I agree with most of what you say below, but I think here lies the wishful thinking. This thing is not sustainable even for a few years more. California is *about to default on its debt*... if you think this is the time to sit back and admire your 401k statement, think again.
But you're absolutely right, our economy has been gutted. Time to stop making excuses and claiming its 'inevitable'. Eventually the new 'marketing class' will even be out of work. No more bubbles to move to, no more inflated asset classes. What do you think we will all be doing in the future? America has to produce something other than green pieces of paper. -jmz On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 3:48 PM, JD Austin <j...@twingeckos.com> wrote: > > > > Theres an old saying.. you get what you pay for when you go with the lowest > bidder. > I've never seen a case where outsourcing saved company money in the long > term. > What they save in labor costs they pay for in communication issues and > missed deadlines. > > I've witnessed a huge job slide during my life time. > We've lost meat packing, textile, hospitality, construction, plumbing, > electrical, agriculture jobs, and a lot more lower level jobs when our > government allowed illegal immigrants to stay here unchecked which pushed > unskilled Americans out of those jobs. > We've lost manufacturing jobs when companies move out of the country. > We've lost high tech jobs when they've been outsourced to companies in > other countries. > We've host high tech jobs by in inflow of H1B's that live here (that > companies say they can't survive without) while our white collar > unemployment rate climbs. > Add on top the most expensive education in the world and you're right..
