Thomas is one of our best political journoes but equally he could have been writing about say the Police, and most other sectors of society.
Here’s a quick solution to this perceived staff shortage problem.
Just as the world has woken to the problem with school children, ban bloody smart phones and suddenly the perceived personnel shortage will vanish.
The first nation to prohibit them in schools was France, since when most other countries have come to their senses and followed suit. However, France should not stop there and recognise this addiction is not confined to teenage girls but nearly everyone, everywhere.
Take their police. Outside my Parisian home, day and night lurk half a dozen machine-gun bearing, large black clad gendarmes.
They’re there supposedly to protect the Prime Minister’s Palace across the road. In fact whenever I emerge they never even look up from their total devotion to gazing and prodding at their ironically labelled smart phones, these in my view, inadvertently the greatest dumbing down device ever invented.
Does this nonsense go on with nurses and doctors? I don’t know but suspect their job pressures probably minimalises it in which event the medical staff shortage is real.
On my observation it’s most rife with road repairs and the building industry.
All of our remarkable human history of steadfast progress can be traced to a single behaviour, namely thinking. Gazing at and prodding at a so called smart phone is anything but.
It’s an amazing invention but its unforeseen addiction consequences are bearing a huge cost for outweighing its benefits.
