It is normal to go through boom and bust in any economy, this time I believe it's different.
While we will see some "boom" again, it will be limited in it's scope. It won't reach the "everyman" on the street like it used to. New wealth will be largely retained by an ever smaller percentage of the people. High unemployment may well remain for decades (plural) to come. It may never recover, even as the "farms" grow larger, GE and other corporations become more powerful, Unions will make a come back. Non Union folks will have a more difficult time securing work, there will be those with good jobs and those with no jobs. Those inbetween (middle class) will shrink in size. The very fabric of America is changing before our eyes.
But hey, it's OK, get out there and play while there's still time! Buy "stuff". No worries here! The only people "going down" are those worthless leaching off the Government folks, screw them! Along the way, you might want to consider how quickly how easily you to could become one of those "worthless folks sucking at the public trough." It just happened to millions of folks who never considered that option their entire life, then BAM, overnight, there they are. |
Gee, you mean the end result of all the government regulation imposed on farming over the past 50+ years is that it's now almost entirely industrialized?
(BTW, your correct it is) So much for government looking out for the little guy... Goverment pissed and moaned about the plight of the immagrant farm workers, now we just import anything that can't be machine harvested.
As for the current unemployment, how many companies got rid of employees they needed? - Think about it... Business is nothing more than real life, if your viable you get to stay. Life is hard, get used to it. On this planet nature always wins, we should follow it's example. Man's arrogance is that we feel we know better than the very system that created us. Freedom results in suffering, toil, and elation. I choose freedom and have little need of government's assurance of a nice, safe boring existance.
I speak from experiance, you see I've had to change my business model over the years to adapt to the changing times. Watched a lot of my competitors drop off the grid over that time. Still here, for now.
