Obama Planning On Pardoning Thousands Of Criminals

[nodoginnafight]

With few, if any, exceptions, there's nobody who isn't relatively easily replaceable at some point (if not several points) in their careers with people who are younger, hungrier, and perhaps even a little sharper as well as being cheaper in the process.

I don't have any statistics, and I'm generally not a big fan of anecdotal evidence, but I have never seen a good employee canned for a con off the streets. Have you?

That wasn't my contention, although I can see where I wasn't entirely clear about it. Greater numbers of workers doesn't mean that the people at the bottom will catapult to the top. It means that all through the economy, higher paid workers at all levels of the economy can be replaced with lower paid workers with equivalent backgrounds because it's more of an employers' market.

OK, I'm sorry. I see now.
But should the release be contingent upon economic conditions?

What is a "blanket release"?

What makes you think that each of those imaginary "thousands" being released aren't being thoroughly investigated before release?

the administration said they were going to release everyone who was sentenced under the old guidelines. did they lie again?

They didn't say anything about "everyone".

hmmmmmm - so who was it who lied ?????????

All these anti-capitalist schmucks need to go find the socialist/marxist dream in places like cuba, venezuela or greece... Utopias for downtrodden , illiterate, imbeciles.....

Can you name a nation today that is pure capitalism or even pure socialism? Most industrial nations today are a mixture of capitalism and socialism as is the United States. If your definition of socialism means helping business or people then the US was socialist as soon as the ink was dry on the Constitution as the new nation immediately began helping business.
Did Marx like only one form of socialism, scientific, or all types?

No. I was just making a little joke in the beginning that anything that allowed employers a greater latitude in getting rid of higher paid workers for lower paid workers would be welcome by people who care more about the bottom line than the society as a whole or their employees in general.

Oh - OK. Sorry. I'm obviously pretty slow on the uptick today.
