Actualy spain is on the fore front of solar and wind technolgy. Most of south america utilities/banks/oil/infrastucture are backed by spanish money. I know more than a few engineers who can only get jobs in tourism/retail, great way to plan for the future.
give up , MM.. They all went to brainwashing/propaganda school and got their MBAs. It is like a robot took over the brains and just puppet the usual speeches.
i had no idea any ideas,inventions, and technology actually came out of spain (or most of europe for that matter). how can there possibly be a “brain drain” happening there? europe has been one giant intellectual vacuum for hundreds of years now.
Unions are one reason spain’s uneployment is so high for young people. Because they can’t fire anyone they’ve created a two tiered system where new workers are hired at a pittance to established workers but they are the first to get laid off. Once again young spanairds with ideas are leaving and a brain drain is happening again.
MM, you’re right, both union and non-union workers abuse the system and many of them on both sides deserve to get fired. The problem is, as we see with the rubber rooms and countless other examples, YOU CAN’T JUST FIRE A UNION WORKER.
And therein lies the real abuse. Nonunion employees are let go at the drop of a hat when there’s cause.
Additionally, union workers threaten to strike if anyone dare speaks of cutting their benefits, WHICH ESSENTAILLY ALL OF THE REST OF AMERICA HAS HAD CUT.
Like with Southwest, maybe these union members would also make above average wages if they weren’t unionized, worked for a company and had the same incentives as management does.
Rob – you should get out more. Or read more. Just sayin’

Dibs – Moron is verboten too – it’s a real classification. And PETA will get you for demeaning jackasses.
Pete, we all had special beer that we drank at happy hour on friday when we were in MBA school.

Maybe Sarah palin is right. I would never think of calling anyone on here “retarded.” I far more like “asshole,” “jackass” and moron.
