Arrow Electronic Components in Lenexa will close in the spring cutting 100 jobs, and sending its work to a new facility in Mexico. And with more undocumented Mexicans coming to work at lower paying jobs everyday there might be a temptation to blame them and not the corporate folks who benefit from outsourcing and cheap labor. Funny thing is, a vote for the Democrats won't change any of this . . . Your time might be better spent learning a new skill set instead of lamenting all of the damn brown people on the planet who want to work and pointlessly fighting the future.
Honestly, all of the news about outsourcing and immigration could be perceived as threatening to the American middle class if you intently listen to fear mongers all day (talk radio) but then you might realize that the media is one the last bastions of white privilege and I'm sure the people who lost jobs making buggy whips were pretty pissed as well. Remember, all of their rhetoric is predicated on the principle that it should be easy to make a living, and that has never been the case.

ReplyDeleteI agree. It's much easier to get the government to pay you to do nothing.
Cogent, well-reasoned and on target. Tony you're letting your journalist background show through again.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It never has been easy to make a living. An honest one anyway...
