As to blaming the bankers for the tanking, try being a bit honest. It won't hurt.

There, that clears that up.



Oh, snerk.

Now you are snerking Mike Bloomberg? He is to the left of you.


Oh, Mikey is writing under a nom de plume now, eh?

The last time I looked "Bloomberg Business" was one of Mikey's rags.



And you think Bloomberg looks at every article every day planned for his
site before it appears, eh?

I think that if you are not writing the type of article Mike likes,
you won't be working there long.

Do you have the same opinion of Fox and Murdoch?


I doubt Murdoch watches a lot of Fox News. He's not, after all, the sort
of idiot the network attracts to its "news" programming.

Back in the day when I worked for a big circulation daily newspaper, the
stuff on the editorial pages -opinions and op ed pieces and features-
ran the gamut. There was no effort made to kiss the ass of either the
editorial page editors or the managing editors or the publisher. My
guess is that Bloomberg himself pays little attention to the content of
his publication(s).

Now, my hometown paper, the New Haven Register, was "responsible
Republican" in those days, and it rarely endorsed other than Republican
candidates for political office, but it had little difficulty getting
behind editorials that were "progressive" in nature. Of course, back in
those days, Republicans were *responsible* and not the sort of insane
trash that party puts forth for national office these days.

Which was what, a summer internship 45 years ago?

I can not speak to the building trades. I can however speak to the skilled trades program in the auto industry. I am a diemaker by trade. The Ford program was 2000 hours of classroom instruction and 6000 hours of on the job, hands on training.

I completed my apprenticeship in 3 1/2 years and I enjoyed a nice 11+ years working in the trade before taking a salaried position with Ford for my final 13 years there.

I would think that most skilled trade positions are structured because they have to be. To call someone a slow learner because it might take 3 to 4 years to complete the program is an insult to tradesmen(women) in general.
