Loss of Manufacturing Jobs

Assume that Z, Inc builds a new factory to manufacture widgets.
There are many construction jobs created in order to build the
factory. When the construction is complete, those jobs are
“lost.”
With input from the workers, innovative ideas are used to make
the manufacturing process more safe and efficient. Dangerous
and repetitive work is automated. Productivity increases.
Some of this increase is due to workers becoming more skilled
in their assigned functions. Most of the increase is due to
automation. The workers should be paid more for the
productivity increases due to their increased skill. The
investors should be paid more for the productivity increases
due to their investment in automation. With continued
productivity increases the number of widgets required to meet
demand can be manufactured with fewer workers. Jobs are “lost.”
If workers demand higher wages than justified by their share of
the productivity increases, then management may decide to
increase automation or rebuild the factory where wages are lower.
Either way, jobs are “lost.”
This is a simplified description of how manufacturing matures
and how jobs are lost. I have known this since I read Future
Shock four decades ago. Those who have a vested interest in
wages would deny it and say that management and investors are
greedy. It is a simplified description because it ignores tax
policy, the effect of government regulation, competition from X
and Y, Inc and foreign companies and many other variables.
It is not a catastrophe to lose jobs in labor-intensive
industries – except to low-skilled workers – while higher-paying
jobs are created in high-tech, high-touch industries like
computers and medicine. The jobs are not “shipped overseas,”
but the manufacturing matured. China and India, with billions
more workers have lower wages because of the much greater
supply of available, skilled labor.

The Roots of Obama's Rage - D'Souza

Barack Obama, Sr grew up in the British colony of Kenya.
Barry's (Jr) stepdad, Lolo Soetoro grew up in the Dutch
colony of Indonesia. Both father and stepfather were
anti-colonialists. They believed that nations have become
rich on the backs of their colonies; i.e. the “rich” have
become rich at the expense of the poor.
Barry is multiracial and multicultural. He is mulatto,
the son of a black father and a white mother. He grew
up in Hawaii and Indonesia. Barry only met has father once.
He was 10 years old and living in Hawaii. His first book is
Dreams From My Father published in 1995 and again 2005.
To illustrate how his ideology governs policy, Barry
used the BP oil spill to prohibit drilling in the Gulf of
Mexico. At the same time, the U.S. Export-Import Bank offered
$2 billion in loans and guarantees to Brazil's state-controlled
oil country Petrobras for offshore drilling.

Notice to School Boards

You are responsible for the education of children in Aiken
County. Part of that responsibility is to protect them
from error. We have seen a lack of integrity among
scientists involved in “Climategate” where data was selected
to prove a premise. There are great rewards such as grants
– and even Oscars and Nobel Prizes for politicians who sell
the false premise.
I received my Master of Science degree in 1969
(U. of Missouri), so I have decades of experience in the
scientific world. The recent lack of integrity among
scientists is not isolated to the global warming scam.
Those scientists who believe in the evolution idea have
actively suppressed data which questions the idea. I do
not call the evolution idea a theory because it is not
science. No “theory” of origins may be science, because
science is about observations, hypotheses and repeatable
experiments by peers.
John Dewey signed the first Humanist Manifesto in
1933. It states that “The universe is self-existing and
not created.” He was at Columbia University training
teachers. Humanist ideas have become embedded in both
teachers and textbooks that they have written.
My Bible tells me that Jesus Christ created
everything. To teach otherwise is to deny Him. My Bible
also tells me that those who deny Him will spend eternity
in the lake of fire. You may be a born-again believer,
but, if you even passively allow error to be taught by
those under your control, you will soon answer to God for
that failure. To whom much is given, much is expected.
