I browse reddit sometimes, it's just amazing how stupid some of the people on there are. Typical hippy teenagers who think they know everything. I go for the rage comics, mostly.

Classic quote from one of the comments:

"America needs to go on strike until the "job creators" give us more money. These greedy bastards have cut our standards so much that many americans no longer have enough live a healthy life, to progress and achieve the american dream. They have sent our jobs overseas and allowed the financial industry to steal trillions of dollars from the people."

Atlas Shrugged, anyone?

I had a wonderful conversation with a person this weekend and I talk about how I 100% support outsourcing because it is globally ethical. The US has every opportunity in the world and we have advanced well beyond basic manufacturing. Those jobs deserve to go to countries that are just starting to grow and move along the economic cycle.

manufacturing has been dying in this country for 40 years, yet people are surprised that mindless, simple and well paying jobs are hard to find.

If you check out the pictures of the people who post on Reddit, you will quickly understand why they post this retarded drivel .

I think it's absolutely true that America, and much of the Western world, are getting priced out of the market in manufacturing; they simply can't compete with Asians and other emerging market for cost. German, perhaps the last major 'workshop economy', achieves price competitiveness by protecting its core industries and by agreeing to coordination between unions and employers' associations. Their economy and education system has developed to fit around this model accordingly- there are more vocational schools, workers talk up longer tenures , move around an awful lot less than in Anglo-American model and financing is relationship-based. Accordingly, benefits and insurance systems have also evolved to accomodate the less fluid labour market and potential for longer-term unemployment.

The issue in the US is that the technology boom of the late 90s/early 00s has benefited the educated classes more unequally. As America integrates more aspects of the New Economy and as education remains prohibitively high for great swathes of the populace, you should expect social tension. If the uneducated underclass can't find work, can't adapt to the change in the structure of the economy and struggle to survive, you're going to have trouble on your hands. Putting aside financing, perhaps the only good [although I'd prefer to say bearable] thing about the European welfare sate.
