The "commies" have watched the news and gotten the gist of, He who has cheap labor, wins.
As predicted, they will play the game of monopoly for labor, as the Arabs have for oil.
Terrorism, in all flavors.
Frankly, the countries that are safe are the ones supplying the requests for cheap labor and the ones paying for the goods that are produced.
Therein is the lesson on survival.
If we let too much of our own breadwinning capacity get away, we become a threat because our labor becomes cheap as we go broke.
A new owner bought the plant in town that makes specialty papers (cigarette and bible). The first thing he did was tell the union that everyone would have to take a 10% pay cut if the plant was to stay in business.
Now these workers - many of whom had worked there for over twenty years - were making roughly twice the going rate around here. But they went out on strike rather than take the cut.
After a year of "negotiations", the plant shut down and 1000 people are out of work permanently. What kind of job can you get when you've operated the same machine for twenty years and don't know anything else? Not one making $20 per hour in North Carolina, that's for sure.
