Numbskull Teachers,policemen,politicians,firemen and nurses are essential services. They most probably run at a loss. Unfortuneately we are not immune and included in this list. If our business is run at a loss we will be run out of business. Just think Ansett.
Of course they run at a loss. They are public services.
They are paid for by the public.
Qantas isn't run at a loss. On the contrary, it is run at a good profit. Reason being, is they keep screwing our wages down not by running more efficiently. Poor management is disguised by keeping wages lower than they should be.
Vincent's efficient management saved Ansett, didn't it.
