[quote=desmond]Yes, flu the smart people will do fine, but, you need a strong and large middle class to pay for everything that has been promised. If not, you will will see a faster detrioration in the way we all live.[/quote]
Middle class is not going anywhere. They’ll just end up doing something else…
when an industry/direction changes, some jobs will get eliminated some jobs will get created. Some people will have to get retrained and and some people can learn on themselves. And some people give up. I don’t see what the big deal is.
I think we need a big change. I think the reason why we’re sort of stuck right now is because companies are focusing on the wrong thing. Companies are trying to squeeze there bottom lines to get higher profits. They aren’t necessarily trying to innovate. That’s why they keep focusing on cutting cost, not doing knew things.
As long as companies focus exclusively on cost, american workers will always lose, because americans aren’t willing to give up their quality of life.
I think, environmental issues aside, if we do ever take our energy sources here more, it will open the door up for more jobs too. We just need to get past all the tree humpers before we can..
