240,
I'm surprised at you....
WTF is wrong with these people.
go back to school, or the damn library, and learn a marketable skill you can sell.
it's a global market. if they don't need you to work in a chinese factory, there may be an online job for you in England or Australia or somewhere else.
...what percentage of people worldwide have access to:
-schools?
-libraries?
-broadband?
...perhaps 20% of the planet's population. What about the other 5,500,000,000 people?
Are there 5.5 billion online jobs for these people if they actually did have schools, libraries, broadband?
I get so sick of seeing people meltdown because their job evaporates. Nobody OWES you a job. Either you have a marketable skill people want, or you dont. All this shit about "well, i'm owed..." is aload of crap.
...most civilized countries have a right to work built into their constitutions (Ireland does).
You can't have everyone working freelance for themselves, that leads to chronic exploitation of the vulnerable (uneducated, unskilled)... a perfectly viable option for the educated entrepreneurial minded go-getter raised in affluence with access to a free-market capitalist open economy with equality of opportunity.
But that isn't most of the world.
Unions suck for this reason. They make companies financially inefficient while paying some high school grab $85 an hour to sit on an assembly line. end rant.
...don't let Decker hear you say this.
He'll bludgeon this prejudice into the ground with all the facts, data and sources that show categorically (and empirically) that healthy unions are strongly causally linked to a higher standard of living all across the globe.
Your "rant" is so myopic and ill informed you might as well be arguing that short people should just be taller.
Again, I am surprised by such an attitude from a reasonably intelligent person... think about this.
The Luke
