2016 U.S. presidential election- matching programs and slogans for improving the life of the middle and working class
08/04/2016
Ultimately politicians have to deliver and you need well planned programs, specifics for action, to build infrastructure, to create jobs, and to increase wages and incomes for people working in the service economy and in manufacturing industries- how this happens as anger is being vented through slogans and the wall itself becomes a metaphor for those left out in the last 2 decades of tech based prosperity, is itself a question in the 2016 U.S. presidential elction.

A realization that the idea of America transitioning to a services based economy without impairing jobs was fundamentally wrong
04/17/2006
The need for a strong and growing manufacturing base in the U.S. is one key realization for business leaders from the heads of Boeing, Intel and GE, and other business leaders to leaders in government. Failure to do this simply breeds a sense of pessimism about the future and creates an economy that leaves many productive people jobless, creates unsustainable trade deficits and foreign borrowing. Jeffrey Immelt says this in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post on the day he is appointed to head the President's Council on Jobs.

The hollowing out of Canada's manufacturing sector in Ontario province under the Conservative government and the general election of 2015
10/19/2015
The area around London, Ontario and Toronto, has seen a large loss in manufacturing jobs in the oil boom years. With the 20% decline in the Canadian currency after a fall in oil prices in 2014-2015, the manufacturing sector is seen as being so weakend that it has failed to benefit from the improvement in competitiveness. With no plan from the Conservatives under prime minister Harper other than going with the status quo, voters are shifting to the Liberal Party under Justin Trudeau. Trudeau says he will run a small deficit to invest in infrastructure that will help manufacturing.

The other roots of increasing inequality in the U.S.- global competition and sourcing, the case of the U.S. auto industry and manufacturing workers
03/24/2015
Auto parts imports into the U.S. from Mexico have increased by 86% since 2008, more than doubled for China. As wages rise in China, India is the next source country for low cost automobile parts from auto industry hubs in Gujarat and Tamilnadu, placing continuous downward pressure on manufacturing wages for the next decade, and the next. Parts imports were $32 billion in 1990, $138 billion in 2014. Workers in manufacturing make as low as $10 an hour today, similar to workers at Wal-Mart. An entire generation of manufacturing workers are now shifted from middle class to lower class from their parents generation to their own, reducing educational mobility in the American system and fewer opportunities for improvement. As more jobs are created in manufacturing than in IT related industries this is a significant hurdle for improving wages and employment in the U.S.

Workers in U.S. manufacturing plants in 2015- global competition, U.S. competitiveness and downward pressure on wages
03/24/2015
Workers who were once in the middle class are now lower class as conditions have changed in the automobile and other U.S. manufacturing plants. As more jobs are created in manufacturing than in IT related industries, this is a significant factor in improving U.S. employment and wages. There is an 86% increase in imports of parts from Mexico since 2008, over double for China.

Germany and the child care education workers strike in June 2015- national priorities and a question on wages of service workers
06/05/2015
Should child care workers required to have 3 years of training and often a college degree make the same as entry level workers in manufacturing, even after they have worked in the field for many years, is the question about national priorities that is being posed in Germany in 2015. Has Germany's economic revival left behind many workers outside manufacturing, who lack the strong representation of manufacturing unions, including workers in a field so closely allied with education- early child care education which takes place in child care centers.

Andy Grove and the scaling up at home that American companies need to do.
05/29/2010
Andy Grove brushes off talk of sending technologies and jobs much needed at home to China, with the talk he hears of "a China strategy." He doesn't see how an America with high paying jobs and mass of unemployed could work. He says American companies have failed to scale up, the way Intel did in the seventies. For every Apple employee there are 10 employees in China working on Mac's, Iphones, and Ipads. The idea of manufacturing as not important is misguided and he would like to see America rebuild its industrial base.

Yuan Revaluation for China's Own Sake
Wall Street Journal 10/02/2010
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
