Fight it; words and action. If you don't, then the result your inaction brings about is indistinguishable from the result brought about by acting in it's support.

The iceman fought the advent of refrigerators, the blacksmith fought the advent of the automobile, the office tabulators and file clerks fought the advent of the computer. What good did it do any of them?

But when the iceman lost his job - the refrigerator repairman found his. When the blacksmith lost his job, the auto mechanic found his, when the tabulator lost his job, the computer programmer found his.

The world is changing and the old American factory jobs are going the way of the dinosaur. You can fight against it all you want - but it won't change a thing.

However, for every job that is lost - a new one will take its place. We have to learn to swim WITH the tide and not against it.

Again, none of this means that I personally like it or agree with it. But putting on blinders and pretending that it will alll go away does no good at all.

You are leaving out a couple of important pieces of information. If you say the iceman lost his job, but the refrigerator found his, you are wrong. The iceman didn't lose his job because the government created programs that ultimately forced his job offshore. In the days of the iceman, the government did not act unilaterally to decimate whole sectors of the economy so that it could provide trade giveaways at international trade rounds. If the local modernized and households bought refrigerators, the need for icemen diminished. In today's centrally planned global economy, elites attending the trade rounds decide which countries will get which sectors. It is flatly antiAmerican, completely orchestrated and totally unconstitutional.

The pretending going on is that this economy is a natural progression of some sort, when indeed it is part of a global planning process that usurps the rights of American citizens to control their own destiny.

No. This current migration to inequitable trade has nothing to do with new technology replacing old. The technology and methods being "traded" as templates for foreign manufacture is leading edge.

It has to do with a building a foundation for a global government and dissolving the sovereignty of nations, as has been admitted outright for almost two decades.

You can bow your knee to it. I will not.
