one thing. And the people who believe those lies then have to save face somehow. You mean like saying you landed in a hot zone and ran for cover, or saying the CIA lied, or saying the old folks fighting against health care reform were carrying swasticka's? Oh wait... forget it... Yes, a lie is a lie. BUT, you didn't answer the question! Ok, I will guess the question is about death panels.. The panels of uninvolved strangers from the government shouldn't be refered to as "Death Panels"... They should be called "Politically correct timely demise panels"... ;) Panels are panels. Call them what you will. A name simply identifies something, you call it a planning panel, I call it a Politically correct timely demise panel.. Tomato, Tomato. It is still a panel of uninvolved strangers who will be looking at paperwork and providing suggestions based on Government "Guidelines" as they will be folks who answer to the Government, not a doctor, financial advisor, family, guardian, durable power of atty, or lawyer that knows you and should the ones helping you make those decisions... BULL****! They aren't providing ANY "suggestions" based on anything. And it IS done by the doctor's liasons. ALL it does is require Medicare to OFFER counseling. The planning is nothing more, nothing less than thinking ahead about the treatment you'd like to receive at the end of your life.
