—unions are insignificant, compared to “environmental” regulation anymore, federal state, and local-—
Only 13% of manufacturing is union. While unions are a bane to production it’s more the regulation and taxation that has destroyed industry in the U.S.
You can consider all the Bernanke's, Nobel Phonies, economic models, exchange rates, debt instruments, and Wall Street rapists, you want, but it is production that brings material wealth.
This is a thermodynamic fact, the manifestation of the first and second laws.
Has anyone heard this from their local national media outlet, or their Harvard prognosticator?
The US government management, this administration, the majority of politicians, are the phoniest self serving egomaniacs on the planet. And you will hear this nowhere, except maybe from the Tea Party.
One of the intrinsic characteristics of the LEFT, along with ego, projection, malice, self-consumption, is laziness. And the only solution, as it has always been through history, is to dismantle the deception of centralized authority so we all as individuals must face the truth. Not a chance from the New York Times, the CFR, the London School of Economics, or Soros's Barack Obama.

Kill NAFTA!!!! Do away with minimum wage! The unions will disappear soon anyway.
The current system all but pushes business to export jobs and rack up debt. The combination of environmental laws, taxes, unions, affirmative action, the legal framework......... We have lawyers specialized in slip and fall suits........Jesse Jackson shake downs..........you have to hire less qualified or efficient (eeo commission looks at statistics), you have every group out there looking at you with a microscope and you have a society that is becoming more technologically resistant and negative (nuclear power, fertilizers, pesticides, genetic modified food, irradiation of food....etc) Americans have little work ethic left and the Judea Christian value system is imploding. The US is not a business friendly
environment. Sell it here, but don't build it here. Build in right across the border in Mexico and then import it to the US.
No one isolated thing has caused the deplorable economy and deconstruction of the American economic engine we now have, although it’s easy to point fingers at one’s pet problem. It has been a perfect storm since World War II. Unions, “environmental” agencies, the corrupt legal system, the corrupt education system, crony capitalism, the quisling media, society turning away from religious and ethical values, plain old ignorance, globalization, one-sided trade agreements, the corrupt banking industry, great society liberalism, and other factors not named here have all conspired by accident or design to result in the dying society we now have.
This is the largest single threat to America, as a nation.
Not just our way of life. Not just our standard of living.
The fact we are sending everything which made America great and strong to other countries, could very truly lead to America’s destruction.
It is time for conservatives to realize this awful truth, and begin to take action. Our beloved nation itself, is in danger.
Stop stalling. Stop waffling. Stop pretending it’s ok.
We need to act. NOW.
Unsurprisingly, steel output in the U.S. also fell in February. The U.S. produced 3.8 million tons of steel last month, a decrease of 54.2 percent from February 2008, the World Steel Association says. Comparable declines were seen globally as world steel output fell 22 percent in February.
In the European Union, there were production drops of 31.6 percent in Germany, 35.7 percent in France, 35.7 percent in Spain and 39.9 percent in Italy. Brazilian steel production decreased by 39 percent last month from February 2008 totals, and both Russia and Ukraine saw steel output fall by 32.1 percent and 33.6 percent respectively.
Iran and China were the only two countries who reported positive gains. Iran steel production gained 15.9 percent from February 2008 to 900,000 tons. China produced 40.4 million tons of February's overall world production of 84 million tons. The country reported an increase of 4.9 percent from last year's same-month total.
Just to recap in Feb. of 2009 China made almost half of the words steel, 10X as much as was made in the USA.
Its a far more subtle process than just “unionization”....
Imagine that all those overseas factories had no secure seaways from which to distribute their product.
the US Navy provides that security....in return for which the Federal Gov’mt REQUIRES of those factories, owners and country’s .....to buy US T-bills.
This is why we enjoy 4%-5% interest rates. We essentially force the world to pay the US tribute to ensure their productivity-to which the American Taxpayer is the major contributor.
That an American Citizen needs to pay any taxes whatsoever under the above arrangement is testament to the magnitude of Congressional and obsession with control.
All Congress needs to do to keep this gravy train running is ensure the pre-eminence of the US Navy-something that may be beyond the ability of the current RinoCrats.
At some point the US is going to end up just like the Old South, exporting food/cotton for machinery or simply the things we need. Then in the event of a war, we will lose mainly since we looked down on engineering and other practical things (like being ‘in trade,’) just like the Southern aristocrats did. Such are the ironies, God wouldn’t watch our back since I think I read that it was Napoleon that said “God is on the side of the strongest battalion.”
We need to change our attitudes towards engineering and medicine and then we’ll experience an upsurge in prductivity and industry. but even our education system isn’t geared towards learning, but geared towards socializing/networking and getting a degree that will secure a ‘position’ not a future. These days it’s about having a job ‘title’ to throw around in society. So many pointless degrees and it’s all about appearances.
I hate to post off topic, but I was looking for some feedback about what I should do.
I was laid off in a cutback in late September and naturally started looking for jobs. Fortunately, I got an offer which I accepted in mid-November and have been working there since then.
However, I have since received a slightly better offer from a company I had interviewed for prior to the previous one, and am wondering if I would be considered disloyal or could possibly get into any difficulties if I quit the job I am at, even though I have been there such a short period of time.
Both these jobs are in a state where either employer or employee can terminate a job at any time, legally.
thanks for any feedback!
