Comment on No bailout for you by Steve K David

The unionized labor of the autoworkers isn’t doing their best to try and help the situation either.Oh, one more thing, the automotive industry is not in control. A lot of what it is dealing with is a result of the misadventures of the financial industry. Cash has dried up and would be buyers can’t get loans. Thus, I think the hope is that getting the financial industry back on their feet and stabilizing the automotive industry will in turn help to right the economy. Money and cash will return and consumers will return to purchasing vehicles.

I seriously doubt I can run a 10 minute mile today… Give me a few days warming up running up and down the hill with the dogs and we’ll see… about ONE 10 minute mile. Good luck on your quest for the 260 minute marathon!

Had to post since I called for the blog entry.

Woohoo.

I can totally relate to that guy. Of course, as you said, speed is relative.

I think I may be the only one keeping this afloat, but Canada just gave the Big 3 $3.29 billion in aid as well.

And speaking of unions (okay so not really), albeit a different topic from the bailout, what’s the deal with Hawaii’s teachers? I mean c’mon, take the drug tests. Either that or go work in the private sector and get drug tested anyway.

That invasion of privacy excuse really gets to me. Show me one instance of where the testing was released unfairly or accidentally. Show me how taking the test or the results of them affected anyone in a negative manner when the results were negative. Show me how this does anything but attempt to keep our classrooms safer and the education more productive. Show me how “teachers” accepting responsibility and being an example for our children is a worse idea than telling our children to hide what they can.

HSTA saying that drug testing isn’t going to improve test scores and the issue is a distraction from how to make schools better is full of crap. If you remove a teacher who is on drugs, then it IS going to have a positive impact on students as well as their potential to perform better. And it’s only a distraction because the union is making it one. The goal is to improve the performance and safety of the educational and school communities.

Arghhh!!!
