Parkinsons third law says nationalized industries prone to bankruptcy
Prof. C Northcote Parkinson argues that government linked industries tend to wage bill inefficiency. He notes payrolls filled with party hacks to pay political debts, with employment funded by taxpayer subsidies rather than earnings, creating inherent financial strain. Every hired worker is a voter and every sacked worker is a voter.

Man Sentenced To 18 Years For Auto Larceny Pattern
Brannan, age 26, convicted of auto larceny, received an 18 year term after judges cited a pattern of offenses since age 14. State's Attorney noted prior convictions, and the defendant said he feared returning the car. In a separate breaking and entering case against Leroy Wetzel, the court did not render a decision as prosecutors failed to prove goods valued at 100 or more or intent to steal. Wetzel was found entering via a window as police nabbed him. Judge Schnauffer takes the case under advisement amid similar recent defenses.
