workers informed they are losing their jobs to mexico on video

[FeloniousMonk]

I'm not aware of many mass shooting around plant closures. There has been a lot of plants that have moved over the years. It would cause a lot of stress and anxiety for people I'm sure though.

(crony)Capitalism is part of it, but globalization and the dismantling of national boundaries is bigger than just that.

Yeah, it's about appropriation...

Mexico is our neighbor.
So far, we've only used them
for agricultural, structural
& drug labor. We dismantled
their culture & stability.
Now it's time to throw em
a bone & see if they want the
whole skeletal structure.

From there.... ONTO THEIR SOULS

 

[Rod1]

You should have listened.

You do realize that in terms of bilateral trade the US beats Mexico in terms of manufacturing goods right?

 

[Rod1]

The value of money over the value
of human life makes it a VERY easy
situation.

The value of money has squat to do with a globalized economy, they moved their operations to Mexico, they still need to repatriate the dollars they make and thus be taxed

Wealth disparity grows because Americans have been brainwashed by corporations into thinking that socialism is evil.

 

[Fawlty]

It would be very tempting to do everything possible to screw them over. Of course you'd get ratted out for it, but anything to hurt the bottom line would be a warning to bigwigs of the future.

International power consolidation I'd say. Communist empire was the same way. Not sure if that is what you mean by appropriation.

American culture has already be largely materialized, but yeah it spreads.

From a North American perspective I think they are modelling it after the EU concept of regionalization as opposed to nationalization. Open borders (trade barriers as well as flows of people) allows for the merger of nations, peoples, and cultures over time. It tends to dissolve them though.

Is Bernie going to try and do something about Nafta?

Nah. He knows we need Our
drugs. How else will national
anesthesia remain while he is
ordering drone strikes in syria?

You got their tax papers?

I agree with your second point.
but also,

wealth disparity grows because
we find our value in our material.
same reason why the dude
dodging bullets in inner cities
has the same iphone as the
movie stars they see on screen.
we all mindlessly take part in
this cycle of consumerism
& it's subsequent destruction
of environments, people and cultures

Tends to dissolve?
No, it is INTENDED to dissolve
when money is the catalyst
behind cooperation

Q: What do you think about the new TPP trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

SANDERS: I voted against NAFTA, CAFTA, PNTR with China. I think they have been a disaster for the American worker. A lot of corporations that shut down here move abroad. Working people understand that after NAFTA, CAFTA, PNTR with China we have lost millions of decent paying jobs. Since 2001, 60,000 factories in America have been shut down. We're in a race to the bottom, where our wages are going down. Is all of that attributable to trade? No. Is a lot of it? Yes. TPP was written by corporate America and the pharmaceutical industry and Wall Street. That's what this trade agreement is about. I do not want American workers to competing against people in Vietnam who make 56 cents an hour for a minimum wage.

Q: So basically, there's never been a single trade agreement this country's negotiated that you've been comfortable with?

SANDERS: That's correct.

The language and tone this guy uses makes me want to puke. Especially when I know he gets paid to do it.

"Strictly a business decision"

Yeah fuck you you selfishly willing corporate slave.

Sure, yes. It is intended.

It's not just about money though. It's primarily about power at the highest level, which is one reason I think the end game is international socialism. That is, of the totalitarian order. It's not just that the few want to own everything, but ultimate they want to control everything and everyone.

Money is power.
The trickster's grandest illusion....

What you're describing is not
socialism. Otherwise, it would
place value on the individual
within a system. There is no
value of the society under a
totalitarian order.

...just manipulation through power

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Don't worry, fast food chains will wind up finding a spot for these guys at 1/2 the salary and none of the benefits.
So we won't be losing jobs....

Well yea, but that's what happens. It wasn't communism in the USSR, it's not communism in China, it's not Capitalism in the West, and it wouldn't be socialism implemented either. Anything implemented in the context of Oligarchy and empire turns out that way.
