Superogate - You have been had ! Globalist Free Traders and High Technology has betrayed the human dignity of workers and human nature in every way....
Being part of every computer generation from the first manual punch card systems to unit record processing etc etc, I am bewildered by the way we allowed the computer age to evolve.
For about the last ten years of my more than thirty years in the computer industry, I was a trouble shooter supplyer for major manufacturers and disk storage consultant. Many of my peer group threw in the towel during this period and went to other fields or retired if they could. Many turned off their computers and never turned them on again.
I helped jump start the cat scan industry, the computerized typesetting industry, others new technology involving disk storage and sold many components including calibration and diagnostic disk items directly to China. I sold many micro computers and fought to the end for the last micro computer made in the USA which featured the latest state of the art at the time. In the process, I hardly never used a micro computer myself to support my own business ventures. It was an overhead in terms of time and money. I quickly found out that it would take me about four to six hours a day for any system to manage my business. I found it better to spend this time evaluating products and keeping up on all the latest technology coming down the pike - be it good or bad. And with free trade, most of the new components coming from outside the USA were on my bad lists mainly because there were very few standards followed and our industries were based on zero defects manufacturing. Altough there is no such thing as zero defects manufacturing our design and industrial engineers tried to make it happen. It involved alot of testing and it took alot of time getting a component approved for use for the manufacturing process.
These efforts took alot of human resources and with free trade being based on impoverished workers, American engineers found that they could no longer compete with perfecting any process and the research and development was not worth the effort if someone else copied it through the manufacturing process outside the U.S.
This is where I came in as a trouble shooter supplyer and I even managed the modification of hardware that needed while in transit or residing somewhere stagnant because of lacking some particular spec. I was able to directly call engineers and other experts on the factory floor across the country and the distribution channels had a vast system of real technical support before the fact and not after the product was in house at a customer site.
Experiencing all these radical changes in a fast paced environment, I knew that the rewards of technology that we once enjoyed were lost due to free trade. Let's face it the value of work and workers is the core of free trade and this value was degraded and deflated to a point where there was no hope left for real technology being developed properly not only in the USA but anywhere in the world.
Our country, our communities and our people were much better off before the computer age came. We are now left with a micro computer controlling education in the classroom with it only having about a $150 value. How can this value work out for the betterment of all. It never will.
Prior to the computer age, we were told there would be more leisure time for all when computers came. We were told how wonderful things would be. We now do have more leisure time but if one counts all over - 18 year adults who are healthy and not in any school, medical institution or jail and who could be working but are not, one finds that almost half the country's human capacity is not being used. This is what has become of us. And we have a vast underclass needing to know how to use computers just to get a miminum wage job. The unemployment reporting is a mockery of humanity and what really happened to us all. In the late 1960s, there were plenty of $10,000 a year jobs when a first class postage stamp cost only eight cents and a nice new medium size automobile cost only $3,800. A family could find a nice home in a good neighborhood for about $25,000. Today a first class postage stamp, a new medium size car and a nice home in a good neighborhood cost about five times more but only a few individual workers are making the same equivalent of $50,000 or more a year. For the first time since 1948, we have more workers over sixty-five and teenager workers. The elder population now have take these jobs to compete.
In the present times, it would be impossible for me to be a trouble shooter supplyer.
There is no way that I can get information fast enough to offer solutions for troubled manufacturing systems and some of my main clients were micro industrial computer manufacturers who are no longer in business. No one asks how could all these businesses that lasted more than thirty to fifty years all go out of business at just a short period in our history.
In the past, I got information faster with Teletype systems than with the Internet and just by the telephone when we were able to talk to a human person with a direct line to them right on the manufacturing floor.
The internet is a laugh but it seems to be the only game in town and people are hooked onit and other electronic gadgets that do very little for the good of mankind. In the 1980s, the French were the first to establish an internet in their country. It was called the Minitel system with almost every person in France having the system in their homes. The French gave up on it quickly and many just use the internet on a limited basis knowing how limited it really is. However, when it becomes the only game in town, people with common sense have nowhere else to go..
In the end human nature and our societies have been degraded. The value of workers and work has too with the real Free Enterprise system smashed. A silent depression is hidden by layers of statistics that do not add up to the real world and people.
