On the other hand,Lonesome, business is never backward in looking to government for mone, halp and everything - even banks!! Just look what's been happening there both sides of the pond lately.

How many companies rely on government for business, contracts (arms industry; defence contracts; consultancies;computer companies; government suppliers; et cetera), grants (like relocation ones), subsidy (rail, farmers).

I mean it goes on and on the list does of how many are looking to government for business and money while simultaneously telling everyone 'we need to get the govenment off our back'.

And presumably onto someone else's.


Business wants people(i.e. workers) to buy their products and services, and simultaneously see working people (i.e. staff) as a cost; and a cost to be held down.


I repeat the song lyric

Somethings gotta give

Somethings gotta give

Somethings gotta giiiiiiiive.
