Thanks. I am college educated and unemployed for two years. Take a

After following some of the links showing job loss and productivity
gains,
it's quite depressing, I've come to the conclusion that one of my main
goals
has been to eliminate employees' jobs. In the past year I have
eliminated
3
people and outsourced semi-finished goods from other American
companies
at
least. But guess what? Boxes of parts don't have mood swings, PMS,
holidays, don't have to be heated or cooled, and NO SCRAP! They come
in
at
a set cost with out the variables. Kind of sad that I can no longer
devote
the HR to barely breaking even ...on good days. But, specialized
suppliers
can do so much better due to their economy of scale than I can.

My newest built machine will eliminate 2 more jobs and a hefty bonus
structure. I just came to realize that the next 3 projects will be
such
a
boost in productivity that 4 or 5 more jobs are in jeopardy. So does
this
make me a bad guy? I don't really think so, but multiply this around
the
country and that's a LOT of jobs lost with a net gain in products
produced.
So, who's going to have money to BUY products in the future?




But you still have internet?


I have a high tech background...I consider it a necessity in searching for a
high tech job. Things like cable tv and new cars are a luxury, internet
access is a necessity.

Quite true. Plus its cheap entertainment..far cheaper than cable tv.
Which I dont have btw.
