JOBS

Let me ruminate on this subject while I am enjoying my awesome Margarita (as in a wonderfully stimulating beverage combining the alcoholic elements from fermented cactus and a sweet lime based additive).

The news business has found another idle topic to ramble about. Jobs! This word has taken the form of a noun, a verb, an adjective (as in jobless recovery); and largely media fodder to strum their broken guitar when nothing else seems to be available to publish.

Root cause for any situation that people face is ultimately tracable to supply and demand. If people wanted jobs they would figure out a way to get themselves the resources they needed to become eligible for aforementioned job. In the absence of access to said resource they would be jobless.

Admittedly the availability of resources is not uniform and hence there is a net migration of people to places and locations that are rich in the supply side i.e. availability of jobs. The latter again is a function of an enterprise seeking an opportunity to expand its footprint by establishing a symbiotic relationship with the available labor pool.

Many evils like joblessness also stem from the humans (H in the HR) being simply lazy and incompetent as to not be skilled to manage the available opportunities. Uneducated masses is a curse for any nation on this planet and each major republic or nation on the face of this earth has their share. The nation's overall standing in terms of wealth generated, health and well being of its people are consequently a function of its individual and collective (which at the end of the day equates to individuals or citizens of that nation) population's intellect and enterprise.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe.
