read?

I have been reading the material to retrain myself, that is what I spend my time reading, and allI dare to read now are the want ads!!

22 weeks, and people throw out cliches to people like me!

I swear, all these cheerleaders must have never worked in manufacturing!

No Offense, I know you are trying to help, but I am ready to give up on all the lies/half-truths I was taught as a child and up about the US being the world's leader in manufacturing, I saw too much in my 43 years, and being from Ct, I honestly worked for 2 companies that are now in China, 3 that are out of business otherwise.

I dont see any of this as bneing a simple market caused condition, I clearly see this as the result of politics supporting big business decisions.

There was a day when a business had a responsibility to the peope it employed and the township it was in. To move to another area just to make a bigger buck, and for no other reason was considered a form of treason because of the broken lives it left behind, and the shattered hopes and dreams.

We can lay the blame at the feet of many reasons, but when people try to tell me the problem is people like me whining about it, when in reality all we are doing is pointing out the emperor has no clothes...

Why cant people see? We have sent overseas the means to manufacture, the very machines that will be used against us!! The very industries that were our bread and butter that will be used to put ur remaining buisinesses out on the street because they are funded by Communist or Fascist countries artificially propping up their industries with government monies while we try to do it with Persoan money of the business owner!

We cannot compete against this unless we impose tariffs on imported goods!!

Race, instead of reading want ads for others, why don't you start your own damn business! If you are as smart as you think you are, that should be no problem. You've already explained away every single entrepreneurial example I could possibly give you (and if you are really serious, I'll give you a dozen from the 1990s).

I keep telling you, your value lies in YOU and what you can bring to the table. So if you have "retrained" yourself as much as you say---and I believe you---then do what two or three of my older STUDENTS have done, and that is, start your own business. I've got ghetto kids whose parents have started successful busineses, I've got older divorcees who have started businesses. If they can make it, so can you, and without freaking government help. That, sir, is socialism and you can't get away from it.
