Part Two

Started rant yesterday and got distracted. Anyway, now ecomonically we are producing were little in the way of actual things. So we replace the jobs making actual things with jobs doing things for other people, cooking, cleaning, selling them things. Okay I see three problems here. One, the job making things paid (local estimate) 12-16 US dollars per hour. The other jobs pay 7-10 dollars per hours. Two, as more factories close, who are we supposed to cook, clean and sell stuff too. And three, who is going to buy this stuff we are now making in China, India, Mexico and other places. The US is it's own best customer, but if we put all the people out of work they won't be able to afford to buy the stuff we make in other countries and then more business will close. Also, a lot of the service jobs are now going out of country. Any service that is offered that doesn't have to be done local and in person is going out of country. Anything that can be do via telephone or computer, data processing, data entry, telephone sales, telephone help services, order processing is all leaving the US. This all seems really stupid and short sighted to me. With fewer people working, the ones working making less money, who is going to be able to afford these goods and services. The companies say it is cheaper to subcontract it outside the country, but eventually it will be even cheaper to not offer the service at all, cause without work here, we won't be able to pay for it anyway.
