#1 ....cannot get the work they want

The CEO position at CSX or Norfolk Southern will soon become open and I'll get the call. Until then, I'm sitting on my arse.

#2 There should be no immigration of anyone on lower than median wages.

#3 What is for certain is that (middle class tax) subsidized migrants drive down the wage bills and increase the rents of indigenous citizens.

It's a part of the welfare state for the establishment. Central bank manipulation of lower interest rates and frankly ludicrous official inflation figures is another.

#5 Re: #1: That's funny, B; CSX is in the midst of shedding jobs, idling engines and rolling stock in an effort to maintain the façade of Precision Scheduled Railroading. Meanwhile the other 6 Class 1's and the Canadian counterparts cannot find enough staff or motive power to keep up w/ demand. Why you would almost think the CSX was being run by Obama.....

I think he knows that and was just being ironically facetious. But I don't know squat about the railroad industry.

Somewhat on-topic, I recently rode a couple trains in Sri Lanka. I could write a whole novel about the experience. But I won't. You are welcome.

#7 Why you would almost think the CSX was being run by Obama.....

Guess the Bill Gates support payments have run out.
