Hmmm, who fights the ground wars when not enough troops are home grown for we this United States of America ??? Yes we need good strong men and women who are nurtured and trained to endure great suffering if need be. The Chinese just might have that army, the Ruskies also. Are we this United States of America going to depend on NATO or the United Nations to totally protect our interest in the world now, especially the one where we don't want to be attacked in the future by anyone thinking that we are finally weak enough to do so ? Yes we are courting technology for everything now, but is this going to save us in the future ???Not even going to dignify that drivel with a response.Bs. For example, back before corporations had the option to move their plants to Mexico, labor could organize and demand a fair wage.The fundamental problem with all democratic "solutions" is that they still preserve the economic structures that created the inequality to begin with. That is a fancy way of saying they ain't rocking Wall Street's boat.
A middle class emerged. But the rich caught back. Slowly from the late 70s to now the rich have been getting richer with their economic policies and the middle class has disappeared
Nafta, invented by bush and fully supported by republicans
Jobs Americans won’t do saved the rich billions and cost the middle class billions
Buying cheap shit from China.
Tax breaks for the rich
Rising healthcare costs
Cuts to social programs.
The rich are doing great. Maga
Other than this..For a twelve millionth time....Unions or organized labor, killed itself
Unionists exist in a time that has past.
They think in terms of "we still need typewriters"....They exist in old inefficient smoke stack plants.
Union leaders failed to adjust to technology which allowed productivity by technology to increase while requiring fewer people to produce the work.
Unions in a way are responsible for technological advancements in manufacturing and unions are also partly responsible for the existence of global competition.
A healthy balance must be kept, and the promotion of our human strength in numbers or in adequate numbers coupled with technology should be kept in every way possible. It can't be just about the bottom line in this country, but the way things are being set up it just might end up that way (thinking only of the bottom lines).
Is this a fair observation or analysis maybe ??
