London falling
Well, apparently the terrorists were stymied.
The Olypiad closed out with almost 70 year old Roger Daltry singing about his generation.
His generation has done alright. It’s today’s generation we should be a little more concerned about.
Here’s a story about youth unemployment in Britain from today’s Daily Mail. While Britain has record unemployment, British employers are busier than ever recruiting – offshore!
Romania is the source du jour for cheap labor these days. It’s the way of the future. Bring in the foreign workers, pay them less, they’re pliable and aren’t likely to want to organize unions, and if they do, well, sack the sods!
The exercise is also a valuable reminder to the locals that they’d best not get too uppity.
Workers of the world, be warned! There are lots of other workers in the world willing to do your job for less.
The forces of capital will level that playing field sooner or later, and then we can all make do with a Bangladeshi pay packet…
Oh wait, I hear the Haitians will work for even less!
So it was a great closing ceremony. I thrilled to the sight of millionaire super-models being whisked about in Bentleys.
By the way, if the average Haitian laborer saves all his money and doesn’t squander it on drink and feeding his family, he should be able to buy one of those Bentley drop-tops in about 537 years.
