Of course, none of these increases will be passed down to the consumer.
Right?
(crickets chirping)
Most college degreed employees I know have no heartburn with performing manual labor. Manual labor isn't a degrading task.
As an observation, those I know who are humble and perseverant, with the patience to develop wisdom from long difficult hours of concentration and indentifiaction in the world through faith in Christ, also don;t mind perforing a service where best applied and even in the least of things.
The socialists and other arrogant people who demand more respect, frequently happen to be the same people who perceive manual labor as degrading.
I wouldn't put it that way. We NEED entry-level jobs for high school kids to learn about the REAL world while on summer break.
please provide the phone number and name of a college graduate person you know who cleans toliets at office building or hotel. I am sure you know dozens.
You can send it via private mail.
President Bush won't veto this one.
Inevitably, our economy will become less and less flexible due to ever increasing socialism.
At least the Republicans were able to slow it somewhat.
But now it's free for all, the Marxists are now in charge of our economic policy.
You see anybody picking corn anymore? How 'bout wheat?
You think lettuce is far behind? Already half the jobs you mentioned (stocking, canning, trucking, picking) are automated (canning, picking). Menial labor jobs ARE going away and have been going away since the industrial revolution - get used to it, or get left behind.
And yes, I will see automated stockers in my life-time (they already exist in more technical fields, everyday grocery stores won't be far behind). I will also see hotel staff, wait staff, field workers replaced by machines in my lifetime. My grandfather saw the advent of electricity, automobiles, flight, atomic energy and space travel. I will see the advent of personal hover craft, personal robots, commercial space travel. Great thinkers brought about those changes in my grandfathers lifetime and great thinkers are bringing about those changes in my lifetime. No amount of naysayers can stop it and no amount of illegal immigrants in my country will stop it either. The only people that will stop it are those that vote in people that make laws against it.
Very few degrees in many of the arts and human sciences actually have a financially solvent career path.
