As proof of this workers from outside Goa are flooding in to take the jobs that are available. It is instructive that both you and Cornel are examples of improving your credentials and mobility. Yet, like true socialist elites, you think that the taxi drivers in Goa are incapable because they are poor. Instead of suggesting ways to help these poor taxi drivers improve their skills, you choose to demand protectionist regulations and other rules to be imposed on employers. > Such thinking has resulted in massive economic stagnation among several European countries, in the past it resulted in massive economic stagnation in India, until Manmohan Singh appeared on the scene and began to free up India's stultified economy. > _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
