just listening to the noon news, and wondering- as the private sector has done such an abysmal job with both the auto industry and with finance, instead of making workers and the general public suffer still further, why doesn't parliament/congress accept the reality that the private corps are bankrupt and take them over and do it properly?
sorry as i'm not too well informed on these things... there surely is a way governments across borders can work together to arrange these kinds of things; they seem to spend an awful lot of time wringing their hands over the situation, and making the situation worse for ordinary people.
anyway, just sharing some thoughts of the moment.
