Reality Hits Tech Firms

May 2013, Motorola Mobility, is opening a smartphone factory in Texas, bring jobs back from China … thus joining a small but growing movement toward bringing technology jobs to the United States.   This follows decisions by major tech firms, including Lenovo, Apple and Google, to add U.S. manufacturing capacity after more than a decade of shipping millions of jobs going to east Asian factories known for low wages and minimal labor protections.

OK… you read about the need for this (right in this blog) and now the question is the effect it will have on the GOP & its outsourcing goals.  Will the GOP continue to seek to bankrupt the nation, or will it boot out Tea Party types & ditch the Conservative bias against educating our people & controlling international commerce from our shores.

Of course, having shipped jobs to China has boosted their economy and might even bring them back to the 1300’s when they gave, and mandated, paper money to the world – along with providing moveable type which brought about the printing press and allowed the west to catch-up.

Hum … five decades ago, we were China, and China was the west of the middle ages… now things are reversing.  Is it possible that the idiots have finally realized their self destruction will not make them richer?   Have they realized they cannot control half the world’s population?   That they really need American Democracy to work?

NAH… GOP isn’t that bright, and they reflect the mind of their corporate backers … who aren’t that bright either… consider… when we had energy problems in the 70’s, Ford made one of the most efficient cars in the world – the Ford Cortina, 35 mpg on regular fuel and city driving … and Ford blew it by pushing crap vehicles as oil prices were on the rise… and continued to blow it.  But so did our auto industry … and Asia moved in.

How did the government – Reagan, Bush, & Bush – act?

DUH, they went to war and doubled the National Debt.   To give the people NOTHING!  Will they now destroy medical care?  Reduce income for a quarter of population (elderly) the people who support the local stores, and the economy … you know, the ones who rise the tide by putting money under the keels of the boats, as opposed to dumping it on the decks and flooding the holds in the idea that the leaks will trickle down and rise the bloated boats.

OH well…
