That&#...<i>Job Guarantee - not on the table</i> Peter Pan<br /><br />That's a positive, not a negative since paying people to waste their time doesn't do anyone good.<br /><br />I recall reading about an experiment at a German concentration camp after an Allied raid had destroyed the camp's ability to make rocket (V-2?) fuel:<br /><br />Week 1: The inmates were ordered to move the rubble to the other side of the camp.<br />Week 2: They were ordered to move it back.<br />Week 3: Move it to the other side again. (grumbles of "Stupid Germans can't make up their minds").<br />Week 4: They were ordered to move it back again.<br />Week 5 ...<br /><br />Soon many of the prisoners went mad and charged the fences to be shot down.<br /><br />The moral of the story is that people would rather do useful work for their enemies than waste their time.Andrew Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296407661618321637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-68306827342684341452020-09-16T09:23:08.690-04:002020-09-16T09:23:08.690-04:00All I see is noise on trade with China.
