checking: A few years ago the people in charge of investing money from the Heritage Trust Fund lost billions of dollars but instead being FIRED they go very generous bonuses...its the ALBERTA government's way of conducting its business apparently. Hard to believe that they have been in power for the last forty freakin years.

The educated elite, in bith government and the
private sector, have provided continuous reckless
leadership, offen driven soley by self interest, and
a vision lacking wisdom.
In agriculture, the Canadian government borrows
money to provide grant money for research to
produce more and more and more of the
unaffordable for the buyers who borrow to buy.
Farmers borrow more and more $ so they can
produce more of the unaffordable, yes we do, as
well as fund research to grow more bushels.

Bankruptcy has become a routine tool to
abandon responsibility. Self-reliance is derided in
order to justify begging to government.
Governments and industry apply their well used
tactic of pitting farmers one against the other
In the 30's, it was the taxes that got farmers by
the throat. So many of them walked away from
their farms, I'm told.
Have we learned anything at all from the past?

Wilagro.

Rewarding the titled "expert" economist is as you say, and one of the conclusions of this particular program.
Chimps throwing darts at charts to pick winners performed better than experts. Street cleaners made better picks than experts. Yet we flock to experts for their use of a forty word vocabulary that the public chumps don't use in their working lives. Experts are all showmanship, dressed to the part, blinged up, and displayers and users of all things we consider that represent success. Apparently, it also helps if the expert is tall. Parsley, is your friend tall! (lol)

Is there correlation between size and wisdom? I
realize P.E.T. was short and wore sandals and
snazzy ties, but he had Cuba-vision which
inevitably results in doling out daily bean rations.
But then Schwartzenagger is a tall governor who
exhibits the wisdom of a turkey on steroids. Are
you an Arnie or a Pierre, checking? lol. Pars
