I see absolutely no reason why what you are espousing should come to pass. The future here is very bright. As a matter of fact, in a LGB pay scheme that I argued, it would be the bottom of the payscale that would see the biggest gains for the first 10 years or so. TVM and all that. I put my money where my mouth is...... But if you want to get nasty about it, I can't stop you.
