Yeah, I think the skateboarder makes it "work", too. Still hard to
believe that University was that empty on a Friday afternoon.
One of the economic effects of this G20 conference that no one's
talking about is all the lost productivity of the workers who were
given a paid day or two off by their employers. I'm sure the number
of workdays lost must be in the tens or hundreds of thousands.
I know that messengers, the majority of whom are on straight
commission made next to nothing yesterday, with several hours of
standby time. I'm one of the fortunate ones who gets paid by the day,
so I was okay.
When one gets to that level of international meeting, no one really cares
about workers and their situations. Their thinking is far too abstract to
worry about the little people that they affect.
