I parked at 07:07 hrs today (08 February) at Wakefield Kirkgate train station. The parking meter swallowed up my £2 coin but didn't issue parking ticket. Please ensure that you do not issue any penalty - thanks.

Why oral health priority goes mental beneath?
No organized lobbying, so not much teeth.
Needs government issued rule/ shilling,
To incentivise dentists to render filling! https://t.co/Di5RoSEUXW

Whatever industry, tis just the same -
O'er the ages, O what a shame!
Market power, market share or sheer growth
One of many a firm's unwritten oath,
To have regulator examine, such a pity:
Comes great power with great responsibility!

To return home safe, workers ought -
Not injured at work, nor be shot.
What transpires - don't make sense.
Add lack of control, power imbalance -
Meaning, missing puzzle pieces give,
& place the tragedy in perspective.

While entrepreneurs reap profits big,
Workers toil hard to keep their gig.
Add punitive alleged customer care,
Captive employee's worst nightmare...
When workers want a better lot,
Via their unions, a strike they plot!

In manufacturing/service sector,
Its not uncommon to workers hector.
Creating paperwork to misdeeds conceal,
Might make perps secure feel.
But customers can't innocence feign,
About abuse down their supply chain.

Market power is such a pity -
When your boss acts with impunity,
To have a career and a living earn,
What tricks you have to daily turn,
Each day ahead, approach with dread,
Only to keep a roof o'er your head!

#ForBetterOrVerse
Of working conditions tis the sum, 
To achieve perverse outcome, 
One's supervisor, overseer
Is empowered to instill fear.
Upon inquiry you'l find
Physical means isn't the only kind,  
Under economic duress morals fly,
And coerced worker will comply.

[Dr Arun Chind, Labor Economist @LaborEconomist]

#ForBetterOrVerse
To turn a blind eye is it fine,
When exploitation occurs further down the line?
Share benefits but not the shame
Are end consumers any less to blame?
Should they not products/services refuse
When workers are subject to labor abuse? https://t.co/8KaWOPMoa5

Normative Notions

Has policy evaluation taken a dive?
#IsBritishEconomicsStillAlive?
When carriage loses people at the wheels,
And economy, dire effect feels,
No government should its duty shun:
Market failure needs intervention!

#ForBetterOrVerse
Despite laws manifold ranged around,
Toxic workplaces do much abound.
It happens too often to try to hide -
Eyeing profits, what bosses decide:
'Worker, the job, pay, abuse, its your lot..
The client pays, it's what they bought!'

A song from 1998, goes, quite exciting..
That 'everybody was kung-fu fighting..'
By fisticuffs and scream of mouth,
The art went beyond equator, south.
Singing 'everybody' is quite exaggerated, so -
Oh, ho ho ho...

For those retiring, ain't loss to speak ill
Of a job they'd done, did need no skill
Whether newsreading'll remain topic moot,
If tis a mere job for articulated suit
For those who their capital monetize
It sure don't help when others minimize!

Ahead at any cost, that's the mission -
This time, tho' for college admission.
Grade inflation/sports certification..
New thing there n'er be beneath the sun!

Claim high moral ground, that is how,
To proclaim to all how holy art thou,
No better way to announce you've arrived,
Than weave a tale, however contrived
Tis theme enduring long standing of age -
To proffer lame reason to pay a low wage. https://t.co/AZtW1KjVSI

For gobblers at dinner it'll be uppermost -
Not far in future is traditional roast.
For firms, before Christmas, migrant labour's key
October's nigh - so talk turkey!

@jmwooldridge Hi Jeff, I am not much of a singer but we could collaborate on #PrimeRhyme where I tweet on themes of economics as @LaborEconomist. Let me know if you or anyone you know might be interested. Arun

#PrimeRhyme

No one acknowledges, it's such a pity -
Sans empowerment, there isn't integrity.
Tis wholly naive for regulator to assume
That integrity could exist in moral vacuum..
Tis relevant to state and to put it, mild,
It takes but a village to raise a child!

#PRIMERHYME

The Temporary Worker Program (TMP)

Economic forces at play do much reveal,
When hard work to natives does not appeal.
And hard work, the natives successfully shirk,
Hard up migrants submit to the harness of work.
