Is a person entitled to make enough to raise a family using the skillset of the average 4th grader?
in a society where you’re given free education through 12th grade?
Seriously, all these people whining about “my job was outsourced to Mexico or Cambodia” – - – if some uneducated, barefoot, dirty peasant, living in a house made of mud with a thatch roof can do your job as well as you can, is that something you want everyone else to know?
Even the jobs going to India – call center, help desk – - you look at that as a career, something you should be able to support a family doing?
I know not all manufacturing jobs are the same – some of it is somewhat high-skill – - – those are the jobs that are typically kept; it’s mostly the assembly and QC that’s moved offshore.
That’s basically sorting.
On what basis did you decide that you’re entitled to a lifetime job with a salary on which you can raise a family, and benefits and a retirement plan, all for sorting things for 7 hours a day?
How did we get to a point where millions of us expect no more of themselves?
