Generation Jobless
GENERATION JOBLESS delves into why so many young Canadians are overeducated and underemployed. The reality is that today's twenty-something's are entering an economy in the throes of a seismic shift where globalization and technology are transforming the workplace. Automation is replacing tens of thousands of jobs at a time. Companies fixated on the bottom line are outsourcing jobs and wherever possible getting computers to do the work. Employers are placing a higher premium on experienced workers, unwilling to invest in training new entrants to the workforce. So, young people are caught in a catch 22. How do you get experience if no one will hire you without it? Many are working for free as unpaid interns, just to try and get their foot in the door. And, for the first time in history youth are facing another unique challenge – competition with their parents' generation for the small pool of jobs that do exist. Boomers who are delaying retirement.
By all accounts the problem is only going to get worse. Especially since the key players in Canada –universities, employers and governments – are not working together to find a solution. Canada is the only country in the world without a national body responsible for education and is seen as one of the most decentralized and fragmented countries in the world when it comes to helping young people make a smooth entry into the world of work. Several experts weigh in on what many are calling the most important social issue of our time – including Francis Fong, TD Bank Economist and author of the report The Plight of Younger Workers that paints a bleak picture of youth employment in Canada; Armine Yalnizyan Sr. Economist, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives who has been tracking trends in the labour market for two decades; and Dr. Paul Cappon, former head of the Canadian Council on Learning a research and advocacy program focused on learning in Canada; The documentary takes viewers to Switzerland where the youth unemployment rate is 2.8% - the lowest in the developed world. Here the idea of young people graduating with degrees and unable to find jobs is virtually unheard of. Dr. Stefan Wolter, Director of the Coordination Centre For Research In Education, explains how all levels of government, educators and employers, work together to ensure that education and training are linked to employment. ----------------------- Is less than an hour long. Well worth watching. Very applicable to what is happening in the USA as well.

Rolling Stone: Stories from the Edge
Great documentary that I watched last night on HBO:
"Rolling Stone: Stories From the Edge chronicles the last 50 years of American music, politics and popular culture through the perspective of a magazine that understood rock ‘n’ roll was more than music — it was a cultural force that helped shape America and defined generations." It really bummed me out to find out that Jann Wenner and his son Gus have put it up for sale. Due to the internet and people not reading newspapers or magazine hard copies much anymore, sales have plummeted. They previously had sold 49% but had retained controlling interest. https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/ro...-from-the-edge https://www.hbo.com/content/hboweb/e.../synopsis.html

Secret State - Inside North Korea
My favorite part is when the tour guide describes Kim Jong Un's "mystical birth" during which he changed the weather and a special star appeared in the sky. Those poor people. Grateful to be an American. Thank you veterans and Happy Veteran's Day!:usa |

Take back your power
Utilities around the world are racing to install smart utility meters, which are emerging as anything but smart. This documentary uncovers shocking evidence of in-home privacy, increased utility bills, health risks such as cancer, environmental harm, fires, and unprecedented hacking vulnerability, while lighting the path toward solutions. With compelling insight from whistleblowers, researchers, government agents, lawyers, doctors, and environmentalists.
So much disturbing stuff here. Obama giving billions in stimulus money to fund this "development" irked me.

Thanks for the suggestion. This looks like something right up my alley. Had to chuckle about the special star thing. Being Catholic, I was raised on a star shown in the east guiding the 3 wise men to the baby Jesus. Coincidence? Or appropriation?

Manolo.......The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards.................
An in-depth portrait of MANOLO BLAHNIK, self-confessed 'cobbler' and the man regarded by most influential fashion figures as 'the best shoe-maker of the 20th and 21st centuries. A film for anyone who has ever looked longingly at a pair of... 'Manolos'. While I admit I've NEVER looked longingly at a pair, my curiosity got the better of me and I just had to watch this! I enjoyed it..... |

Hm, not my favorite, but I just saw Visages Villages by Agnès Varda, which was really wonderful and lovely! Love her films.
Love The Keepers on Netflix. |

Nat King Cole: Afraid of the Dark (2014)
Imagine what it would feel like to be the only black television star in Hollywood at a time when the Ku Klux Klan acted out violently against black people, when America groaned under the weight of segregation and prejudice. Imagine being in possession of a natural talent so great, so unique and disarming that these issues were seemingly swept to one side to allow you to perform and be acknowledged for this gift, yet behind closed doors they were trying to think of a way to package you as something you were not: white. This candid account of the actual happenings in and around the "fairytale" life of fame and fortune of Nat King Cole, are taken from the private journals of Nat King Cole and exclusive interviews with the widow of Nat King Cole, Maria Cole, as well as contributions from other family members. |

Everyone at work is talking about the Netflix documentary "Wild Wild Country" about the utopian cult in Oregon from years ago.
I'm not much for tv but it's been a while since I turned mine on and this looks like a decent doc! Has anyone else seen it yet?
