No One Stole Your Job
(Once again, this impromptu rant may be very brief and off-the-cuff, but it needed saying.)
There is no such thing as "shipping jobs overseas." "Jobs" aren't a thing. You can't ship them anywhere. You can't own a "job," and no one can "steal" a job from you. A "job" just means that someone has decided to trade money for your services. It doesn't mean they have any obligation to keep doing so.
People who have chosen to trade with you in the past can decide to trade with someone else instead. While this may be inconvenient for you, this is not an act of aggression against you. It doesn't make you a victim of anything. You have no right to a "job," any more than the local convenience store has some right to have you buy lunch from them.
Speaking of which, unless you go out of your way to spend more money on inferior products and services, it is hypocritical to whine about anyone else looking for a better deal somewhere else. If someone in Mexico or China can do what you do, at a lower price and/or higher quality, then people should trade with them instead of you. And if you want the force of "government" used to prevent that, for your benefit but to the detriment of everyone else, you're an immoral twit.
Nuff said.
Jobs are created and lost everyday. It's the ones that do not improve and have a scarcity mindset that ultimately remain jobless. If you lose your job, learn a new skill. If you don't like your job, build your own job by working for yourself.
Of course, first of all get the government out. I'm still mad that I paid $3 in taxes today ONLY for my dog's food. Dog food... Really?
Not surprisingly, when we consider statism and it's reliance on propaganda, economics has been made unnecessarily complex. Thanks for cutting through all the bs Larken. Each individual should ask themselves if they have something of value to offer (how you know is if people will pay you for it). Do you believe in/enjoy offering that something of value (how you know is if you look forward to doing it)? If the answer to either of these is negative train/educate yourself until the answers are positive. Once achieved, assist anyone attempting same.
Immoral twits can't compete in a free market, so they beg Daddy Govt to save them from competition.
Good points, good points....but THEY TOOK ARE JERBS!!!!!!!! When the game is rigged should we complain about the unfairness of a certain sector? If we fix all these problems at their root then these "problems" aren't problems anymore. If you want to root for your team I mean nation you won't see the real picture. Root for mankind, all of mankind and do what you can do.
If you need the state to protect your job you're a statist. If the state is needed for you to keep your job I suggest finding a new career choice because your job is either worthless or your skills are not worth much.
Perfectly said! I think the majority of the British population should read this ! 💯🐒
Well people like you are trying to steal the jobs of people employed in honest money printing, for example. And the whole crypto community is at it.
Always loved the Heinlein quote
“There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to the public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute not common law. Neither individuals not corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back.”
I read your article but I like the last part of this article. thanks for your post.
But muh magical government borders transforming good trade on this side into evil if involving someone on the other side!
How to confuse a "Murica First!" doofus: Suggest that he should buy products from an American company based in a foreign country.
A decrease in worldwide poverty has come at the expense of the western middle class. I'm all for moving jobs to places eager to take them for less pay, but something needs to be done about the void left behind too.
Adapt, improve, progress. And, most importantly, get the damn "government" out of everything. A HUGE chunk of the "cost of living" is artificial and unnecessary, and comes from the "taxes" and "laws" of the parasite class.
I agree that would be ideal. So many arms of the government seem to have become nothing more than job programs. It's a very complex issue that needs to be tackled from all sides I think. What do you think should be done to offset job loss due to automation?
I'll chime in if I may .. automation brings more goods for less cost.. So get the damn "government" out of everything (lol) and the cost of living will fall and the people will receive the fruits of their labor. We will all work much less (if we choose) and live much better.
