Arbitrary No, many of those who were making $24.00 an hour are out of work or soon to be out of work, those working in factories making $9.00 an hour still have jobs and will have jobs in the future, there's a simple explaination to that conundrum, those that were making $24.00 an hour in UAW factories
weren't worth that much. The union geniuses priced much of their own membership right out of the labor market.
yea dude! our economy, and it's total meltdown of consuming ability, sure does agree with you!
Buy a fucking house lately?
How many 9/hr factory workers do you think are out getting new homes built? Or, I daresay, buying homes period? 24/hr are out of work because assholes like you don't have a problem shipping those opportunities to Mexico. Don't deflect the blame, dude. It's entirely the fault of people like you that we are wading through the river of shit that seems to have stunk up our domestic economic climate.
-YAWN-
Yeah... that's right...
Those companies decided to go through the hassle of moving their manufacutring facilities to Mexico just to piss off the American workers... It wasn't because of the regulatory expenses slapped upon them by the US left... It wasn't a result of those regulatory liabilities causing them to be unable to bring a product to market at competitive price established by the natural forces of the market place...
The American worker is ENTITLED to take home two, three, five, TEN times the wages of equally skilled workers elsewhere...
It's the cognitive limitations of the left which make them so damn dangerous.
The fact is that the skill levels necessary to do certain functions are not static... what was once a valuable skill, which were fairly rare... eventually become quite common.
If you had worked on an assembly line for 20 years and one day you come to work and there's a parrot sitting on the line doing your job... then YOUR JOB IS NO LONGER WORTH the wages that you were earning yeasterday...
TODAYS WAGES for your job are equal to those demanded by THE PARROT.
Now you've a CHOICE... continue to work that line and take home a bag of birdseed everyday... or GO FIND A JOB WHICH A PARROT CAN'T DO!
It isn't an honest argument to complain that the factory moved its operations to the PET SHOP; thus robbing you of a living... the fact is that the skills necessary to DO YOUR JOB are no longer as valuable as they once were... and where one adds MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF GOVERNMENT REGULATORY LIABILITY TO YOUR WAGES... moving to the pet shop, where no such regulations exists, isn't a hassle AT ALL... it's
THE ONLY POSSIBLE SOLUTION!
