raising labor power
neo liberal humanism:
viewing the wage chunk of
the job class citizenry
as so much more or less
improvable labor power
that needs a ramp up
to face the rigors
of unfettered global trade..===============================
as paul S sez
"all of us yankees were born with silver spoons in our mouths"
"however ...." "our de facto monopoly acess to superlative.."
productibve plant
built and run by our equally "superlative"
"scientific engineering and mangerial know how ..."is now "spread "
to "foreign educable masses.."
so we must up our eforts
as we are ewver more now
just one among many
nations with a well equiped wagery ......
the neo liberal Rx
use
the state to co -ordinate
this upgrade effortthru stiffening
the results of
the 1-12 grades of schoolkeep the school draft going
but
purge the non skill enhancing
deweyesque goo goo slackuse the tough love sacking stick
"force "
skill up grades
by eradicating feather bed jobs
time serving must be snuffed out
seniority privileges and rewards
must give way to fair competition
step aside pops
its time to recycle
time for u to hunt up
a new maybe lesser
career track for youselfmake existing here
more
dangerous
and disgraceful
make citizenship itself
a merit rewardgainable by any one
and just as fairly
loseable toothats the ticket
a citizenship like the old roman onew only better availible to anyone
foreign who pasts the testsand then one up rome
make it loseable by natives who fail
i mean ain't the black native males
among us
already in a de facto pilot projectbut felon strips are not enough
we need a real citizen test
and a real clear sign
you have no access
to the bill of rights
unless
you are a citizen
or to any other nie public stuff like health care
unemployment comp SSI etc etcfor those who fail to self improve
their skill set
non citizenshipthe key never admit how much faster
we jobsters must run
just to
stay in our same station
recycling wage tax revenues etc etc
to improve competitive ness
by increased productivity
and selling it to its targets
as the best way
to a long run increase in their real earnings ...since only "these investments in ourselves"
public( state/civic )
and household
can save us in a dog eat dog world
full billions of very hungry foreign dogsthis so far as their refined conscience goes
settles target debates
at the national level
since global views are "impossible"
and
uneven differential national efforts
will lead to relative wagery nation
losers and winners
given the exchange
of various nations
labor productsnicely
interactive ....the long view from a national crows nest
looks badreal wages lower then otherwise at each skill position
nations
thrown at each other
in an all against allwill up the beat
prolly allowing the capitalists to garner
the bulk of the net upside
as differences in national piece rates get arbitraged by the profiteers as
noble global welfare enhancing
free tradersjust the play
of one more disguise
one more face card of sinister doctor M
doc sam sez"probably a third of native americans are not highly educated and not energetic enough to qualify for skilled professional jobs "
make that with less genteel understatement 4 out of 5and now sum up the results of unfetter trans nat
guided international trade
since these are the types exposed to competition
in free cross border labor products exchange
its as if the raw labor powers of these low rate foreign lands migrated here to take over the non trade local productive
tasks as wellsincethe wages paid for all local product tasks
after adjustment
will fall
as their unskilled performers
become less valuable as potential
performers
of exportable product tasks
