I Love You Two

[Left Turn Only]

18. age

I am 62, but I am in favor of having socialized jobs to supplement and compete with private ones. Government run jobs would be union jobs, but without the private industry to provide competition, government run industry tends to get lazy, producing inferior products. And, with good government jobs, private industry will have to compete for the best workers, which means better pay, benefits, and working conditions. The only problem with any of this is that corporations with the help of our government have created the global economy, so that they no longer need American workers or even American markets. We would have to return to isolationism, and I don't think Americans are ready to pay twice as much for the things they buy like they do in countries like Norway. However, by starting small and only starting government industries that take on things corporations aren't willing to do because profits would be too low, we could start providing good government jobs in areas the hardest hit by globalization.
