Although I do not like the morals of your husband or your condonation of such, the jokes being thrown around about how Bill will run the white house anyway and how you will have to let him have whatever women he wants there doing whatever, ......maybe there is some hope in you yet!
Now economic leaders of our country have been naively claiming that the reason our country is having so much economic strife for hard working Americans is the subprime slime. Let me make it perfectly clear, subprime slime is NOT the reason we are in economic strife!
Hillary, it is my belief that technology and automation, although they make our lives easier, they are removing the major source of income for the majority of hard working Americans who have had jobs in the past! Things are getting more and more automated. It won't be long til a person in this world will not have to move hardly a finger to get all of his or her needs to live! This is happening worldwide not just in the US! Only where we value human life is the cost so great! Non insured countries that do not value human life do not care about the condition of their citizenry. Jobs are becoming, at best, temporary situations, mostly of the past.
Right now we are in a transition to that jobless society in civilized countries of the world, but we are being blindsided by the automation and technology! GM already makes a car that you don't have to drive, for God's sake! It is not in production yet, but it will be. Can you picture a Taxi company with no taxi drivers? It is coming, Hillary! And so, who gets the money? Who deserves the money? Will the invisible driver get paid? lol
Our jobs are going away! The illusion of the past 5 years rise in business profits, in stock market situations, has lulled us into thinking we were in a boom time! Actually, we were and we are in trouble! The need for humans to help humans is going away! And it is happening right under our noses. And since we are still multiplying, what happens to people without jobs? Do we just try to find something wrong with them and qualify people for disability for life?
I think we need to add something to the Bill of Rights....and the Constitution. Americans have the right and shall not be discriminated as citizens, from getting a subsistence to live off of that is fair as long as they are willing to give reasonable help to their fellow citizens! If a person is living within their means, they deserve food, shelter, clothing at a minimum! Job or no job!
We can't have unemployment benefits running out! Easy for rich people to let that happen. And we should not be calling it unemployment benefits. That is a negative term. What people get to live on is deserved, not questionable, not an "un" anything! Humans are what they are, they are definitely not "uns", huns, honey, sweeties maybe, but definitely not "uns". Anybody who wants to be a citizen and wants to help others the best that they can is no "un" and should not be considered "un" anything. The value they possess is an inalienable right! Time and time again civil mankind has asserted this!
Subprime slime was driven by greedy people wanting to squeeze a last foreseeable dime of the working public before it disappeared from their investment radar screens! But, with or without subprime slime, we were headed for troubles. It would only be a matter of a few years or less as the technological automation boom overtakes our means to support our lives, to feed ourselves to maintain our households. In an effort to build and sell the promise of investment structures, the investors overbuilt in a time where the economy was beginning to withdraw due to an inverted future profit future growth automation curve. Actually, most of society knows we are headed into attempting to get humans to own what they need and use what resources they need, wasting less, recycling more etc. Perhaps there is a greater plan to bulldoze houses and herd people into huge government projects in the near future? We have worked ourselves out of meaningful employment...most of us! It is natural when you have developed natural human ingenuity and spunk.
So my question is what do you want to do about this automation technology human capital valuation dilemna?
My suggestion for the short term til we figure this out wholly is this. We need an adult citizen rebate not tied to income, of $5000 to every married couple below 110k and $2500 to every single citizen below 85k, and we need it this year!
Long term we have a need for a subsistence program unlike any ever taken on in the history of mankind to get started. Something on the lines of Social Security, Welfare, Pensions, etc, but with the purpose of growth of human intellectual gathered effort of the Amercian public, expanding automation and technology with a goal of making a day when humans cannot die!
Then we need legislation that would make it mandatory for people to seek work/education opportunity from home at least via internet but for employment agencies to either get them work or get them a subsistence allowance to live off of or pay for the education program that would get them work, period. Nobody deserves to starve! Nobody deserves to lose their livelihood if they dont have the capacity to fit our society's opportunities to work. Retired people who seek work in mental jobs that are willing to train for those jobs who do not want to spend their life's savings to continue their education should not be required to do so to get training benefits and to qualify for course studies in whatever they want to learn about. Studies should be driven by citizen demand to learn, especially for health and automation to preserve our civilization and it's health. There should not be effort to limit what a person's value is as far as being worthy of living and learning. You want to learn, you get given the opportunity to learn and take courses and get degrees to get access to information to learn for society's benefit, civilization's benefit and become proficient without regards of means to pay for these things.
Insurance costs make it more expensive to keep people physically working because if they get hurt, they cost us as a society more money, the value of life there. Armed Forces responsibility is being overtaken by automation. Remote controlled robotic machines are beginning to fight our wars and we are losing less and less soldiers as a result! So dangerous jobs are being done by more and more robotic creations. It is cheaper to automate.
I fear that people will chose to eat greater quantities of cheaper processed foods that will increasingly put them in a genocidal path to terminal cancers if subsistences are not increased.
My fear is that the economic strife of our automated country will drive a wedge between the haves and the have nots because the "lower" haves will be losing what they have because the have nots will pay less and less tax because they cannot afford it and gradually the people on the edge of "have" are going to fall into the pit of not having. This will drive a wedge further into a place, an issue our country has not tackled before this, at least not on the scale we are about to experience! And that issue is religious discrimination, particularly Christian versus non Christian. I do fear this difference especially in a pressured society that has not realized it's true enemy and it's possible friend....automation. It has been going on, but it has the capacity to get much worse. Governments are already using Christian Churches for distribution of governmental services. This is not separation of church and state!
We are headed for a time when the organized social religious cult engines in this country that have presided predominantly over the marriages and deaths of the general populous over the years, probably meaning well, licensed by the federal government, organizations that at have based themselves over time on false premises, unproven mythology, that require their parishoners ....at least in principle....to swear to undebated undiscerned illogical conclusions about life(such as the infallibility of Jesus Christ for all his life), may wind up deciding who gets what and who does not, becoming official distribution centers of necessities and helping their own first! This would be a continued abhorrence of liberty and Constitutional Rights! But unless it is checked, unless we repeal the Privacy Act of 1974 provisions that allowed people to hire their own and give preference to Christians, the status quo of that time and now in organization of the populous, without any recourse for that favor showing, hidden behind legal non collection of statistics in the work places, then we are headed for severe religious discrimination! And if you and other legislators don't do something about it, you are cowardous bullies, enjoying your self appointed "chosenness" and I am sick inside of that slime! For I am an honest man who seeks honest humanity!
The strength of our society and economy lies in its ability to automate. Automation is putting us out of jobs. Loss of jobs means people without enough to live on. If we have enough resources to feed the public and there is need, the public must be fed, clothed and shelterred from here on out or we have no country! The government must print money and allow credit for people to live on! If not, you may as well kiss this country and possibly civilization goodbye.
This idea of National Debt is fubar. The people of this country, humanity in general are deserving of being paid forward! If our society can help parents have 13 kids, then they can help the people who are living now too. This is about humans right to a living, not about automation beings or robots needing food and water and necessities! Stagflation is going to rise until we decide that human capital is worthy and decide we are going to grant humanity, humans, value that deserves to be paid for living, for existing and hopefully adding further to intellectual development and a better society out into the future. Human intellectual capital must be held as the primary source of income for all Americans from this point forward! I am not talking degrees, so much as efforts in directions of study and collaborative efforts, orgainzed or less organized to help humanity grow in the knowledge to sustain itself.
At some point in time into the future, human brains will be instantly linked. We are not there yet, but it is coming. We need to prepare for that day. In that day, there will be no Congress, no President, no leader....only pure instant consensus and action on the behalf of humans moment by moment collectively. Money in businesses is sitting on the sidelines because there is no place to go. Automation has made it possible to do things with less and less capital. Hence a stock market that is collapsing and money being borrowed hand over fist to try to stay in business for some whose businesses are stressed.
We already have many people doing things that don't need to be done and being paid to do them. If we make it a right to live and be healthy, then it will become a crime to limit someone's privilidge to have what they need to live on and we will be killing all the people who cannot get a job? These people will become sick and overcome our healthcare system. Humans have multiplied so fast and done such a good job of making things easier for themselves, making huge profits....some of them, that now we have a major paradigm shift staring us right in the face! The old opportunities have fled. The new opportunities are going to disappear almost as fast as the old ones did. What makes a person worthy of a living, worthy of a paycheck?
Intellectual Property Development may become the last bastion of human profitability, but that is only going to last for a short while, possibly less than 10 years. An idea about automation can be quickly put into production in a matter of months these days. Within the next few years, we are looking at a far faster rate. Again, humans are getting quite crafty in their organization and timely manufacturing capabilities etc. Can we see it? What are we going to do about it?
Government Welfare, or making government administrative jobs for people so that they have a job is counterproductive to energy costs, counterproductive to population movement necessity, counterproductive to Global Warming goals, etc. If you pay people to stay home and or gather to help each other in civil law abiding neighborhoods, educating them to care for one another and build and share their knowledge playfully with one another, it is cheaper in the long run. Internet can be used as a communication method. Naturally, people should be encouraged to move into more urban areas, less costly to commute to get their food and services etc. Gradually, the great mansions of the past should be discouraged They waste human resources. Gathering in places like Community Centers should be encouraged more.
So, that is my outlook. I am just a retired electrician mechanic that observes the world around him. I believe in healthy living. I believe in living by being as respectful of others as possible. I believe that people will do the right thing if they are presented with the proper evidence that things are moving the way a professor says they are. I think, if our government officials look at the statistics, they will conclude, as I have, that we are on the edge of a new Age, an Age we have actually already enterred a while back that we had no idea would bring us to this point..most of us didn't. We are at the age of automation that is erasing the need for us to do anything. An age where we are going to become part of the intellectual communication, intellectual bonding of an automation that will head mankind into near future deathless society! Meanwhile we have to decide we are worthy of it and make the laws and society move in the direction of the balance that it takes to provide for that society! Too long? Do you mean that Hillary is too uneducated, too mixed up, too self centerred, to read and be able to comprehend? I think you might be right! I support Obama for President! Good for you, Sparky. You wrote a long, boring pile of streisand that no one will read. Feel better? i think its too long i couldn't be bothered to read that much. Long boring load of crap. I thin she would not even know about it. It would be commited to the flames almost immediately, and then marked on a tally sheet as more hate-mail. first, do you really think she or any other politician would read it? secondly, you really like to go on and on dont you. none of those politicians care one bit what you or i or anyone else thinks. they dont even acknowledge our existance except when its election time again, then promptly forget again. I'd eliminate the first paragraph. Sen. Clinton, and those who admire her, would be turned off from the start, and they may stop reading before they get to the important stuff.
You call it an "open letter," but as others have mentioned, it's too long and detailed to be called a "letter." Certainly it would never be published on the "Letters to the Editor" page of a newspaper. With a little editing, it might be a good magazine article.
Your views would be considered "radical" in this day and age. (In the sixties, not so much.) But I admire your independent thinking, and you might be on the right track.
EDIT: In response to your postscript, I too prefer Obama to Hillary. But the bulk of your letter is not specifically a condemnation of Hillary. Rather, it presents ideas which could be useful to any president. Therefore, the first paragraph seems out of place. Long boring load of crap. And she won't even look at it, she has bigger fish to fry. Couldn't bother to read it all, so I'm sure she won't. "Condonation" isn't a word - try "condoning", though I'm not sure even that is good grammar in that sentence. As for the ideas in the half I skimmed, sounds like you're a Chavista. Good luck with that. She will NEVER read it.
You really think she CARES?
You said it best when you talked about the
"Haves" and the "Have Nots"
Hillary's always glad to hear her socialists ideals
are working. It's exactly what her and Billy have
devoted their whole life to.
Guess what side of the coin Hill and Bill will be on?
It certainly won't be yours or mine! Couple problems with your letter. Number 1, those automated jobs, give jobs. They give technical jobs. People have to control or maintain those machines. Plus they have to be programmed, someone also has to make the software for that. What about the people who work in factories to make those parts? They get jobs. It's not an all loss. However, I can see where your gripe is at.For the most part in this world, a person with a B.A can have trouble finding jobs. The problem with jobs can lay because of the war and spiked prices. Also,the extension of academic programs. Making people to go to school longer, and such. Also, the gov has cut grant and aid money already. Schools tuition is getting higher. The national average for a 4 year degree...is now 5. Also, look at SSI( i am only 22, but from what you hear and read ). Social security is doing horrible. That can be attributed to the baby boom, plus bush cut back on funding gov workers. He also cut back on research. Why? Well, it is because of the war. See, our taxes go towards the gov, but they can spend whattever they want. However, in doing this, they need to cut a program, and that is research and education. Far as social security, look at your check, it's a payroll tax. Well, the war is dipping into this tax. So, weither you are old, disabled, in school, graduated, or working, you are probably are going to get stiffed some way. It's not hilary and the automated bots, it's our system, Capitalism. |
