6. Teaching Maths In 2009
A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be
offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the
felling license. He is also fined $100 as his Chainsaw is 8cm in breach of
Health and Safety legislation as it is deemed too dangerous and could cut
something. He has used the Chainsaw for over 20 years without incident,
however he does not have the correct certificate of competence and is
therefore considered to be a recidivist and habitual criminal. His DNA
is sampled and his details circulated throughout all government
agencies. He protests and is taken to court and fined another $100
because he is such an easy target. When he is released he returns to
find gypsies have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land.
He tries to throw them off but is arrested, prosecuted for harassing an
ethnic minority, imprisoned and fined a further $100. While he is in
jail the gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell it on the black
market for $100 cash. They also have a BBQ of squirrel and
pheasant, and depart leaving behind several tons of rubbish and
asbestos sheeting. The land owner, on release, is warned that failure to
clear the fly-blown rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offense.
He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the
peace and invoiced $12,000 for safe disposal costs by a
regulated government contractor.
Your assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be
arrested and fined before he realizes that he is never going to make $20
profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and live off the state
for the rest of his life?
7. Teaching Maths In 2010
A logger doesn’t sell a truck load of timber because he can’t get a loan
to buy a new truck because his bank has spent all his and their money on
a derivative of securitised debt related to sub- prime mortgages in
Alabama and lost the lot with only some government money left to pay a
few million pound bonuses to their senior directors and the traders who
made the biggest losses. The logger struggles to pay the $1,200 road tax on his old truck
however, as it was built in the 1970s it no longer meets the emissions
regulations and he is forced to scrap it.
Some Gippo loggers buy the truck from the scrap merchant and put it
back on the road. They undercut everyone on price for hauling and send
their cash to the bank, while claiming unemployment benefit for themselves and
their relatives in three different counties. If questioned they speak no English and it is easier to
deport them at the government’s expense. Following their holiday back
home they return to the US with different names and fresh girls and
start again. The logger protests, is accused of being a bigoted racist
and as his name is on the side of his old truck he is forced to pay $1,500 registration fees. The Government borrows more money to pay more to the bankers as bonuses are still rising. Polititions feel they are missing out and claim the difference on expenses and allowances. You do the maths.
