The opining raising its 'innovative head' on the 24 hour news agencies is hideous. Their position only panders to Wall Street while OPPRESSING the unemployed and cowering them into accepting far less than a fair wage and 40 hour work week.
There have been all kinds of innovative 'work hours' over the years to accommodate parents, especially single parents that need more time during the day to care for their children and attend school programs. So, finding a 'partner' when working is more than welcome in the venue of employment in America, but, it should never be THE WORK PATTERN of choice. Americans cannot afford to work less hours UNLESS of course they are going to be paid more. That is not happening. More and more Americans are FORCED to accept 'designer ideas' for a NEW American Work Culture and it is a pile of crap.
These 'employment innovators' are seeking to make little change in the way Wall Street does things but more wants American Labor to bow to their superiors and panhandle on their off hours.
Outsourcing is NOT the issue. The problem with unemployment in America is the lack of EQUITY in the global market place. China is dominating the GLOBAL markets making it nearly impossible to compete with American and European products thus shutting down employment in the USA. Outsourcing does a lot of damage, not just in employment, but, also in the MONIES invested in the USA that are not leaving for foreign treasuries. Outsourcing allows countries like China and India to tap into the wealth of the USA without paying the bills of our people. Their employees half a globe away are not paying income tax or purchasing American goods in their neighborhoods.
Years ago Kathy Gifford caught wrath from consumers for products with her name on them produced in Mexican Sweatshops, yet, Americans that purchase from Big Box Stores that import goods from China and India are guilty of the same thing, but, because that means targeting Wall Street and not a particular celebrity for retribution that seems to slide by without notice.
The fact of the matter is that Wall Street needs to build and employ Americans. Americans need to stop accepting products from outside the country and stop accepting customer service and otherwise from outsourced venues.
The 'Sweet Talking" Wall Streeter isn't going to get away with it and blaming the victim, the American Worker, isn't going to cut it anymore.
