Even Fleet Week draws 1000s of spectators, and the bay itself is jammed. Ellison, if nothing else, is a pretty savvy businessman. Well, I hope so - I'd like to see it as it's something that I enjoy watching. When they had the Cup races live on Versus (then Outdoor Life) channel, I watched every race. I watched some of the last one, but for people on the shore, I doubt they could see anything. In SF, it would be much different. There would be viewing available from three sides inside the bay (at least) and even some from Marin for the offshore part. Secondly, I really think this fantasy about permanent vs. temporary jobs is totally stupid. Define permanent? Nobody can any more. It just isn't reasonable to hold up the economy because of some strange notion that if a job doesn't last forever it's no good. Total nonsense. All jobs boost the economy and fuel more jobs and more economic growth. This is BASIC economics. You need to take a remedial basic economics course then. A permanent job is defined as one without a definite end date. Temporary jobs have a definite end date. No course required... Cali is an "at-will" work state. Perhaps you're talking about staff positions? As for contract work, many people have open ended contracts, where the money is approved quarterly or even yearly. This is true for most staff positions these days. The job is reevaluated at intervals determined by the company. When a position is "no longer needed," it's eliminated via a layoff aka RIF. Not much difference, and both types of jobs contribute to the economy. Please prove otherwise. |
