Importance of Temporary Jobs

                    

Why not look for a temporary job when permanent opportunities are scarce? There are a variety of temporary positions in different industries, covering a variety of activities.

                       

This advice is for those just out of school with a new diploma but with no job offers in their chosen profession. And a suggestion for those of you who have no idea what it is, exactly, you would like to work at.

                       

You will get the on-the-job experiences you need, though few may relate in any way to what you studied in courses at school. You may even wait tables in some instances.

                       

But they will all add to your practical education. And, importantly, to your pocketbook. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)

Poor Public Economics Knowledge

                                    

I listen to call-in radio to hear how people think about everyday living matters. They talk about personal finance, economics and business and related political slants.

                       

I find most folks are in the dark about the basics that they should have acquired in public school. College graduates often are just as lacking in fundamentals. Except for any poor indoctrination they may have gotten from professors. Most have no knowledge of basic finance, economics and business.

                       

And unfortunately, too many radio and Tv moderators and anchors have had similar schooling, and are in no position to correct

erroneous views. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)

Climate Ploys

                  

Since the heat waves of summer will replace the dire experiences of severe winter, climate control is bound to get more media attention.

There are climate enthusiasts who treat climate control as a religion and have no doubt the earth is warming.

                       

But to others it’s a political cause that creates a road to office and helps to keep politicians there.

                       

To still others in government, it’s a subterfuge for quietly and indirectly raising taxes on consumers, as well as industry.

                       

And for others, it’s business in which you can buy and sell so-called cap and trade credits. They also market a green philosophy in a variety of industrial and consumer products, choose to develop profits.

                       

Eventually the now-gullible public will find out the climate promoters can be grouped with the types who used to tell us the world would come to an end by a certain date. When that never occurred we just

forgot about the quackery.(See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)

Rants Against For-Profit Companies

             

Government-operation proponents are always enthusiastic about non- profit business. They rant against profit-making businesses.

The so-called non-profits can lose fortunes for their backers, while the for-profits can make pennies-on-the-dollar of sales. Yet, the government-operation fanatics remain committed to left-wing perception and deception.

                                       

It is impossible for private business to compete for long, whether it be the insurance business, health care, energy production, whatever, if taxpayer funds are grabbed by government for capital and operating

capital needs. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Poor Example

                                              

Ben Bernanke, who previously headed the Federal Reserve system, made an avid study of the actions of Franklin D, Roosevelt during the latter’s tenure in office during the Great Depression.

                   

Bernanke set the Fed’s policy that fundamentally still operates today under Janet Yellen.

                   

Roosevelt made many errors, including raising taxes, and enormous spending after signs of economic recovery became apparent later on, in the 1930s. In fact, he never got us out of the depression. The then war effort did.

                   

Yet, Bernanke and his successor appear to be following a similar easy-money route that is not working.

                   

Roosevelt’s administration, as is the present-day administration, was dedicated to class warfare and “soaking the rich” as a chief aim. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)

Are Government Business-Cost Savings Possible?

        

Whenever the government proposes a function that is now done by private industry, the taxpayer will be contributing the necessary capital and operating funds.

           

And will be taking all the risks taken on by the stockholders of private industry. As well as responsibility for the losses, which are bound to happen under government operation. Think Post Office and countless other examples.

           

So be careful of any government attempt to “reduce costs” by competing with private enterprise. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)

Teachers are Earning Their Pay?

                    

The National Assessment of Educational Progress has been called the Nation’s Report Card. It reported that only 23% of fourth-graders, 30% of eighth-graders, and 21% of 12th-graders were” proficient” or “advanced” on their national geography exam, given in 2010; educational-testing results today have sunk even further.

I saw one of the simple questions. Only 33% of eighth-graders got it right.

                       

With a student body such as this in the U.S. we certainly don’t get our money’s worth when it applies to education cost. But I do notice

teachers’ unionized pay and benefits are the highest ever.(See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
