Dear All There have been numerous threatening moves made by the supporting legions of Ignoranti, trying to put the fear of God into the IT industry, since 2008-2009, when the MoneyBags decided, finally, and completely, to impoverish us all, by winding down the White ( Production ) economy, in order finally to substitute fot it, the Black ( Criminal) one ..
It's simply a key part of the ongoing programme of " squeeze the masses, feed the results to Greed_&_Money Inc. " For sheer cheek, the latest pronouncement is hard to beat: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/cio-insights/it-departments-warned-evolve-or-die/39749435?tag=nl.e019&s_cid=e019 My comment: *Who's irrelevant ? * l.kobiernicki@... <http://www.techrepublic.com/members/profile/5190793> less than a minute ago Just let 'em try getting their work done & dusted without us. Then we'll soon see who's needed, and why. As for all these bums-on-seats healthcare pros, in whose interests it remains, for people to get/remain sick, & to be medicated up to their eyeballs, they're not aiding healing: far from it ! They're part of a keeping-us-all-ill industry, feeding us inorganics, which we can't digest, but which maintains the cash flows of the allopaths. Increasingly, the big batallions ( MNCs, international NGOs, & all the other dinosaurs ) prove themselves not only unnecessary, but parasitical on the people co-opted to service them ( eg. IT, secretaries, & all those others impressed into their service ). What's needed is a purge of all the freeloaders, jargon-munchers, & other parasites gobbling up all the goodies they can, while the poor people struggle & fail. Without IT, they're dead in the water. Don't try to frighten us; we're onto you: we've understood what your priorities are. When did you last do something useful, necessary, absolutely crucial ? IT keeps this whole juggernaut rolling. When you limber up to fire us, the whole awful momentum slows, and your end approaches that much sooner. Get real. We don't need you. YOU need US ! Without us, you can't continue to spout your guff, threaten, and otherwise attitudinize. Without our support, you'd just be a lone fantasist, dreaming power. ********************************************************************************************** Sorry, but this Essex County Council CIO David Wilde, really got my goat. I spent years servicing the monoliths ( government, multinationals etc. ), only to be threatened into fearfulness with the loss of a job. Stuff 'em ! And mount 'em in a Museum of Obsoletes/Unnecessaries .. End_Products nobody wants, or needs Lesz -- " The power of this life, if men will open their hearts to it, will heal them, will create them anew, physically and spiritually. Here is the gospel of earth, ringing with hope, like May mornings with bird-song, fresh and healthy as fields of young grain. But those who would be healed must absorb it not only into their bodies in daily food and warmth but into their minds, because its spiritual power is more intense. It is not reasonable to suppose that an essence so divine and mysterious as life can be confined to material things; therefore, if our bodies need to be in touch with it so do our minds. The joy of a spring day revives a man's spirit, reacting healthily on the bone and the blood, just as the wholesome juices of plants cleanse the body, reacting on the mind. Let us join in the abundant sacrament--for our bodies the crushed gold of harvest and ripe vine-clusters, for our souls the purple fruit of evening with its innumerable seed of stars ". Vis Medicatrix Naturae, by Mary Webb, in Spring of Joy: Nature Essays, Constable, London, 1917 "
