Some articles have the effect of waving a red cape at a Bull, it infuriates the animal just as articles like this infuriate me! (although there is some debate as the whether it is the waving motion alone or the color red, since Bulls are supposedly color blind, that incites their ire.)
When this sorry excuse for a human being passed away a few months ago the corporate owned media reacted as though the USA had lost one of its ‘leading lights’ as opposed to one of its greediest psychopaths.
But as Steven P. Jobs of Apple spoke, President Obama interrupted with an inquiry of his own: what would it take to make iPhones in the United States?
Not long ago, Apple boasted that its products were made in America. Today, few are. Almost all of the 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads and 59 million other products Apple sold last year were manufactured overseas.
Why can’t that work come home? Mr. Obama asked.
Mr. Jobs’s reply was unambiguous. “Those jobs aren’t coming back,” he said, according to another dinner guest.
QUOTATION OF THE DAY
"They could hire 3,000 people overnight. What U.S. plant can find 3,000 people overnight and convince them to live in dorms?"
JENNIFER RIGONI, Apple's worldwide supply demand manager until 2010, on the advantages of using foreign plants.
The suicide rate at Foxconn is an international scandal…is THIS what ‘employers’ want?
Seriously good citizen, this is what the ‘us vs. them’ mindset is leading to! Animals who live on ‘production farms’ working 16 hour shifts for peanuts…and that may well be precisely what/all they get, peanut butter!
The question has disintegrated from ‘what’s fair’ to ‘who’s worth it’…and I’d hate to be the one without a large caliber, high rate of fire weapon in my hands when that question is being decided…
The human anti-exploitation law does what is necessary. It voids the employer/employee contract out of hand (and believe me, it will be tantamount to killing them!)
Nobody can ‘sell’ their labor just as nobody can buy it (for personal gain.)
But (naturally) this isn’t going to happen on its own.
Um, as the ‘Overton Window’ keeps shifting rightward (towards absolute control) the issue of ‘fairness’ is, er, modified into ‘who deserves fairness’?
Increasingly, good citizen, you are not included in these ‘calculations’.
When your humanity is no longer enough to earn you ‘just consideration’ it is time set the forces of revolution into motion.
For verily you and yours will be slaughtered like animals and with just as much ‘consideration’.
You may consider yourself a ‘child of god’ but those who would exterminate you like vermin don’t count you as a child of THEIR god! (Which is why the whole ‘god thing’ sucks…but that’s another can of worms!)
And God is certainly in the ‘drivers seat’ of the Republican nomination process!
What most of you don’t realize is ‘that god’ is the ‘righteous and angry’ god of capitalism!
Here is a god with few children, a ‘chosen few’ as a matter of fact! So few it is ludicrous to think they could win election (which is why we were switched from the one person/one vote method to the one dollar (share)/one vote system like the one used in the corporate boardroom.)
Speaking of ‘buying’ elections, what do you make of Newt’s come from behind victory in South Carolina yesterday?
Again, while we’re on the subject I’d like to remind you that only ‘one in five’ eligible voters self-identify as Republican, it is the alleged ‘independents’ that keeps swinging them over the top. (Read: allows the corporate media to keep ‘stealing’ elections!)
Um, there is no ‘delicate’ way to phrase this because the disturbingly lopsided coverage of this election process tells us something frightening.
What’s ‘up for grabs’ this coming election cycle is who ‘does’ and who ‘does not’ count as human.
The fucktard from Apple says it straight out, would American workers ‘agree’ to live in a ‘dorm’ (pen/cage) and work around the clock for (virtually) nothing?
Just an opinion here but I think everybody who has an Apple product should discard it immediately…and shun all things Apple (especially their stock!)
Why are we suffering from staggering unemployment? Because Rapacious Employers would rather work a few people 16 hours a day, 7 days a week than spread those jobs around for all who need them!
Did I mention our civilization is EXTREMELY mismanaged? (Funny thing about society, you have to 'participate' to be a member!)
Well, this is not an ‘accident’. This is what happens when ‘hooray for me and fuck everybody else capitalists take over!
They don’t give a shit if it sucks for you! That’s your problem…until YOU make it THEIRS!
And I can’t say it any plainer than that.
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
