Let's Rather Focus on Producing Employees We Want
Rodney Johnson | March 21, 2019 | The admissions scandal is starting to fade; I saw only three articles on it in the past couple of days. Now, according to The New York Times, universities are starting to consider if they should de-enroll (not expel) students who matriculated through fraud, whether the students were aware of it or not. As the paper put it, these students "face a reckoning as universities seek to determine whether they were innocent victims who should keep working toward their degrees or unethical schemers worthy of discipline." Ouch. That'll make peer pressure tough in their dorms and classes... I've got a better question. Fraud should be eliminated, and if a kid played a part, kick them out. But for the rest of the involved students, shouldn't we ask if they've been doing their work? The entire situation speaks to a bigger problem. We're so caught up in "fair" that we downplay "competent." With unemployment sitting at or below 4%, this might not sound like much of a problem. If you want a job, you can get a job, almost regardless of your attitude and aptitude. But businesses aren't charities. They don't troll for more donations to keep the doors open. When the economic cycle rolls over in the next year or so, companies will be paring their payrolls to match falling revenue. Less productive, and more troublesome, employees will be the first ones shown the door. And when your kids exit through that door, they can find themselves at your door, which can be a problem.

It's that way for happiness, demographics, productivity, the markets, and even the climate… Democrats keep boarding the presidential hopeful bus, but they all want the same seat… the one all the way to the left. Whatever the topic, make it free, make it angry, and make it a "right." The word socialism is getting new life, as even beer-brewer John Hickenlooper can't bring himself to own the label "capitalist." Back in the real world, we have businesses to run and jobs to do… The happiest people are those living in the coldest climates. The unhappiest are those living in warmer climates. Why? And what impact does that have on economies, across states and countries? Now there's a way you could turn every $1,000 into $10,000… $10,000 into $100,000… or even $100,000 into $1 million… in as little as five years! Groundbreaking new research shows you how one simply flip could hand you 10x profits in five years or less... There is nothing surprising about the college admissions scandal that blew up the news recently. The education system is broken. It has been for decades now. And it's all part of one particular cycle… The Great Depression was a big deal, right? And we've been recovering since the financial and economic crisis at the turn of this century, right? Not so fast. The numbers show that our cumulative GDP over the last 11 years has been slightly WORSE than that during the 11 years between 1929 and 1940. See for yourself… The best temperature modeling came together in the late 1990s and we started tracking temperature with these models in 2000. Since then, only one model has been accurate, and it calls for temperatures to increase modestly over the next 80 years if we do nothing. So, what does that mean for governments and corporations around the world? |
