(4,667 posts)Before you go after me, you MUST read the four papers linked in my sig. 1-4 That ill show you that its both healthcare and other ser-vices (everything you cannot drop on your foot) that are involved. 70% of all jobs.
Then PM me and lets talk, I guarantee anybody that you will see what I mean in 15 minutes and that its the biggest story of the decade, bigger than Watergate.
And several Administrations and both parties are in on it.
They are trying to scam what must be 3/4 of the whole world. It involves a massive trade of jobs for markets overseas. (Where they must feel the growth will be, not here. But they are wrong, automation is occurring much faster than they thought it would 20 years ago when it started.)
And lots of people know about it because they have told me so. The media are just terrified to tell the country.
Top NGOs - NGOs whose work you read every day (or at least I do) have told me I'm right, but that they are afraid they would lose their corporate funding.
I have good notes of these kinds of conversations. Ive spoken with hundreds of people about this, including many experts and not a single one has said I was wrong.
Something this large needs to be open and transparent. That has also been said repeatedly by experts. Otherwise we are living in a bad dream of deception and that dream is not a democracy.
Their scheme to trade our jobs away for corporate rights to markets, things they will use to eliminate life saving generic drugs and so on, is wrong.
We cannot vote for the wife of the man who signed us into the W#T#O.
That will be seen as an endorsement of this scheme - one we cannot give it, not just because we don't know about it, because it should be obvious to any scientist (economics and politicians invariably fail to grok this) that given the exponentially accelerating growth in labor-saving technology it is the wrong model for the future, a future where jobs and peoples incomes are rapidly vanishing, and if they have no stellar education they will be destitute within two decades.
So the corporate model for the future that denies people inexpensive things because they are poor, is one which will cost our planet dearly and likely lead to war and its self-destruction.
Its literally a make or break issue for humanity.
There, I said it. This is important, don't ignore it.
I am totally serious
