They can't seem to agree on how to measure it so they ignore it.  It is easy to count pennies but how can you count up the role of parenting and caregivers.  You can count up the cost of pennies that it takes to provide education but you can't measure in pennies the actual return and growth of those pennies on a bottom line. They can count the war planes that they make and add penny values to that but they can't count knowledge and add penny values to that. It is a very short sighted value system.  They want their pennies to be the most important pennies. Only when society assigns a penny value to their carbon pollution they fight to protect their over valued product they sell for pennies. In other words what I am saying is they over value the things that they can count and undervalue or ignore the things they can not count on a bottom line. This short sightedness is leading to failure. </p> </div></div></div> Sun, 29 Jun 2014 20:24:14 +0000 trkingmomoe comment 197039 at http://dagblog.com Well then, I am going to fix http://dagblog.com/comment/196969#comment-196969 <a id="comment-196969"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/196968#comment-196968">I was about to say that</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Well then, I am going to fix that!</p> </div></div></div> Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:06:40 +0000 Michael Maiello comment 196969 at http://dagblog.com I was about to say that http://dagblog.com/comment/196968#comment-196968 <a id="comment-196968"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/politics/how-domestic-policy-people-think-part-i-18663">How Domestic Policy People Think, Part I</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I was about to say that you've written nothing in here to disagree with, so don't expect many comments, but then I see you carefully misspelled "buy" as "by" in your opening lede just to draw out those who like to complain about spelling. <img alt="wink" height="20" src="http://dagblog.com/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.gif" title="wink" width="20" /></p> </div></div></div> Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:10:29 +0000 Verified Atheist comment 196968 at http://dagblog.com
