Labor Day

In honor of the stupidity of large groups of people (not to mention groups of large people–ooops! just did… ), here are a couple of samples of “Wobbly” work:

And,

Note: neither of these make a lot of sense, and not only is the song (lyrics by John Brill) sung by someone who cannot accurately reproduce the tune it’s set to, but a large part of the interesting, contrasting section of the tune is simply missing. Probably because the singer(s) don’t have the musical sensibility or intelligence to appreciate it.

Labor. A good thing, but remember: (at least) half the workforce is on the left side of the bell curve. Many of those join labor unions in order to have other (often equally incompetent or surpassingly corrupt) folks do their thinking for them.

Of course, that doesn’t make labor unions (or their members) any dumber than management often is.

But, Yay Labor Day! Celebrate the fantasy flattening of the bell curve!

  2. The local “bird cage liner” has an editorial page editor with a blog. A few ago, he started a blog with:

    “If the economy works in cycles, then perhaps the fortunes of labor unions also run in cycles, and maybe that cycle is about to turn around again.
    It seems as if conditions are starting to favor a resurgence … .”

    From there it is blah, blah, blah — lost textile jbs, etc.

    My response to his blog and my continued response to anyone who continues to think unions are a “good” thing in today’s world:

    “Nah, labor unions won’t make a significant resurgance. They, like the klan, served a purpose for a very brief time. Today, both unions and the klan will spew and sputter along to death! Both are attempting to remember their glory days, but it will not come again for either. The nation is still better than that.”

    Unions have had their :15!

  3. Heh, indeed they have. Well said, hth.

    How did I spend Labor Day? At an (I think) non-union attraction, Six Flags America, with my kids who were not in school because of their (decidedly union) teachers and administrators… but my wife (an academic who is decidedly non-labor and non-union) was working. Heh, her college gets Columbus Day off though!

    Angel, is your tennis instructor non-union? πŸ˜‰ LOL
