But no harm, no foul. After cooking a good batch of jambalaya I’m pretty deep in the bourbon now. Having to read my post word for word to insure accuracy!

I disagree Business schools can do the job. Or rather desire to do the job. Maybe things have changed in the 35 years since I went to university, but back then labor cost was seen as a bad thing. And as a science major I only took 4 economic classes.

Only workers and unions can significantly raise pay. And apparently a pandemic! Which is ironic because the Black Death ended surfs in England. Their labor was too valuable!

I think the younger generations are not going to put up with the BS I did when a kid
