Bizarre Politics Reports:
Bill Gates and the last U.S. high tech worker
I wish someone could show me how to live the contradictions of the value of work versus the value of goods.
Bill Gates testified before Congress about bringing in foreign high tech workers. He has promoted this for many years with Microsoft using contract workers for a long time.
The value of work has to balance out with the value of goods. Cheaper imports and cheaper labor from abroad subtract from incomes in the USA. Consumers are workers first and need to make enough money for their needs. Even Wal-Mart has noted their customers are running out of money prior to the end of the month and they were surprised when 46,000 apply for just over a thousand jobs at three new Wal-Mart stores.
On top of this, Wal-Mart workers are one of the biggest client group for goverment services. It is nonsensical to have cheaper imports if it also decreases the value of work. Wages have actually deflated in the USA and do not match up with the cost of goods. In the past, the USA enjoyed local value added economies that matched up with the local cost of living.
Now, Bill Gates calls for more high tech migrant workers. This means local workers will have to take another hit in order to compete for the same jobs. We read about a high tech worker who once enjoyed a decent income now living in his car. This is not an exception. There are also reports about workers being let go just before they reach fourty in the Silicon Valley so employers do not have to worry about anti-age discrimination. After more than thirty years in computers and being part of every computer generation, I tell young people to stay out of high tech jobs and look for jobs that can not be outsourced for insourced.
The word "parasite" now applys to industry leaders like Bill Gates who live off the suffering of millions of workers who have lost their living wage jobs. A parasite is an organism which lives, grows, feeds and takes shelter in or on another organism to survive or grow more wealth. Free Trade, outsourcing and insourcing has discounted the value of American workers. So far, we have been able to live off this discounting but now people like the current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, committing Free Trade heresy, testifys before Congress that the best way to stimulate the economy with economic stimulus money is to buy domestically produced goods. He added it would be a negative stimulus to use the money to pay down credit card debt. The big question that follows this is where are these domestically produced products. See- Ben says buy USA
Today, we see masks and behind those masks more masks hiding the scars of the lost of our value added economies. We now have a parasite economy feeding off itself and it is obivous this will not work no matter how match the Federal Reserve trys to back up the investment community and lower interest rates.
We can not exist when close to 50 percent of union membership is now made up of government related jobs. This is a parasite economy.
Coming post ref. - How Bill Gates Microsoft was born a monopoly and how Lend Lease was real Free Trade demonstrating you can not do business with someone who does not have money - you first have to find a way to get them money to do business.
