It may surprise you, Geoffrey, to learn that I offer my services to another service industry, the beauty trade. That service industry is not dependant on “high waged” industrial workers. It may further surprise you to learn that there is no shortage of money in some sectors of the economy. The only sector of the economy that is suffering is the lower working class who were dependant on industrial work (and the unemployed who wish to be employed). These people are like dinosaurs and haven’t evolved with changing circumstancesIf these workers are ‘dinosaurs’, the products that they produced would no longer be required, anywhere, but the products are still wanted and are still being produced, by workers with the same skill levels as the now unemployed ‘dinosaurs’ of the UK, however the products are being produced by near unpaid workers in the outsourced production lines of the ‘east’, the UK’s upper and middle ‘economies’ are having a whale of a time out of the targetted plunder of the UK lower ‘economy’, achieved solely through ‘outsourcing’, a greed and gluttony fuelled process of ‘dropping’ paid industrial workers in britain, then ‘taking up’ near unpaid industrial workers in the ‘east’, are these permanently busy industrial workers of the ‘east’ also dinosaurs?, this process is much admired and sanctioned by the UK government, well they studiously avoid denouncing it.
I hope you as an honest and successful entrepreneur pay up all your taxes due to the UK government, so that sufficient revenue can be collected to finance the UK’s unemployed ‘dinosaurs’ that you obviously look down upon, yet appear to hold the process of arriving at their unemployment and their former employers in such high esteem, high enough to pay extra taxes is that?.A lot of people who were not unionised have not suffered from the demise of those unions and their associated industies. You know, the ones that could adapt to the new circumstanses, rather than die out like the industriaal worker stuck in the 1970’s mindset.
Adapt to the new circumstances?, such as what, work for £0.79p per hour?, is that possible?, why should anyone work for less than you?, you of course work for only NMW, thats how to prosper isn’t it?.
I offer my services to another service industry, the beauty trade. That service industry is not dependant on “high waged” industrial workers,
… and they all own three vehicles apiece and own outright their own home with no mortgage?, or dont these ‘‘low wage’’ workers rank high enough up your social order to allow such thoughts?, lets see you live on the wage you think is good enough for ‘others’ to adapt to in the ‘new circumstances’.
Wind yer neck in, I’m baiting Carryfast, but if you want to play as well I’ll answer this time.
In a fully unionised and controlled industrial economy I would have to accept the wage my masters said I was worth and only work when they permitted me to work (I’m talking about the unions here, not an employer or the government). They can’t give up the security of paid holidays, sickness benefit, unemployment benefit etc etc and are scared of finding their own work out in the big bad world. Those with more get up and go often succeed as they are willing to work harder as they risk losing everything, including their house, if they make a balls up of it.
The inconvenient truth of the living standards and income levels of the average typical American unionised worker in the US economy of the 1950’s-60’s shoots that bs down.So you’re saying that you’d want to live in a society in which everyone ( rightly ) takes reponsibility for their own health cover and social security requirements and a mortgage to pay for.BUT without the strength of the unions,and not working under a Fordist economic system,keeping wage levels in the economy at sufficient levels to pay for it.In which case what you’re describing isn’t exactly what the Canadian system that you seem to admire has gone for at least in relation to social security and health care provision.
However welcome to the American economy and way of life of the 21st century.Which as far as I know Pat Hasler doesn’t seem so keen on if you read his comments in the ex pat section.
