Protectionism the next Capitalism?

US Prez has said ,companies that outsource cannot use the Stimulus package.Malaysia wants to send 60% of the immigrant workforce back to their homeland in order to provide work for their own work force. This is really a sad state of affairs for countries that depends on sending workers out to earn their bread :(.

Dubai is sending all of its construction workforce back, mostly Indians & Nepalese cos most of the construction work has stopped due to the economic downturn. So it is like the developed countries have used us when they needed the help and now chugging us down the drain once the work is complete. It feels like dusting the dirt of the shirt.

Are their actions correct? Can some one tell me!! The situation seems like one big bucket of quick sand. The more you struggle, the more you drown yourselves and you pull everyone near & dear along with you.

Blame the guys @ the banks for blowing hot air into balloons without knowing its limits. Punks! But finally it trickles down to our greed to earn money without hardwork which seems to be the fundamental reason and that is something no one can argue about.

There is no work like hardwork, it may pay in cents but is surely stronger than a dollar note.

Cowardice to my heart!

Back in India,while I was working, me and my fnd went out for booze and dinner after work about 12AM.It had been a hectic week at the office and we needed to chill out so we hung out and while we were having dinner inside the restaurant a person comes to me and says ,I have two rupees and I need one more rupee to buy a cup of coffee."I want one rupee", This is what he said.Me as usual got pissed whenever someone commanded me without authority and said "no change with me" so told him to buzz off. He just left the remaining two rupees on the table and sat in the next table.My fnd said don't look at him,cos if u interact they would try to exacerbate the situation.After a few verbal arguments ,my fnd turned around and asked him what is that he wants?

He explains that he has not eaten for the entire day and all he needs is one rupee for the coffee to fill his stomach.My fnd buys him a full dinner. I did not expect it turn like this.My fnd by doing this makes him content may be for that day but he would surely remember that for the rest of his life.

Now,Why was I acting like that? Was it my ego? or my cowardice not to get involved in anything that I cannot control or comprehend ? Now recollecting on those events make me realize the coward that I am. This is not about the testosterone running with my blood ,it is about the emotional state of my mind,fragile,ignorant and unwilling to break from routine of the world around me.Given a chance I would like to correct that acts of cowardice on my part.

Bravo my fnd,you stand as an argument for my change!
