I cited the tech industry which doesn't have any unions. In fact most
startups and companies wanted avoid unions so they learned to treat the
workers well with free food and even rec rooms to blow off steam. In
return they turned some of their young fools into tech monks. However
research by places like HP (before Carly ruined the place) showed that
working more than 50 hours a week was counter productive. Google will
hire a college grad for their "sandbox" but if they don't produce in a
year they're gone and probably hoping to get a job as a barista at
Starbucks. Nothing funnier than watching a young tech geek trying to
make your drink. In one case I cracked up when the assistant manager
told the noobie geek that "this isn't a chemistry lab" when he wanted to
"exactly" measure things. The assistant manager then turned to me and
(rolling her eyes) said "pray for me." :-D
Sounds to me you like slavery. Yeah some unions have become an end in
themselves. Tell me about it. The American Federation of Musicians
became a place for not too good players could get a get a gig carrying
around a briefcase and feeling self important while getting so far
behind the times even city symphony orchestras dropped out of it.

You left out a couple of other conditions as to why it is cheaper to

and Unions. Union demands have been unreasonable in many cases. Many
unions make so many demands that businesses just find it worthwhile to
shut down here and reopen in a foreign country and ship their products
back here. Unions drove the textile industry out of the US and
overseas many years ago. The same is going for various other
manufacturing industries. Who was it, Boeing, that wanted to move
their operations from Washington state to North or South Carolina
where they would be in a right to work state. As far as I remember
Obama put a stop to that.

No, the rope in this tug-a-war just needs to be pulled to a little too
the left. It's gone too far right and so far into the hands of the
0.001%. Even a lot "conservatives" dislike that. You seem to be one
of the few still stuck in this "rich good, poor bad" Tarzan think that
0.001%'er Rupert Murdoch promotes.
And Mike, the guy I do some software projects for started outsourcing
several years ago. It had nothing to do with government regulations
because software development is pretty much "hands off" when it comes
to government. It's just that the cost of living in some of these
countries is lower and so these companies can charge far less for a
project yet their workers still live well. The high cost of living in
the US is out of whack and artificial due to credit. Economists will
tell you the last time it was in balance was the mid 1970s. Back then
you could still earn minimum wage yet enjoy life.

Bernzie being the exception. They all want the same thing, total

Obama and Clinton are only centrists from a Bernzie Sander's point of
view.
You're not in favor of *handouts* but.... we don't hand out enough.
Right!
Quite frankly, it's cheaper to do business over seas than the US due
to government regulation, taxation and union demands, more Democratic
meddling.

"the far left"??!? As in similar in political outlook to say, Raul
Castro of Cuba?? And who, exactly, in the US Government, has
advocated, or worse, acted on, such an ideological vision? I am
pretty confident I can wait here for days without a name from you,
even down to the level of city dogcatcher, because *they don't exist*.
Obama is a centrist, like Clinton was. The only difference is the
color of his skin. His concern over the demise of social programs is
well founded, when our previous President advocated the destruction
of Social Security. "Put it all in the stock market", he and his
cronies said, and he would have, but he had no mandate from Congress.
A good thing, as we would have had millions in the street when the
market crashed.
I am not in favor of handouts, but the current Republican domestic
philosophy, and tax policy, seems to be, "I got mine, screw you",
justified on the basis of some waste and corruption wrt social
services programs. A very cold-hearted way of thinking, and obviously
biased when no such scrutiny is applied to say, military programs, or
corporate welfare.
The Republicans scream about losing American jobs, while advocating
constantly for ways to ship jobs overseas. It is ironic that the only
thing keeping our economy afloat are all the cheap products from
China, the Far Left, Communist nation, on which our continued
prosperity depends. Calling Obama "far left" is quite funny from that
perspective, as it is the Republicans who are driving us further into
China's hands.

Ollie, you make an awful lot of assumptions here. You assume that,
because a person in congress opposes the policies of the *far left*,
that they are racist and that they oppose those policies because the
person implementing them has dark skin. How simple minded can you
get? If you are white, I would have to believe that you are seriously
suffering from *white guilt* and trying to absolve yourself by
leveling such a charge.Next year, the excuses will be that we need a
*woman* to lead the country and if elected and she faces any
resistance, it will be because she's female in a patriarchal society.
This is meant to appeal to the base instincts of the *low
information* voter, an appeal to the emotions of the ignorant.
Damn the fact that these very policies have driven poverty higher
than ever, that black unemployment levels are the highest in decades,
more people are on government assistance than ever. Damn the fact
that our current president has more than doubled the national debt of
all other presidents before him with nothing to show for it, that we
owe much of that debt to China. That money generating businesses are
leaving our country in droves.
Damn the fact that he threw hard fought, won and costly victories
back to our enemies that has embolden them, That our once stable
allies don't trust the word of our leaders. That once dangerous
terrorists that had been locked up have been returned to the battle
field to continue killing again.
Damn the fact that he opens our borders to whoever wants to come
here, without due process, driving down wages for our own citizens,
while subsidizing the substandard wages of the * illegal immigrants*
with government social program hand outs that cost all other tax payers.
Damn the fact that because of him, the people have put more
Republicans in office than any time since the end of the civil war
with nothing to show for it because they fear being labeled *racist*
and give him just about anything he wants including another trillion
dollar plus budget this year.
Ollie, you have got to be kidding me! You are one of these low
information voters that have drunk the Kool-aide. Of course, any one
with a brain can figure out that the purpose of these policies is to
bring about a complete collapse of the current social and economic
system in place and replacing it with the purest form of socialism
which will not redistribute wealth but redistribute poverty and
suffering. Be careful of what you wish for. The *right* is armed and
dangerous and will only tolerate so much of the left's shenanigans.
This is exactly the mindset, the one that you voice here, that scares
the bejeebers out of me, Mike. Add that to the fact that you claim
those "on the right" are "armed and dangerous" isn't lessening this
feeling I have. That's all America needs, is a bunch of Kool Aid
drunk right wingers emerging from their villages with flaming
torches, pitchforks and no teeth (thanks to unaffordable health and
dental) and screaming for banishment of those seeking asylum in the
US and to rid the country of "socialistic" programs. You live in a
dreamworld, Mike. Not one thing you say here is, I believe, true but
it sure gives me a glimpse into one mindset present day US residents
have and it is fear driven.

Please put me on your list too. Barack Obama is one of our better
Presidents. I find it appalling that the many racists in the US
Congress see fit to obstruct him, simply because of the color of his
skin. Anyway, just for you old white racists, I would LOVE it if we
had another black man (or a black woman for a change) for President,
only this time, two black parents, and that beautiful dark, dark skin
and full lips. I hope whomever it is, they give you a big bear hug, a
wet kiss on the cheek, and knock that silly pillow case off your
pointed little head.
Merry Christmas to you, and in the TRUE spirit of Jesus Christ, May
God Bless Barack Hussein Obama!!!
