Why not outsource CEO jobs???

[tia373]

I have read no other posts- but darn if that is not a good idea.

Hengst did you honestly just try and say that since the farmer and textile worker might have enjoyed their jobs, we shouldn't have changed that industry and prevent future progress?

I honestly don't get how you can possibly not see the forward progress that the nation as a whole has made since those times, let alone the world in general.

Fucking luddites.


Fuck I need coffee if I'm going to read anything today and not want to kill everyone.

Luddites - good one. Seriously, great post. I guess I did come off sounding retarded; I do actually agree with you here.

I guess my point is, that the people who lose their jobs to overseas, third world cesspools have no control over it. There has to be a balance between the best interests of the workers AND the health of a company.

Unregulated flight of US industries is not a good thing just as stifling labor demands are not good for US industires either.

Our polititians and leaders need to take this balance into consideration. Afterall overseas jobs losses are NOT the intended benefits of free trade.

Your post sorta proved testboy's point.

There is essentially no textile manufacturing left in the US. Small farmers have been forced off their land (remember the 80's ? -i don't know how old you are) And the manufacturing sector has lost 2.5 million jobs in the last 3 years - NEVER to return.

Kinda like the buggy whip manufacturer, and the horse and carriage manufacturer, and the kerosene dealer, ad nauseum. Business is dynamic, some lose their jobs in the process, this is inevitable, unless we dream of an agrarian lifestyle reminiscent of "Little House on the Prairie". I don't. I enjoy the fact that I do not have to grow crops, sew clothing, kill my food, build my house, pray my wife does not die in childbirth, lose my children due to a common infection, etc. Business dynamics has given us this luxury, all while some lose their jobs.

Maybe that farmer didn't want to lose his land and livelihood, perhaps that garment cutter liked their job.

Maybe some did not want to pay the higher costs that the small farmer charged. Business is the transaction between individuals, if one does not wish to transact with you, you better figure out something to do. Should we force the nation to pay high costs so that the small farmer can keep his job?

When do we draw a line in the sand?

When government attempts to prevent human choice.

Interestingly, I've seen in the press here that Germany is making a concerted effort to retain as many manufacturing jobs as possible in their country because they are concerned about the long term remifications of their loss. You can go on about the sclerotic european economy, but the truth is, quality of life is as goos as and in many cases better than in the states.

Quality of life is subjective, so it means little. Some Europeans I have met cannot handle the fast paced life of the US, they favor the slower pace of European society, while some I have met love the US and all of its "consumerism". I have no problem with Europeans favoring their restricted economy, I just don't want it here in the US.

By the way -
If I read this right, your solution doesn't include any policy of restricting trade. You just dislike outsourcing. Your solution would not stop outsourcing.

Free trade is a good thing but the history and analysis of free trade has not previously been able to address the massive outsourcing on the scale being employed.

Many things grow and shrink in an exponential manner. We can lose a million jobs a year and replace them, if the number gets doubled every year we almost all lose our jobs fast.


I am not talking about seat belts or dui's here, I am talking our jobs. That is something we can not afford to lose.

Just for future reference, a number doubling every year is linear growth.

Exponential would be a curved sloping line instead of a straight incline.

y=x^2 instead of y=2x for example

But I'm sure you knew that already, having studied economics in college and all.

Yes I knew that and pondered using the word squared instead of doubled. I decided to let you show off your knowledge since you went to a private school and all.

Seriously....I was trying to avoid sensationalism.

Some one please tell me how Canada survives. That place has nothing to offer.

well we WHUPPED your asses again.

In December Canada created 53,100 jobs. The US only created 1000 jobs. No, that's not a typo.

Remember we have 1/9 the population so that 53,100 translates to almost 500,000 US jobs. Poor kids.... is life that hard down below??
