mercedo's Journal: Cheap Cheaper Cheapest

I finished working at 2:30 am tonight. On my way back home I dropped in at the 24 hour supermarket called 'Sunny', I came here to buy a bottle of red wine, abruptly I recalled I have no whiskeys left so instead of buying a red wine, I bought Johnnie Walker. I mean it's not a black label but a red label, cheaper one.

When I was late 20's I would often enjoy the black label, Johnnie Walker, now I'm in the middle of forties, I am supposed to enjoy more expensive one, not a cheaper one. But the fact is I enjoy the red label.

Ah, cheap, cheaper, cheapest my life is! Not limited in the case of Johnnie Walker, but also Four Roses too, I used to enjoy higher class than now I have. Ah, the days are gone.

I haven't fallen into having 'toris' which is the cheapest whiskey made in Japan.

The problem with this equation

Is that you often pay in other ways. In the case of wine, the cheaper the wine the lower the fermentation, the more sugar is left and the bigger chance it will cause a hangover. In the case of foreign imports, it's amazing where the money goes for the cheapest stuff- and the reasons why those imports are so cheap.

A Matter of Poverty

One of my colleageus, age 38, is going to leave our office soon. He's married and got two kids aged 5 or 6. He has to move to another section in another premises in a different town. This is a substansial work cut.

This is a restructuring of the company, but it is for him a restructuring of his life. He is not the only one. One after another, a worker is leaving our workplace with a little hope to spend money a lot for wine.

And that's only the latest- the ripple effect of the race to the bottom has been going on for 40 years now. It started in the vinyards where your cheap wine is grown- and was fought by Ceaser Chaverez, the great migrant worker union maker. His unions were quickly busted by the US Government ending any sort of border and immigration enforcement on the southern border- hoards of illegal immigrants streamed in to pick the crops whenever a union tried to strike. That was the begining of the end of unionized

First of all, I am in favour of restructuring, lay-off, work cut, sucking whatever the term for it, many people includig me tend to describe the restructuring as something ending up to the personal mishap, workers with a lot of expertises lose way to go once they were forced to get out of their job. It is true and sometimes it is cruel for them who were restuctured to start seeking for another position or another job one day all at once.

I'm not so sure that the restructuring is an advancement, especially when it sacrifices long-term progress in favor of short term profit. In fact, if anything, it's a luddite act in and of itself- destroying what is proven to work in hopes of creating something that will only work for a very short term.

The answer, should you choose to accept it and if you're elected, is regulation of the stock markets. There should be a 3 year ban on selling stock once purchased. This is enough to keep investors looking

I was about to mention , that I wouldn't touch a bottle of Johnny Walkers heh , but then I have to have either a Highland or Speyside 12 year single malt at the least
As for wine , Cheap white is OK , Cheap red is a death sentence carried out every morning after drinking it.
I do enjoy a good Merlot or Chianti , but i avoid the cheap less well produced wines nowadays, as I'm fed up of awful hangovers . After a half bottle of Chianti I generally wake up the next morning feeling great (possibly to do with the

Cheap Wine

Black label itself is not a expensive one -$25, red label costs $15. 'Toris' is $7. That's why I titled 'cheap, cheaper, cheapest.'

I never tasted expensive one -Old Parr or the whiskies you mentioned above though they must be good, when I got rich enough to buy these high class whiskies, I would like to taste them.

About five years ago, I had been relationship with a rich woman, whose age was four year senior to me. Our relationship lasted for two years. For me it was exceptionally long and I wanted to marry
