not enough red white and blue robots

 today's japs 
have nearly 6 times 
the industrial robots 
      we have 

(when scaled up 
to the relative size
 of our total  economy)


what  a beautiful index
 of  corporate amerika 
               at its 
                 absolute ugliest 

============================ 


 our industrial heart land 
is being technically starved

it  isn't getting state of the art
               automation 
 like office america still gets 
 isn't getting it now
and hasn't for years

nope

 "the best"
   if its bought at all 
by corporate america
is bought
 for"new green field " plants
else where

key:
green field plants 
are without unions 

and hell even better

we can build plants 
with sub maximal automation 
over seas  
and cause wages are so fuckin low
still undercut the market price


-------------------------------

rule of thumb:

robots buildin' it here
 is  better 
then coolies buildin'  it there
--------------------------

policy recommendation?

no fuckin way 

not so long as the wally boyz
 are at the control panel


get uncle wally out
and uncle wagery in
              and 
  automation max
       production prizes
           would make sense 

---------------------------------------------
by the way 
fuck the paradox

sure  automation max
 accelerates skill-job loss

they're gonners anyway
so lets  get it over with 

  all uncle wagery 
  once in power
    will  owe
        any of uz  wagelings
 is a guarnteed  xx  hour per week 
                              job 
                at yy dollars  per hour 

do that
 and whats left of 
           private capitalism 
will go down 
the technical progress drain

or more excitingly
 stage 
a "lost cause" rebellion 

but we're  getting ourselves
 way into 
several other posts here ...

----------------------------------------------- 

the same thing
 
"gradual technical enfeeblement "

happened
in britain
from 1870 to 1914

right while 
 those mumbly  bastards 
     still ruled the ocean waves

"the city"
 was top flight 
through out

but
 factory england

shefield birmingham coventry  manchester 
and all that ?

  each year they fell
further  behind 
       germany and america   

why?

cause the export of capital
in quest of higher profitz
then domestic investments yielded

became and remained
 the main activity 
of big time  british profiteers

as it is today
for wally world's
           classy-est  acts
