uncle's international tower of debt and re industrialization
it amazes me how
reasonable
well informed folks
can yammer on and on and on
about
the shrink of our industrial sector
hell it can just as easily re expand
and if at some point
thats whats best
for these scum profiteers running the show
it'll happen
of course it isn't gonna happen any time soon ....
=========================================
okay job lose
leads to questions
of what replaces what
in fact
well paying unionized
factory jobs are going
and bad pay service jobs replacing em
but two points
one the jobs per se as a bundle of tasks
are hardly worse
so
two
its about the wage
and if you look back
the industrial wage was a function of unionization
sp as a prole guardian i say
shut up
and
unionize the service sector
as to the wage rate
bottom half
secular becline
well
its part of
our present historic
reversal of trend
a remarkable
bernstein defying
re miserization of the north job klass
but looked at
properly
at the level of the whole
hey we're part of a global system
and in the present stage
the system
is acting
in ways
that passeth all our prior understanding
granted
calling it as the wally boys do
simply
" division of labor crossing borders"
all
part of the progressive development
of labor productivity
can cover a multitude
of opportunistic exploitation sins
many of which are not only
not necessary
but even not consistent
with highest "possible"
welfare weighted physical productivity
no the invisible hand
behind profit max driven world markets
for sure
shapes a planet
full
of avoidable waste and destruction
but face the blunt facts
a very open role
domestically
in such a fast browning planets
interconnected marketplaces
awaits any would be hegemon
we have to set an example
for our underling
southern neighbors
penetration max baby
penetration max
hif uncle sam wants to live up to
his new title
uncle hedge
and
his new role
providing safe conduct
for
flows of capital across
all these international borders
particularly
the one's flowing from north to south.....
the aortic phase
of the north/ south
capital/commodity global circulation
-------------------
so if as a product of open wide
our industrial sector has shrunk
while north capital built
south factories multiple
and our trade balance
in products
goes to hell
so badly in fact
people begin to wonder
what we could ever
build and
send back out there
worth what the bastards will want as compensation ...
after all a credit system
may indeed be able to postpone equalizers
indefinately
but one wonders just how long indefinietly can be
since theres always barter at the of the heart of matter
postponed barter but none the less
ultimately a material thing or service
and only a material thing or service
will suffice
its clearly not eye for an eye
not even eye for an ear
but give up an eye
and eventually
u expect to get back
something of intrinsic worth
and cretainly its
a bad illusion
to think
on the day of reckoning
an eye can still
be had for just one more iou
no eye for an iou
and no
no iou for an eye
-----------------
as to how we produce the reals
to pay off our national debts
or at least keep em
at a level type level
well if its called for
if our services and intellectual property
and marquee rents
can't cover it all
then
our manufacturing sector
may well
re expand
but to see the real choice
imagine
we marxoids
sieze power here
tomorrow
and
declare the empire null and void
we could easily
set up a system
of mutually beneficial centrally regulated
national exchange rates
no not a euro zone for the whole of us
thats a horrible thought
but the whys of why not a glbo
are s too much to cover here and now
let me just say
the optimal location
of earth wide production
in all its stages
based on a world plan
would spell a rapid re expansion
of our domestic industrial production
yes thats right
i'm sure it would call
for a large reflux of production share
to our shores
autarky no
but far less physical flow of goods
then we see now
wiith wage arbitrage and other sub optimal arrangements
so in a way
the big debt we're piling up
is a paper refection of
what ain't gettin built here
and yet
will one day
once again be built here
its sort of like
our answer to
the cargo cults
uncles international tower of debt
leave the movement max programs
for people its more fun amd more sensible
