I told myself that I wouldnt sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule.My first day of retirement came at last!

And health authorities on Thursday asked people to go ahead and get that first shot out of the way before the lines start forming for swine flu vaccine next month.“We must not let our guard down against seasonal flu,” said Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University.More than 110 million doses (剂量) of vaccine against regular winter flu are expected this year, according to a new estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits, Therefore, they invest (投资) in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rentcontrolled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum highs people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity (尊严) . Because of the law, Workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages. Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do mot agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree onthe value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it.
