How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America

[Neil]

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I remember similar hysteria  after the early 90s recession - talk of a jobless recovery, Generation X not being able to find work, first generation to have a lower standard of living, etc.

Things worked out pretty well after that. 

Sort of.  Turns out, most of it was built on smoke and mirrors.

Why would anyone care about those states?

Florida's the 4th most populated state in the nation.

Yeah, but it's in the South, and is full of Mexicans.

Do you realize how stupid you sound when you say these things.

I assume he will reply "Cubans? Mexicans? Pah, what's the difference?"

I don't disagree, it will however merely reinforce the aforementioned impression.

I'm white, comfortable, devastatingly good-looking, married and I have an IQ of 213.  I don't care what people who have none of those qualities think of me.

[Monoriu]

the big question is of course how long the far eastern wage-slaves will be content with being wage-slaves. Quite a bit longer given their numbers, but it won't last forever cause even numbers can't ultimately prevent wage-slaves from agitating towards not-wage-slaveism. And that's something no force on earth can prevent (not even the CCP)

Wage-slaveism is good for me.

Of course wage-slavism will not last forever and that is key to raising standards of living here and in the rest of the third world, but even if you double the current wages in the developing countries, you will still be only marginally approaching the west european levels, and only in case of white collar jobs.

This is one the reasons I hate that we have such high taxes in Hungary, btw. We have no natural resources, our agriculture is outclassed by a lot of oversea countries, our only hope is the various service industries.

Not really related, but:
Tamas, you should move to Singapore. You would like it here. Very low taxes, not much of a social system to pay for so everybody can make his own fortune, excellent infrastructure, efficient bureaucracy, well-paid jobs, language of business is English. I think it is closer to your ideal country than the USA.

[CountDeMoney]

married and I have an IQ of 213.

Those two attributes are inconsistent.

Tamas, don't listen to Zanza. Singapore doesn't embrace civil liberties with as much enthusiasm as the USA. Come visit America before you make up your mind. I'll take you to the shooting range.

Also, fascism.

And I'll give you a good headstart.
