Manufacturing employment. Yes it's true, just one of the ways that our 'elite' (or our owners if one prefers) have sold us out is by moving _some_ manufacturing to China and then selling those goods back to the US but with larger margins.<BR/><BR/>But how large has this trend been compared with another huge trend and one that's been going on for longer? Increasing automation and productivity in manufacturing. Increasingly sophisticated US production (and the US is still the world leader in manufacturing value added and by a large margin) requires less workers.<BR/><BR/>If you break down those yr-by-yr productivity growth numbers, and whether large or small growth yrs, the most consistent contributor is manufacturing.<BR/><BR/>I think of it like agriculture. Manufacturing, like agriculture, is a sector we're leaving behind - but not in the sense that its output is trending to zero.<BR/><BR/>In fact output is trending steeply upwards. But employment is shrinking.<BR/><BR/>US agriculture is producing more (and by far) than it ever has and with what? It _was_ 3% of the population and is now probably less.<BR/><BR/>This is the 'domestic' story and I believe it to be as compelling as the international one.patflahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146408328788278621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102429195693595750.post-34270822387069877922008-11-20T23:48:00.000+02:002008-11-20T23:48:00.000+02:00Dink said - (tell citizens that from 2010 forward ...Dink said - (tell citizens that from 2010 forward they can't create more than 2 kids so the # of people doesn't change in the future),<BR/><BR/>You hit the nail on the head. The #1 issue facing us is overpopulation. However, there is a problem with your calculation.<BR/><BR/>Even if every couple has only 2 children, the population will still continue to grow exponentially - especially as life expectancy increases. <BR/><BR/>The only way to stop population growth is for people to have 1 or 0 children. If a couple has 2 children, the couple would have to die immediately - just to keep population stable.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699631321375411383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102429195693595750.post-92189842244979295562008-11-18T02:08:00.000+02:002008-11-18T02:08:00.000+02:00The money system we have is all screwed up beacuse...The money system we have is all screwed up beacuse...1 The creation of the federal reseve in 1913..2 If you take a close look at the way the system works money can only be created by dept!...and last ..3 The more consumer dept and the more goventment bonds purchased by the fed...the more we debase our currency... how can we stop it....lol...ha ha ...good luck with that one..maybe we can reinstate the greenback...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102429195693595750.post-31401856699898315992008-11-18T00:50:00.000+02:002008-11-18T00:50:00.000+02:00Well, dink, so...as a MAN you are going to selfles...Well, dink, so...<BR/>as a MAN you are going to selflessly work toward MY liberation, whether I desire it or not ?<BR/>And...<BR/>Am I to understand that I am useless and dangerous ?<BR/>Thank you, dink.<BR/>That's about the greatest compliment anyone has paid me yet on this blog.<BR/>I must be doing/saying something right..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102429195693595750.post-60244866287076411592008-11-17T21:16:00.000+02:002008-11-17T21:16:00.000+02:00Debra,Your mother's quote is offensive.

My point...Thai--<BR/><BR/>Who said anything about oxycontin? <BR/><BR/>My point-- and I believe you missed it completely-- was that America doesn’t have the Time or the resources to fix the current system. As a result we won’t be able to institute the kind of sustainable system that Hell seems to want to put in place. That said, we are faced with a POTENTIAL Black Swan which has the ability to tear asunder the economic fabric which we rely on, which would have disastrous repercussions on the social and political systems we are part of.<BR/><BR/>Taleb chimes in. He writes; I am “very conservative when I am under threat from a negative Black Swan.” (p.296). <BR/><BR/>So... if the basic necessities of survival are threatened by a potential Black Swan economic collapse (and they would be since our agriculture policy is not sustainable without government assistance and a version of our economic system), it seems reasonable to be conservative and focus on the mediocristan world of self sufficiency (see permaculture).<BR/><BR/>The problem with such a focus-- and this is the only reason I brought up happiness-- is that it is a less desirable option when compared to the luxuries permagrowth affords us (oxycontin / cheap international travel). In order to make the transition to self sufficiency it would be necessary to change the cultural value system AWAY from the Ipod, and TOWARD more mundane pleasures like “birdsong”.<BR/><BR/>We have to come to grips with the fact that we fucked up, and put high tech innovation and growth on the backburner for a few decades. I said in my last post that, “it’s Time to start dreaming a different dream”. MY dream of the future is one in which every man woman and child grows up in a household that is more or less self sufficient in terms of food and energy production. It would splinter the social fabric into many small enclaves, BUT.. would increase potential pragmatic invention in one's garage.<BR/><BR/>and if it doesn't work... what’s wrong with a little opiate derived happiness?<BR/><BR/>“John Adams, irreverent to the end, declared that, if it could ever be demonstrated conclusively that no afterlife existed, his advice to every man, woman, and child was to “take opium.””Cottonblogginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346520373344361444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102429195693595750.post-28791407677698563332008-11-15T11:27:00.000+02:002008-11-15T11:27:00.000+02:00Hellasious say that there was a decision to elimin...Hellasious say that there was a decision to eliminate American industry to eliminate labor unions and the middle class.

Many lament the low savings rate as if this is something attributable to selfish life styles when it seems to me that the fact of the matter is: why put your fiat FRNs in a bank account where you are guaranteed to lose money? No bank offers a positive, real rate of return. Why should anyone agree to "earn" 2% when inflation is 12%?? Why do you suppose M3 was stopped being reported? Remember that the COT report was also on the chopping block.

I've been thinking that capitalism never was really an organized or thought-out system. The inherent weaknesses of the idea were masked by the abundance of the planet. But now that seems to be getting tapped out.<BR/><BR/>Sooooo. I guess we'll have to inventory what we can reasonably produce, call that the sustainability threshold, divide that by the number of people currently on the planet (tell citizens that from 2010 forward they can't create more than 2 kids so the # of people doesn't change in the future), assign labor as needed, and just hang out in our spare time.<BR/><BR/>I have to wonder if the sustainability/people ratio would mean only working, say, 13 hours a week if everyone could be brought up to US education standards.

Back in the Great Depression,50% of the people were engaged in farming on a self subsistence level. This is not the case now.<BR/><BR/>You forgot to add the increased numbers of government workers to the service sector substitution.<BR/><BR/>You are dead on the concept of sustainability as opposed to the past mantra of economic growth. I think this is the single most important objective that needs to be realized before we can stop this orgy of government sponsored bailouts to keep people borrowing. It's madness!<BR/><BR/>There should be a radical revision of the tax code to a VAT which taxes consumption, and encourages saving and conservation.<BR/><BR/>If we were to suddenly discover or transition to a more plentiful supply of energy, such as a Manhattan Project to develop fusion, or wind or solar energy generation efficiency were to take a quantum leap, then humanity could truly enjoy an increased standard of living.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102429195693595750.post-19941813412704706052008-11-14T16:46:00.000+02:002008-11-14T16:46:00.000+02:00Greenie said...

Who are these 'neo-liberal and neo-con' policy makers? Is it a dictatorship or did people bring them to power? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Amen!<BR/><BR/>... And the greatest irony of all is while it's hard to change someone else's actions, it is relatively easy to change my own.<BR/><BR/>Hell and Dink, what other system? Hope on a non-existent alternate system is not a policy response. Excess got us in, less excess - conservation will get us out.<BR/><BR/>This crisis does not need to be solved with more work, or more physical production of goods in the US (lower cost labor/robots took those job forever). The problem needs to be solved with less subsidy of non-productive behaviors and actions whether we are capitalist OR socialist.<BR/><BR/>Since behavior-action-consequence units follow Pareto spreads just like wealth distributions (there are certain behavior-action-consequence that are vastly more expensive to the collective than other's), I suggest we stop subsidizing the most expensive clusters first and just say "no"- a few will suffer nasty consequences but most other people will ultimately change their behavior as the subsidies stop. It will be painful for some but the collective will be safe and the pain will be felt on far fewer people than your approach. <BR/><BR/>This is simple collective- hive game theory and is very well understood. Why do armies send some units on suicide missions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
