Quote:Kharon, perhaps it is we, the IOS, who have it all wrong? Have a think about the following during your Sunday walk with the dogs.
- Queer marriage; If it is legalised just think about the additional revenue this will bring in? All those weddings will benefit an ailing economy and it will bring in extra tax, GST, stimulate jobs (and I do mean 'stimulate'), increase work for the bridal industry, adult shops and caterers. Brilliant!
- Buggered aviation industry leading to a crash; Brilliant! Think of the extra employment opportunities within CAsA. What about additional training required for pilots (it's always the pilots fault). That will stimulate flight schools, flight simulators, a multitude of additional trainers and instructors, greater hourly aircraft utilisation, more CAsA Inspectors flying around the country and over to Montreal equals more airline seats sold translating into more profits for the airlines and more tax revenue for Malcolm! Brilliant.
- New regulations post accident; again a truly beneficial concept. More bureacratic red tape means more money spent by industry jumping through unnecessary hoops. An endless stream of additional income for Malcolm. Perhaps each and evey aviation ASIC holder will be forced to purchase a 'safety card', a bit like the tradesman card/liscence those poor buggers have to pay for? Say $300 for a plastic card that tells the world you work in an industry that revolves around safety, and that you understand safety! More 'easy' money for the government. Brilliant!
