American Practices

Someday I am going to make a Complaint about the favoritism shown Our grandchildren in their higher Education. I would have liked a Ranch-based MBA, if it had been heard of at the time of my formal education. The Program at Texas A&M, though, may well even miss the boat; future Ranch Managers may have to understand how to get Two Cuttings of Specialty Hay for Ethanol production, with the rendered mash returned to Ranch Feedlots integrated with Ranches. I know for a fact they will also lose another potential High Gain potential for modern Ranching, if the Program does not include Management of an integrated Transportation network for their Product; the modern Ranch hand must be a licensed Commercial Driver to gain consistent employment, and Ranch mechanic facilities must match most Private Sector Services. It is in these areas that the real Profitability of Stock-Feeding appear.

Thomas Friedman hit the Nail on the Head with this Opinion, even though We are in the Age of Nail Guns. It is also the Problem of China, who is using cheaper, out-of-date technology to attain the growth Communist leadership must introduce to retain control of China. Perhaps the greatest factor in China stands as the necessary growth of Employment Rolls. Communist leadership can produce Red Guards or Jobs, with little flexibility between the extremes. Both Public and Private Sectors are stressed in this Country to absorb the yearly Graduating classes in the United States; China wishes it had only to deal with the American Problem. Do not entertain feelings of superiority as Americans, as We have real Capital-Stocking issues, and a tendency towards Corporate fascism.

Here is a Post with great relevance and little Point. Canada does get better medical results for less Money, and with more universal subscription of medical services. The actual Dividing line between the two systems is not really the quality of health care, but the Profits distribution system between the two Countries. Canada considered Health Care to be a Public Sector function with only a minimal system of Profitability within the sector, sufficient to cover Expenses. Canada imposes the constraint that all medical facilities be fully employed through maximized Patient loads. The American health care system would maximize the Profitability of the sector, with excess Pricing and less utilization of medical facilities due to the high Pricing. We are actually talking Apples and Oranges here. Canada wants maximized health Coverage, the United States wants maximized Profits margins; Canada get universal Health Care, the United States gets bloated medical salaries, extreme Drug Profits, and half the Population unable to afford Health Care. What I don't understand is how Waiting Room Times are longer in the United States. lgl
