GEBE wants 10% salary increase

In normal companies and normal societies, a normal yearly increase is in the range of 2 to 4% with the latter being extremely high. Other companies give an increase based on the cost of living increase.
Things have definitely increase in cost over the past 3 years but I don't think a total assessment of the cost of living was 25%. GEBE i accused of some over the top profits but if the union gets through with this increase, this will seriously cut into the profits or .................. GEBE bills will increase.

Republican Meeting

For those of you that pay attention to US politics, read on. The Conservatives had a meeting that was well covered by the media, and here are some things that caught my attention.
1. The Republicans still can't come up with a different idea on how to solve the problems the US is facing right now.
2. Republicans have the ostrich mentality which says if you stick your head in the sand long enough the problem will go away.
3. The best speaker at the conference was a 13 year old boy.
4. Republicans keep talking about Reagan as being a hero and claim they need a hero like Reagan. Is this the same Reagan who claimed that trees, yes TREES, add more carbon dioxide to the environment and by all accounts was going senile pretty much from the beginning of his second term. Good hero Republicans, a man whose brain activity left him and who thought trees added to our pollution.
