What's Al Qaida's favorite football team? The New York Jets What is the FDNY's favorite song? It's raining men What did the difference between the Oklahoma City Bombing and the 9/11 attacks teach us? If you want to do a good job, outsource. What did 9/11 teach us about New Yorkers? They actually do come together in a crunch. What's the last thing that went through Mohammad Atta's mind? His ankles.

Yes, I've had enough of that bullshit for one lifetime. guess you don't want to hear the 9/11 jokes either Oh, don't stop now, Carl! Knock Knock! Who's there? 9/11 9/11 who? You told me you'd never forget!

I'd love a free trip to NZ, and would be more than willing to guide this guy up. Few sane individuals would ever pay for me in that role however.

Hey, check it out: Xenophobia on the left looks just like xenophobia on the right! Pointing out that we are subsidizing education for people who will not contribute to the taxbase is now xenophobia? Those illegals you hate want to stay here.
-
Ahhh IBM - still hiring American University trained workers; they just aren't American citizens so hey get a taxpayer subsidized education and never really put a dime into the system. Yay! It's more the old saying "He who is warm can't understand what it feels like to be cold"

To their credit policymakers are more interested in practicality than dogma and religion, which, without modelling, is what Economics mostly is. Some nuggets of wisdom there, quite a lot of feces.

Never was a union shop; paid workers well; shifted everything off to China too. Don't fret though JayB - the non-unionized lawyers and non-unionized accountants are coming next because despite economic blather, they don't do much unique either. Hopefully the McKinsey cartel of morons is next Yes. The clear implication here is that the company and all of its employees would be much better off if the company *had* been fully unionized. Of course it's crystal clear. variable Z in my model. You believe economic models, don't you? Infalliable they are. yeah, I'm sure businesses will run to develop on the empty brownfields. you'd like my cousin. he gets $200k a year to play golf, whore, kissass and update a spreadsheet. benefits of the freemarket and all. nobody else could do his job or is as qualified as him (BA from a landgrant) Now those fat salaried jobs are a sound foundation for the future of america. like the overpaid biotech people, lawyers, accountants, all the other dumb lazy fucks out there.

Oh, and you want one of the biggest reasons they shipped everything to China from Upstate? Here ya go: http://www.epa.gov/region2/cleanup/sites/nytoc_sitename.htm GE doesn't have to do things like this is China: http://www.epa.gov/hudson/ Instead they pay a fat bribe to a couple hundred ministers and do what they want. Things are not currently happening in the world because of inherent economic laws - despite the morally bankrupt and technically wrong babble from the Friedmanites - but because we've structured the world so it can function that way.

I realize you were looking for a driveby here but a history of the labor movement and upstate New York might raise your eye brows and challenge your convictions (likely unsuccesfully) Don't fret though JayB - the non-unionized lawyers and non-unionized accountants are coming next because despite economic blather, they don't do much unique either. Hopefully the McKinsey cartel of morons is next

i think that's a reasonable assessment - and the record for "freemarket" safety innovations is, well, limited
-
If they were interested in their stock price - and ergo the value produced for their owners it'd be something. Too often now management treats the stockholders, customers and non-C-street employees with contempt and run the corp for their own benefit. Current US regulation does little to preclude this. Given the majority of Wall Street and the financial sector have not the intellect to evaluate anything themselves and voila! jackshit happens!

See Ivan - that's the kind of serfdom with a whole bunch of crap unlike that socialist serfdom where they don't have any crap.

So the purpose is, as averred earlier, yet another part of the 8 year long free market religious diatribe. as doctrinaire as any "progressive" I'm not sure, at all, how you can complain about Unions costing businesses and dispute a linkage between that cost and the attendant rise in spending power of the Union member absent the usual Friedman transubstantiation.
-
that never ceases to amaze me. Hey the benefits will trickle down, I think they mean a shower of gold? Or a Golden Shower from the rich?

And then there's Germany, wealthy, prosperous, doing much better than the US.... and unionized Interpreters have unions in the US Accountants don't produce anything, they mostly just lie http://www.webcpa.com/news/Jailed-Russian-Oil-Execs-Point-Finger-at-PwC-55522-1.html As for your assertion about growth prior to unions - the desire to unionize was contemporaneous with the industrial production techniques that encouraged workers to unionize. You'd have to be either a) blind b) dumb c) a rigid ideologue to somehow think that workers didn't wish to unionize prior Hmmm. Wouldn't the claim you're making that unions are the cause of rising economic output, rather than an effect of it, be stronger without counterexamples like, say, Greece? Seems like it'd also require the trend economic performance of the said country to be stronger than the US for the entire period, and for the gap between the two to have successively widened as the percentage of the private workforce employed by unions in the US steadily decreased? As long as we're on this story - if unions were responsible for gains in efficiency, output, etc, etc, etc, for which we owe the wealth necessary to sustain the middle class - it would follow that savvy factory owners would be *mandating* that their workers unionize, since they'd instantly see increases in output without improving their production processes, equipment, marketing, etc, etc. They'd have an instant advantage over their un-unionized competition, no? Before too long, the competitive advantage would shift to a situation where every industry was 100% unionized, and those that failed to do so would have been driven out of business by their failure to do so. How does one who believes the "we owe our prosperity to unions" story reconcile the logical implications inherent in such a claim with the empirical record here in the US? Or in the relative prosperity of Germany vs Greece? I said whatever the fuck you want to rant on about feel free; if you were intellectually honest you'd look at German GDP growth 1945-2010 and marvel. Same for that matter for Greece, Italy or Japan
