who's gettin fucked over 'round here

 
 now there's 
 way too much 
motion and changing
 structure 
 inside  job-america   

  levels on levels
  areas tucked away under cover of 
other  areas 
 
    trends criss-crossing 
  each other
 up to the point
           of seeming  incoherence 
  ----------------------------------------------
shit what else 
needs so many 
independently moving parts
                    to function properly 

and all it does
   iz 
 confuse 
the actions 
of those
with good intentions 
               and honest minds

simple questions like
whither wagery
get 10 different straight answers 


 take wage klass internal conflicts

          no lets not 
cause who the fuck knows whats up .......

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

 
  today as yesterday 
and the day before that 
  i'm supposed to be cookin up something 
on the national master freight agreement 
past present and future

but shit I've 
been  too restless 


all these nasty  disturbences
in  the klass forces

i feel em all you know

and times are more  vortical now
 then in
any time since seattle 
 
shit its biblical almost

and it's 
    makin my ass  bone ache 


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

back to todays miscellany 



so why ain't there a good handle on these
job structure  questions ?


  these wage rate and hour trends
 by sector


you know 
it sucks 
 
 viewed thru
the fuckin all-slighty 
  news media  

you get a take 
 more  bogus 
then  a florida land deal 
 
course
it all starts
with  the data  
the department of labor 
creates


 totally fucked up 

 you'd think some 
state university 
some where with a 3 million dollar 
annual  grant 
from uncle sap 
after 5 years or so 
could pull things together here 

give us wranglers 
 a fairly decent model 
          of the  motions 
       goin on out there 
                   in the job force


sorry no dice compadre 

and shit
   
asking for one
ain't exactly like 
demanding 
 a toy train replica
 of the   entire 
 conrail
system for christmas 

hell 
 80%
active citizenry 
live breath
 prosper 
 falter and fall
as part of that fucking 
sold time  structure 

hence
is it  
" really too fuckin'  much"
to want 
a decent answer 
to the question

"where's the wage force going ?"
------------------------
fuck 
wheres  it going

i'd settle for
                 where its at 
                          and 
                      where its  been 
-----------------------------------------------------------
sure the labor department
is constantly
belching out stuff like 

" we'll need 3 zilion more cashiers by 2020"

 but no one listens 
to those boobs
so 
nobody checks
 to see 
what their  track record iz

well i have 

and 
in a word it's 

" STINKO "


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

OKAY 
THERE IZ NO  
  dynamic model

at least not one
anybody dares 
 talk  about

no apples to apples 
string of numbers  

in fact

when you dig in 
you
find way too many instances
where 
dull looking 
 macro averages 

obscure a micro-world 
        of 
     ice and fire 

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

 okay i know
asking for an answer 
to the whys
           is to much

asking
 why
 ratios of wage comp 
between different job
categories 
are what they are 
 or 
why 
wage/profit  shares
are  what they are 
or
why
higher ed requiring 
job pay premia are what they are

asking now for answers 
to all these whys 
 
thats plain silly

we gotta  see 
wherev we are 
and whats around uz
before we can crawl
after something 

 right?



but but but but but  


what those damn numbers 
actually  are 

askin for them
now

 for  sure
 ain't 
too much to ask  

----------------------------------------------
then again 
of course 
there's 
 the ultra top  secret model 
the big boys 
on wall street use

 "project mega view  " 

they keep quiet about that 

i only know about it 
because
my pal 
  eve abel 
spilled 
the beans to me 
 
and  
she'd know

fuck 
two years ago
in a huge goof up
one of their 
top flight 
    gizzmo heads
 tried recruiting  her
 

imagine the daughter 
           of  max the red  
working for the wall street titans

she'll refuse to confirm it 
to the press


  " what?...
come on.. 
 who said that ...?
herb
herb sorrell ...
hey you  tell herb
he'd better stop  
  smokin that bad ass shit "
-------------------------------
eve's dad 
red max
was at 
Bretton woods 
IN '44 
 by the way

" a  math wunderkind  "

then MIT 

and finally 
      piggly wiggly 
                junior college
AFTER
 the  RAT  hunters 
caught up with him in '51

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

  by the way 

do ya 'all
know about Bretton Woods  hoss?

 the  dollar's  
solid gold  peg

what a grace note
   that was

 for 25 years 
it kept 
the entire  first  world 
safe for social democracy
 
then 
"san clemente" dick 
           pulled the peg out 
                            in '71 
 the  first shot
fired
in the 30 years war on wagery
