If you look at how Eskom works then you will find that government controlled economics has been around longer than most of us. Right now Eskom’s higher management is earning millions and the workers that keep everything running is wondering why that is? What makes them so important?

The truth is Eskom can function if some of those managers lose their jobs. But how long can a power station function without skilled labour? I will not pretend to understand economics because I feel that all of us have a right to life. The economic super powers on the other hand deemed it ok for 2% of the world population to be entitled to 98% of the world’s earnings per year.

I say if "they" want it all!! Then let them have it. Soon skilled labour will be none existent and then there happy little world will slowly fall apart. There are no training facilities to aid the young and old. There is no investment from Eskom into the general public. The same is true with the Telecommunications industry. These industries are all directly or indirectly controlled by government, and it always was.

See in the end Government and Supper corporations will take so much from the normal working person that he/she will have nothing to lose...

And do you know what is true when you have nothing to lose?

Simple, if you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain. I honestly think that economics and convergent has forgotten this little fact.
