Tomorrow's Jobs

Barron's ^ | 1/5/04 | Gene Epstein

[Texas_Dawg]

THE OLD, TIRED IDEA that America has only a finite number of jobs -- and that we must guard them zealously against raids from cheap foreign labor -- has been making a remarkable comeback. The only difference is that its upside-down view of the economy has plumbed new depths.

[riri]

you hate America, much less America's friends who happen to not live in America

I can only hope one of the first Chinese missiles lands on your roof.

[Texas_Dawg]

The simple answer is none of us are like you, none of us are content to violate the rights of others, none of us proclaim war on our fellow Amercians.

Beck_isright answered "Yes". So at least in that way, he would be like me, fwiw. Sorry you can't answer the question. You'd think, given your tagline, you'd at least be able to answer the question.

[new cruelty]

Whatever you do...

DON'T PANIC!

[Starwind]

Most people are like me and are very happy and love America.

False.

Most people would not willfully violate the paid subscription rights of the owner of this article, nor confuse empty cheerleading with critical analysis, nor confuse questioning with loyalty.

Most Americans are honest and hard working. Not dishonest provocateurs. They don't pretend to be something they are not.

You don't have the integrity to address this do you?

[Texas_Dawg]

So then you admit the true definition of a "Communist" (if they owned a business as you contend) was not fufilled as the true commie is driven to ideological purity?

They might not be in step with Marxist purity, but they are definitely "Communists". Otherwise, by your definition, many of the Chinese Communist party die-hards, are not "Communists". I, for one, think they (and Fidel Castro and many other Communists) are Communists despite their ownership in and profiteering off many businesses.

I didn't know Barron's articles had to be excerpted at FR. I've posted them before and they've gone un-edited. My bad. I won't post them un-excerpted again. Honestly, not a very big deal. Would you describe yourself as an overwhelmingly happy and joy-filled person?

[Starwind]

Sorry you can't answer the question. You'd think, given your tagline, you'd at least be able to answer the question.

You haven't earned the respect of an honest debate.

I've told what I think of you. You willingly violate property rights, declare war on American workers, and then want respect.

You deserve my contempt.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I agree!

your "real" world is truly a dark and unhappy place. I have ample pity for you..

[riri]

Would you describe yourself as an overwhelmingly happy and joy-filled person?

Wrong thread.

Lay off the kool aid, would ya?

[Texas_Dawg]

I can only hope one of the first Chinese missiles lands on your roof.

OK. Thanks. Let me know when the first Chinese missile lands on America. In case you haven't noticed, GWB, the man you hate, is trying to make sure no more Islamist "missiles" land on American roofs. Too bad you hate him for this. It's a bit bizarre though for someone who claims to be so concerned with Americans and missiles.

[Texas_Dawg]

Move out of your parents' basement and get out in the real world.

I live in Manhattan. My parents live in Texas. Thanks. Where do you live?

" They might not be in step with Marxist purity, but they are definitely "Communists"."

In name only. Marx's writings beyond Das Kapital were quite strict and direct on that issue.

"Otherwise, by your definition, many of the Chinese Communist party die-hards, are not "Communists"."

They are in name only. They are facists running a neo-socialist economy. Mao's China, North Korea and Albania were the only true communist nations using an authoritarian regime to direct all aspects of political and economic activity. Even the might USSR can only be called a neo-socialist state because of it's dependency on capitalism to survive. You must learn to seperate the political and economic policies to correctly assign the appropriate adjective. Facist is accurate for the political system in China as is "socialist" for the economic system. They no longer use a planned economic model, thus the deviation from Mao's China.

"I, for one, think they (and Fidel Castro and many other Communists) are Communists despite their ownership in and profiteering off many businesses."

That is your opinion. I think they are facists and nothing more. The true communists have failed. Eventually the facists will also as long as we do not cower and become a North American version of the EU.

It isn't about FR policy. It's about Barron's paid license property rights. Which you knew about. You said you posted it for people who didn't have subscriptions.

Dishonest.

But then stealing other peoples' intellectual property is the only way you and your asian handlers acquire anything.

[Texas_Dawg]

OK. I answered your question but you can't answer mine. (Trust me, I understand. I feel for you, man.)

Oh... and just so you don't misunderstand, my tagline says I am waging war against American "workers", not Americans. Huge difference.

[Orangedog]

Where are you and _Dawg getting your valium? You do know you need a prescription for that stuff, don't you?

[Orangedog]

Ohio

[riri]

My parents live in Texas

What province would that be in?

[Texas_Dawg]

OK.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Imagine military drones or CIA spy vehicles the size of a mosquito.

An insect size tv camera programmed to crawl into hostage situations or a terrorist get-together, equipped with a homing or targetting device.
Good bye boom!

[Leisler]

It's free market Fascists like you that ruined my aircraft fabric dope business, my magneto crank handle foundry, my chain of customized washboard stores and shut down my plans for nationwide "Haggis Hut" franchises.

Damn you.< sarcasm/off >
