No matter what the spins continue. Hillary and Obama talk about NAFTA from a recent timeline that ignores the brutal evolution of Free Trade. Others start from a point telling us we should get over the past and embrace the future. Others get into false reporting about scarcity of skilled workers. They refused to report that employers have a vast pool of workers where they control the events. It has always been obvious that the skill levels on the jobs seldom matched up with outside training.
The media seems to ignore workers who want to tell their stories. Some years ago Ann Landers had a column where she said if you lose your job just go get another one. This prompted a massive deluge of responses from angry unemployed and underemployed workers. Workers who are the core of society have been denied a voice and columnists quote experts who never did the walk before they talk.
There is one thing certain about the future and that is the past is the future. The past is the only thing we have left to restore human dignity in the workday, a real free-enterprise system and the American Dream for all in the world. Local value-added economies are the only thing that work. We have chopped up the goose that laid the golden eggs and sent the pieces around the world. We have also created a new colonialism that breeds wars and terrorism. The economic models from 1950s through to the 1980s can be studied and the best of all worlds should be abstracted prior to the forced Globalization of the world.
More education will not help if everyone in the world has to compete for the same jobs. More research and development won't work if the production phase goes outside the United States or any country where the Research and Development is performed. More retail outlets like Wal-Mart will not work if we shop ourselves out of our jobs.
The United States has gone through the most massive dislocation of jobs in its history with bankruptcy and foreclosure rates breaking all records. The prison population keeps breaking records too. Who said we had to compete in a global economic arena like gladiators? Have free trade and globalization really evolved in a natural economic way? When and who changed the definition of trade to moving production and factories from place to place instead of the historical defintion of trading products. Today the main commodities are workers who are put on a world trading block to compete with one another down to the lowest levels of wage slaves and even child labor. This comes before any trading as historically practiced.
Where do any of the political candidates talk about things like this.
I worked in several factories while going to college. It was the foremen who took the young off the street and taught them a skill. It was on the job training. At age 18, I set up three assembly lines for oil burning furnaces and later was promoted to inventory control. I was also trained as an assistant to a worm gear maker. I spot welded for four years. I operated punch presses and bender machines plus many other skilled tasks. I had all the training on the job. Later a computer manufacturer trained me for more than a year prior to using me .
The computer industry was far ahead of any independent training in colleges. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this was the case today where skills were exactly matched with need on the job. Where skills were tailored to the job onsite.
The politicians will bring up things about making NAFTA work right but how can they do anything if they deny the past where Free Trade has a history of failures going back to 1956. The Maquiladora factories in Mexico have operated that long and did not stop the flood of Mexican workers to the United States seeking economic survival. Recently, ten Mexican bishops confirmed the mess by censuring Free Trade as they have known it for more than fifty years. They call it a cultural death.
Here in the USA, 46,000 workers applied for 1,000 jobs at three new Wal-Mart stores. The companies that say they can not find skilled workers should put up a recruiting booth in the waiting lines of applicants. What percentage of the 46,000 applicants to you believe have high degree of skills in more fields than one.
