(4,667 posts)I would be happy to call you on the phone and sit with you showing you thing after thing which proves that we're dealing with a global assault on the things we all need to get by - an attempt to take over the future world and lock it into bad choices, for corporations.
thats going to hurt the people of this country tremendously- To them, we're all failures because we werent able to get advanced degrees- like they did- and so
they want to replace us with other people who do have advanced degrees from developing nations who will work for a quarter as much.
thats how they justify it to themselves, they claim to be helping these poor countries - so called "economic integration" .
the grand scheme through the WTO is called "progressive liberalisation" but in this context its better described as irreversible privatization.
What should we do. We need to figure out a better way to bring both us and the developing nations up at the same time, and heal the wounds (they have been promising them these jobs for 20 years) while rejecting these schemes which are written into these FTAs. All the FTAs need t be dumped and new ones written- we need new leaders who have hearts and souls who are not narcissists.
