Notice they do not call it fair trade. What they have done to us is an atrocity, and I an not even counting the people with their dirty little fingers in the pie. They are there, they were the impetus for this, but I want to deal with something else, what they have done TO us.
Wetback was a term invented to describe immigrants, mainly from Mexico and a few South American countries. It literally meant that some of them swam here. But get this, back then it wasn't all that illegal. Colloquially wetback was then taken to mean someone who hasn't been here all that long. It did not take long, given our history, for it to become a derogatory term. To me, I see it as meaning someone without good command of the language, and fifty years ago the word YET would be on the end of that sentence.
I could not imagine going to a country that spoke something other than English, and I would never be stupid enough to do it without learning some of it. (their language) But no matter what, no matter how this last administration adversly affected the world opinion of this country, the huddled masses still see it as the land of milk and honey, or something similar.
Now if you are a grunt in China, putting screw A into hole B for a dollar a day, you have internet. Even though it is controlled there, you know what these things cost. So you know that you can build them but not afford them. But they do know where the major market is, and that is the US. I'd bet that if China was not so far away we would literally have Chinese wetbacks here. The way it is now they need the wherewithal to get on a plane or boat, so their backs won't be wet, but few do.
So now the societal impact of that factor and others affecting immigration has had it's effect. We don't have any problems of any import with immigrants from other nations that are not in easy swimming or boating distance. I don't see many (any) Swiss people showing up looking for Ellis Island for example. It costs MONEY for those people to get here, and I'll tell you this without the need for cites or quotes, it cost my ancestors MONEY to get here.
And they did not ask for traffic signs to include Polish, German or Slovak text, they learned the languange. That is another point, but just to set the record clear, by a lawful act this country adopted English as it's official language, actually by one vote. It was almost German, and all I can say is it would have been a better choice. German is a much more precise language, and that is why it is so hard to learn, at least for Americans.
[details somewhere else, I am not going to hijack my own thread this early]
So now we have this situation. We are the most consumptive society in the world. They know that, everybody knows that. Now I know there are cases where Mexicans come here and live with people or under a bridge and send money home. Now the question is, how can they do that ? Some turn to crime, others actually do it working, but probably a hell of alot of hours so they do not need much of a house. And it is way hotter in Mexico. There is more of this going on than most people think.But how the hell do they get money in a low skilled job beyond their own needs ?
Actually probably the way the rest of the DPs did it, work all shifts and have 15 of them living in a four bedroom house. Circa the year 2000 (word of mouth and one website I doubt is still there) all your Windows software was written in a glorious mansion in Ca. Splendorous it was. Perhaps 40 bedrooms.
But there were 200 people living there. Coded dawn till dusk, and probably and then some. Paid by the line, not by the hour. I don't know the situation now, perhaps they don't even bring them here anymore.
But back to the point, except coming from Mexico or Canada, it costs some REAL MONEY to get here. Has for a long time. So the people who come here from across the seas are :
A. Able to make a living in their own country
B. Have Parents or somebody with money
or
C. Brought here at the behest of a US Citizern or corporation.
So what do we have ? Educated people who put our educated people out of work, and that therefore lowers the pay scale. And this has been going on alot longer than most people think.
And we also have the factor that some of these people lived without all the ubiquitous advertising and getting hooked on the media, and as a result had more time for study, and actually do supersede the US counterparts who they displace. In other words, in some cases they are better qualified.
But it is still everybody's fault. I worked in a factory, boss comes up to me and says "What are we running a shoe factory ?". I told that Greek right there as I was pulling six inch chards of steel of of the soles of my shoes "What, you want me to cut my fuckin feet off ?". I was just a grunt in that company, but that did not get me fired, not at all.
Then they are setting up a machine for me to run and the setup was all wrong. I didn't know but my Father was higher up there and yelled at the owner "What the fuck are you trying to do motherfucker, cut my kid's hand off ?". He then set the job up correctly. I actually talked to the olman about this later and said "It was only a quarter inch drill bit in there" and he retorted "Yeah sure, but if it catches you by surprise, you get cut all up".
I learned alot of respect for machinery there. That thing does not stop, his problem was that it was probably a three horse drill press and if that bit didn't break if the sheetmetal I was to drill "caught" that it would be flinging around, cutting off various parts of my body.
So my olman, a high school dropout, later goes up to the bosses son, who is running about a 12 foot G&L HBM, he heard something. He told the kid "Idiot, suck that spindle in (Z axis) and move the saddle towards the head". He was never afraid, and at 69 I still don't think he ever was. He got his ass kicked, and I mean real good, but here is the thing, the fight happened and then the guy won, got him down, got the drop on him. He waited for all that to happen, and then pulled his gun and told the guy " Hit me one more fucking time and I am dropping you". Fight over, he did lose, but oh well.
Why doesn't someone try to explain how that works, about what kind of person does that. Sees a fight as a fight and does not pull a gun ? It was right there the whole time, but he didn't pull it right away like these pussy boys of today. Anyone like to field that and explain what kind of Man this is ?
Different than us, and I am the first to admit, fukum.
People who don't care about us, we don't care about. This is where it ends.
Now the nasty part. It really ain't so bad.
You enjoyed the amusement park, cotton candy, baseball agmes, football games, basketball games. You enjoted Nintendo, Xboxes and whateve else. You enjoyed how many TV shows a day ? You enjoyed playing with the dog, you enjoyed art, and music if your Parents called it that. You enjoyed an allowance, and your bicycle, and prbably a few other riding toys.
Where was the time for study ? When did you have a chance to read a book ? A dictionary or encyclopedia ? Where was the time for quadraic equations, the FOUR states of matter, the basics of how things work in the world ?
There was none and now we have to compete with people who will work for about a tenth of what we make, but now we are not even in any position to claim any kind of superiority !
What the fuck would you think is going to happen ?
So the sheeple in other countries still think this is the land of milk and honey, but it is a bunch of baloney, all based on credit, selling the country out and printing more money, thus devaluating it.
When you buy something for two grand, big money gets most of it, it might have cost them a tenth of that to build it. Think I am kidding ? I can run you through the manufacture of a few products, which would clear it up quite nicely.
So it is the rich and the poor then ? Is that how it boils down in the end ? It is starting to look like it. Rich take, poor give.
Know what eats my shorts ? They got the charity things on TV, people starving in Africa and all that shit. The only reason a US citizen would be watching that on network TV is because they can't afford cable. But they are the ones targeted. Isn't there something wrong with that picture ? (so to speak)
We need to pull ourselves up from the muck we have landed in, nobody is going to do it for us.
To do that we need to know who, if anyone, our enemies are, they must be identified. Who has destroyed the US economy ? It was not the Bush administration, though they made great strides, it has been going on for a long time.
The question now is not 'how do we stop them ?', it will soon become 'how do we stop ?'
