The Wyckoff Rant: Individualism, Casey Anthony and Unemployment

  
  
  
  
  

In this edition of The Wyckoff Rant, Frank addresses American individualism, the Casey Anthony trial and how this relates to the unemployment system.

 

Comments

Frank, I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. No one wants to take responsibility for their own work or actions anymore. It's sad that business owners are financially impacted by the actions of others.

Being involved with unemployment I see exactly what you are talking about. How hard is it to win an unemployment case when the state pays out thousands of dollars and the unemployment hearing doesn’t come up for a year or two. Where is the state most likely going to get the money from, the employee who received four or five thousand dollars or the employer who is paying high unemployment rates in the first place.  
 
Probably said to much already. Thanks for letting me vent.

Frank, I found it very interesting how you connected the dots between what I originally thought were three seemingly unrelated topics. I also really like the video format! Looks great!

Frank. It's not the job of our jury system to be arbiters of common sense. 
 
The 'beyond reasonable doubt' provision exists to protect the large number of innocent people who would surely be found guilty if 'common sense' were the standard. 
 
There's no doubt that Casey Anthony is guilty of all sorts of unsavory behavior. But it was not proven beyond all reasonable doubt that she murdered her child.  
 
In fact it wasn't even proven beyond all reasonable doubt that her child was murdered! 
 
I'm all in favor of independence. And that's why I appreciate that our legal system is biased towards protecting the rights of the innocent.

I don't think that Frank's usage of the Casey Anthony trial was meant to be taken 100% literally from a legal point of view. 
 
What I took from this is that there seems to be an unfortunate shift in American values where people don't want to work hard and take individual responsibility for themselves anymore. There are so many people who are taking advantage of the average hardworking American worker. From a business perspective, I think Frank was spot on when he was talking about unemployment benefits at the end. That's an issue that's crushing a lot of business owners right now. 
 
This is a widespread problem in today's society. I think the Casey Anthony trial was just an example of someone who got away from having to face the consequences of his or her own personal actions. I don't think it was supposed to be taken from a legal perspective, as opposed to a moral perspective.

By all means, they look dangerously comfy,uggs sale, that I wouldn’t be surprised if you caught me accidentally walking down to belstaff jacket. Even so, I am feeling stress-fully torn between my belstaff jackets for comfort and their link to my Grandmother’s ugg canada. Surely, if I pop these on it doesn’t mean I’ve crossed the line between stylish and uggs sale? As long as Countryfile isn’t on that ugg canada.Perhaps it’s just my own irrational fear of picturing these slippers with ugg classic tall? If, however, these luxurious bailey button ugg were teamed with your favourite check pyjama trousers and an oversized t-shirt ugg bailey button, and accessorized with some bailey button uggs then I reckon we’d have an indoor-shoe winner.clw820

giubbotti moncler speeded up the growth in several Olympic games. Because of the special designs, outlet moncler was noticed by the official supporters of the 10th French national Olympic held in Grenoble in 1968. Then monclear was the rooster design trademark of France’s logo in next many years. In the winter games, moncler women proved themselves to be excellently suitable for skiing. Their designs of the monclear outlet were not too thick for athletes in the skiing but make the muscles to keep warm for each movement. Thus giubotti created the first skiing windbreak and clothing. It was named “Nepal”, because there are two waterproof cortical shoulder pads for the skiers to put in his shoulder Cornwall equipment rentals.After these, moncler giubbotti saw the potential great success in winter jacket. In moncler jackets women series, moncler branson are worth of being introduced to us with outstanding characters.
