A lot of people would love to have a blue collar
job at a factory. You are saying there is
something wrong with working at factory?
Now that's the attitude of the big money
liberals. The factors are going away
because of things like our pro-China policies,
were they use slave labor exports to destroy
our industries. I supposed the 13th and 14th
Amendment's should be repealed so we can compete
better. It would be great for business and profits!

I didn't mean that there is anything wrong with factory work. But if it's vanishing, obviously factory workers have got to find something else to do. Sometimes life hands you something different, and you have to adapt.

Europe is stagnating because for years unions have insisted that the same old factory jobs be kept on because workers need "stability."

But sometimes being "instability" and being challenged to go out and do something different is the best thing that can happen to you. It's hard, but your life is going to be a lot better afterwards.

There's no guarantee in the US that anybody is going to keep their job, of any kind, blue-collar or white collar. And there's no guarantee that their business is going to succeed, if they're self-employed.

But we have the freedom to go out and try again, and we're not sitting around waiting for the state to start another five-year-plan to employ us.

I've been employed and I've been unemployed - on one occasion, very suddenly. Each time, I found something better, which I would never have done if I had been able to coast along in my old job. Was it fun and easy? NO! But if you take the challenge, you may end up a lot better off - and a lot happier - than before.
