There follow some back-of-the-envelope calculations as Blinder totes up the number of jobs in tradable and non-tradable sectors. Then comes his (necessarily imprecise) bottom line: "The total number of current U.S. service-sector jobs that will be susceptible to offshoring in the electronic future is two to three times the total number of current manufacturing jobs (which is about 14 million)." As Blinder believes that all those manufacturing jobs are offshorable, too, the grand total of American jobs that could be bound for Bangalore or Bangladesh is somewhere between 42 million and 56 million. That doesn't mean all those jobs are going to be exported. It does mean that the Americans performing them will be in competition with people who will do the same work for a whole lot less.
The threat of globalization and the reality of de-unionization have combined to make the raise, for most Americans, a thing of the past. Between 2001 and 2004, median household income inched up by a meager 1.6 percent, even as productivity was expanding at a robust 11.7 percent. The broadly-shared prosperity that characterized our economy in the three decades following World War II is now dead as a dodo.

Will YOU survive?
Who WIll survive abd who will not?
We, the world and its players to tp bottom, ARE the the servivor game
far too many are not surviving now, let alone asking "Will YOUR job survive?"
The day the free trade deal was signed
There was a net loss of jobs in CanaDUH in the tens of thousands
and a n new improved dynamic took over
n
It was all ratched up a noch or two , ya might say
I have been a player most of my adult life
first job outa scool (dropped ot for many or reasonsm so the brainwashing stopped)
Went to work at vavcouver plywoods aback 62 an hour,and more than Dad made as an Oiler for the white pine. HR MacMillans outfit.
I soon learned that packing a lunch bucket got you an hourly wage when the boss wanted ya
work six months closed down due to fire season , lon logs
thaw same
to much snow
labour disputes
whatever
wah wah boo hoo
And folks it aiont about my story time however many
Its about survival
some do some dont so what?
Ist that the way it works ?
Here I am at 66 no home no family
and a lot of stories that other identify with and could care less about
I have formed benevolent societies
jpob cluks
Crafts school
giving work to 7 or 8 people
Wgat ever it was than I thought I needed was never available to me
so
I started shoe stringing it to survive
Became an Idea man
whooptie ding
Canadans dont value "Ideas"
nor turn profit and mores the pity
(lease for give the choppy writing my computer seems to have taken on my personality and is "being " strange)
Meanwhile back at the ranch...
As for me in the here and now...
well fellow vive-e-toians I am in deep dodo
and surprise sur prise so are many of my fellow travellers
out soursing , freetrade, fiat moneying, red tape creative have seeking move are putting the squeeze on zaa goodly number of Canadians while the miliary is deployed is reality war games
or name games
homelessness abounds
oops i forgot
they WANT To be there , Ya ya whatever
thepoint is not only are there inequities the inequities are going along according to plans , plass are the dumbed down version for conspiacies.
"What have You done?"
is the question most asked by those who would erroneously assume a "Superior Stature"
I do what I can and hadn't realise it was a competion

Jobs are slipping away in our economy just as the 'Salesmen' are selling off our country piece by piece. It seems to me that protectionism is a logical response at this point of the game. I believe we should nationalize many different things. Hydro, oil, gas, all comunications, shipping (Rail and ship). Sorry Paul Martin. With the essentials taken off the playing field and prices lowered we could effectively compete in a global economy. We should take the advantages we have in our country instead of selling them for a nickel on the dollar so a foriegn business elite can make reams of money at our expense. Our country is being slowly sucked dry of its wealth so that salesmen can earn thier meager percentage.
This also means the protection of jobs and the economy for the benefit of the citizens.
This is called democracy, something forgotten by politicians and economists, who have distorted the logical concept of protection into the protection of special interest sectors, who are out to rob and enslave the citizens in the name of screwball, pseudo religious economic theories. The ultimate protection of so called "capital" against any questioning, or action, because that would "drive away capital".
The sooner they go to hell, the better.
We live under the same system, as when shamans demanded people, especially children and "virgins" for human sacrifice to "please the gods", and people were supposed to be jubilating when their children's hearts were torn out with obsidian knives and thrown into bottomless pits.
Virtually any number of jobs could be created right across North America for less than $15,000 investment per job, if we'd get the hell out of NAFTA and the WTO, and stop the teaching of this criminal theory. The secret of survival and wellbeing is self sufficiency to the greatest degree.
There was a news item last night that GM successfully concluded an agreement for the early retirement of 126,000 of its workers to "cut costs". What the blundering idiots and crooks, who announced this as a "success", didn't say was that it also meant 126,000 less jobs for young people.
How can you fight such great economic logic ?
Ed Deak, diehard protectionist and economic nationalist.
I see.
Its gonna be like that is it slick? LOL
A fair question?
OK?
Great! Thank you.
Jobs, my friend are not
“slipping away” of there own accord.
However the movement be described, with anything other, in way adjectives used,
Than –“Orchestrated, planned, executed,… (pick your superlative )
Are you some how wildly suggesting some mythical “we” shall save the day you operated under the assumption the ‘we’ has a stake.
The ‘we’ does not have stake
The ‘we’ is not, if it ever was, a stakeholder.
The ‘we’ has no ‘say’
The we has only ‘opinion’
And good hearted opinion it can be.
WITH NO ‘STANDING’
I suggest those unfamiliar with Law Dictionaries, Dictionaries have entirely different definitions that an Oxford, or even one of the less Webster or American variety
, The very basis, the bed rock of communication is now confused under several dictionaries
The Major one being one of law.
A Blackstone’s, a Bouvier’s and the older the better
Law, British law, With its roots in Roman Law, Cannon Law and British Common law have cobbled up the slickest con The world knows!
Law and
Fiat banking cartels connected to BIS
In conjunction with ‘Law’
And a couple of other major players in commodities as energy
And a sympathetic press
Do as the bumper sticket states
“They think I am a Mushroom.
They keep me in the dark and feed me bullshit!”
That is the first pat of the story…
And now for the rest of the story
Mushrooms come into being by transmuting
A dark environment and bullshit into
An edible
But as far as any “we”
We are slaves holding our selves in ignorance
And slaves don’ own!\\ except in the eyes of the law
I Peru, under Napoleonic Law,. There is a
Provision to be ‘extralegal’
Read “The other path” and De Soto’s followup book for more insight
De Soto became to be described as the Dahling of the Rightwing(nut) set
The books are fascinating I for me in as much as they also describe what the none papered people , and by paper I mean proof of ownership.
He wanted to follow more of the
Fiat money duded and “Legalise” read Capture , more commerce.
What De Soto ignores is the private money lenders
Money makes the world go round!
Speaking from both experience and the heart, no money = poverty!
With out Capital, Ideas are unfulfilled dreams.
Free enterprise is an oxymoron
A slogan!
Sucker bait
As long as there is money brought into play, that is

Believeme when I say, am not friend of anassociation that lives of others
sFamiliarise you self with the law, It is after all Law that enslaves you
CAse law
Courts of record
Decision hand ed down from the bench
Rulings
strings of garbeldy gook
I alot of the learned skills
those who study law would serve any student
You may kill the lawyer and in doing so do you kill the law?

It is alright on this end and when it shows up there it is weird
as a serious collector of lawyers and friend of sovereign citizen types i have learned a thing or two and that is the key we must be willing to learn
ordinary people are smart enough to learb]n and the law demands we do
Ignorance of the law is no excuse, I personaly find this fav statment from judges abit unrealistic
however
we CAN Learn. can we not?

someone in the Soviet Union said that they could do it
cheaper. But, they often charge the same currency as the
"rich" country. Why not?
The outsourcing to large shops in other countries is
popular, but it can sometimes have it's own management
issues that you don't get with your own professionals
in-house. It's harder to work internationally than it
seems, even with the Internet.
"Woo Hooo" I guess we'll see.
if government were to stop overtaxing us so that we need higher wages just to survive...
We could outcompete any country with our productivity.
My heart bleeds for all those "outsourced", but one needs to look at the source of the problem. There's much talk about sending work to countries where people will do the job for less... why is that? Is it because our expectations are too high, or is it the system that we're forced to live with that makes us uncompetitive?
Rico AB.
Rico AB.
1 why is that"
Because profit is the motive!
2 our expectation have nothing to do with it
3 I believe it is the system world wide we are forced to live with
Remember the BIS?
thanks for this Rico

Local people, now unemployed, can no longer purchase the company's product(s).
Local/national sales go down as more companies jump on the bandwagon.
That being obvious, why do more managers not see it?
Are they truly that stupid?

Is there an absence of malice in your post…
“Well......I think lawyers should be executed and dropped in a hole to start;)”
And what is it these executed lawyers are to start?
The following are the written words of a member of my “Lawyer Collection”
Would you execute Mr. Eisbrenner and drop him in a hole to start?
Are contracts "supreme", in law?
people separate walnuts from walnut shells
like brains from skulls
talking about "the brain" in a vacuum...
disconnected, unconnected, analyzed to the nth degree...
people separate "lawyers" from "the public at large
giving them power, privilege and immunity
this "separated out crowd", functions the same way as the word pharisaioi [literally "the separated out ones"] from the Greek whence we get the designation pharisee
recently, in a case involving Mr Starson, The State sought his incarceration in a state mental facility... How? By hiring mouthpieces, lawyers... to present The State's position in Court... these hired mercenaries can be described as "for-profit-prophets"... hired, paid for, retained, contracted with... to re-present parties in Court...
The State authorities, and State paid-for-psychiatrists, wanted Mr Starson incarcerated as an inpatient, i.e. committed into a psychiatric facility, involuntarily... The State, through its hired lobbyists, told the Supreme Court of Canada's 9 Justices... Mr Starson's refusal to voluntarily ingest what the State wanted him to ingest... showed he did not understand, could not appreciate the benefit of taking anti-psychotic psychotropic synthetic pharmaceutical medication...
The State, through its counselors and its advocates, said Mr Starson could not decide for himself whether or what to ingest...
Contract. Contracts for hire. The essence of law = contract. Lots of adages floating around.
Contract. Breaks apart like the walnut from its shell, into con and tract.
Conscience. Breaks apart into con and science.
Far as I know, the 9 Justices of the Canadian Supreme Court, a.k.a. The Supreme Court of Canada, a.k.a. Canada's Highest Court... divided into two groups... 6 voted to allow Mr Starson the choice, the entitlement, about what to ingest and whether to ingest The State's medication. 3 voted to incarcerate Mr Starson, including Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin... who wrote the dissenting decision... basically ignoring evidence and arguing Mr Starson was "crazy" for not recognizing the benefits of The State licensed pharmaceutical industry's medication...
Contract. Lawyers hired by The State... argued, stated their "client's" position, made submissions... did everything they could to make sure The Court did what The State wanted... Lawyers contracted to The State. Mercenaries. Mouthpieces. Without a mind of their own. For "lawyers" are trained "to follow their client's instructions"... to do what their clients want them to do... to go where their clients want them to go... like in the story of Ruth and Naomi... whither thou goest, I will go... whither thou lodgest, I will lodge... thy people shall be my people... and thy God, my God...
What a wonderful illustration of "the blind leading the blind"... contracted to each other, shackled to each other, bound to each other, hand-cuffed to each other... saddled with mutual dutiful freedoms to act in certain ways, according to certain principles... following certain rules and procedures and regulations and legislation and statutes and codes...
The State pays for knowledge of law. The State does not know "the law"... It needs "legal advice". Makes me think about that cartoon, a lawyer sitting at a desk says to his client... "do you want my legal opinion, or do you want the truth".
Truth. Does not conveniently break apart into two parts, like con and tract. It does not carry the semantic reaction that the word "con" brings to the word "tract"... a contract... sounds like something fishy... like a con science... something that passes for science... something that masks itself as something it is not...
Robert Jackson, the Nuremberg prosecutor, describes the most odious oppression as "that which masks as justice"...
Truth.
Contract.
Truth stems from the Teutonic treu ["true"... as used in engineering and structure and functional craftsmanship, or tekne , whence we get technology]. The word treue signifies what Latin describes as virtu and Norse as vril, whence "virility".
One's aim is said to be "true". A column can stand "true" to 90 degrees, perpendicular to the world.
The debate as to whether "contract" forms the basis, essence, foundation, fons et origo [fount and origin of law]... begins and ends with the two words : contract + truth.
The concept of "trust"... includes the functional structure of the "truss"... a weight bearing structure... Trust + Truth + treue mean and signify a straight path a "true" compass direction, whether geographical or psychological... whether in the realm of atoms and fractals and particles and waves and particular waves... or in the realm of "language", our "talk-about-talk".
Professor Donovan Waters, Q.C., a renowned scholar in the area of Trust Law... clearly identifies the demise, the erosion, the falling away of the legal profession from "a calling" to just another business.
Business = busy-ness. Business = commercial agreements, contracts, charters... stemming from the 6000 B.C. culture at a place called Shinar or Sumer. There, the beginnings of "contract" as the essence of "law" begins to take shape and form, by The State beginning to create for itself its own "management" agency... made up of
"separated out ones", identified by some "oath" binding them to loyal obedience or adherence to The State... a self-fulfilling accretive device... ever seeking to create and to produce and to pass more and more laws, rules, regulations... creating more and more and more of a separation between "the private sector"... those who do not occupy official office, or take "oaths" of office, or swear allegiance to some entity... under the terms of contract that provide for the equivalent of "the confessional"...
Secrecy. Contractual secrecy. An inherent aspect of the "hiring" by The State... of people... to speak The State's version of "the truth"... yet hiding behind "solicitor/client privilege"... the omerta of our "adversarial" system... the same "adversarial" system prevelant in belief systems, or webs of belief named : zoroastrianism... where perpetually the nut and the shell are at war... good v. bad... right v. wrong... black v. white...
The "suzerain" treaty, contract, agreement = a "superior" contracts with an "inferior", designed as an "unequal" bargaining situtation, one party exercises power, immunity and privilege the other party does not have...
The "parity" treaty = an agreement among equals... similar to the design of the British North America Act, 1867, where the Provinces [all "Sovereign" enter into a Charter Agreement, similar to a Corporate Charter...
The Doukhabours who married each other in the story below, who made mutual promises to each other, who received assurances from each other... did not follow any prescribed "procedure" or "rule" or "regulation"... The couple engaged in a mutual agreement based on trust without paperwork, without "by the powers invested in me by the Province of British Columbia"... they effectively acted within the bounds of their dutiful freedoms... without The State as a 3rd party to their "marriage"... their engaging in Holy Matrimony...
A Doukhabour couple go to a lawyer, asking for a divorce. Where were you married? Down by the river. Who married you? She married me. I married her. Who presided at the ceremony? What ceremony? I asked her to marry me. She asked me to marry her. So we got married. Was there no priest or minister or justice of the peace [licenced by or vested with the power of The State? No. Nobody but she and me were there, down by the river.
Good news, says the lawyer, You don't need a divorce. In fact, you cannot get a divorce! You were never "married"! Never married?
What happened down at the river?, they asked... shaking their heads on the way out.
The Web of Belief = a title of a book by Willard van Orman Quine... outlines how we tend to adhere to believing a set of statements to be true... creating a "world-view"... what the German language calls a Weltanshauung - a way of seeing the world.
Since 6000 B.C. Sumer, the apartheid created by words and titles and labels and names, saw developed in a culture a 2-tiered caste system... the one occupied by "public servants", or "priests", or "paid-for-State-prophets "... ruling over the 'lower' class, known as "the herd", or "the masses", or "Joe SixPack"... what the Greeks called hoi polloi - those who do not share power, privilege and immunity as 'officers' or 'employees' or 'servants' of The State.
This overbearing "superior" body, made of entities created by words... use words to control and to extort and to oppress and to lay taxing burdens on the 'serfs', also known as 'slaves' or 'employees'...
The Roman political scene 2000 years ago illustrates the same 4-tiered taxing structure we see in place in Canada today... local, regional, provincial and federal... with Rome exercising imperial federal control over "puppet" States , and The Priesthood and the "separated out ones" [public servants]... participating in creating differing taxing systems... to ensure their survival as legal entities... created out of words...
When Jesus spoke about the elite forgetting the weightier matters of the law... justice and mercy... and proclaimed destruction to those participating in making rules and regulations so unbearable... taxing the people to death... his words offended the 'powers that be'.
One need not look far to recognize Jesus' teachings fall into the pattern and the spirit of the prophets of social ethic... his "testimony" serves to distil the hypocrisy - laden system, where promises need not be kept... excusing lack of trust-worthiness as "... well that is just politics".
Some pundits depict the Emerson and Stronach defections from one Party to another, as not a matter of ethics, but a matter of politics. Notice the adept way the principle "divide and conquer" comes into word-play.
Some pundits argue actions by The State can be labeled "legal" and "unethical" and still valid.
The word "valid" needs unpacking. Arguments can be valid without being "sound".
Inferences can be "valid"... without being "true".
Ironically, how the word hypocrisy and its counterpart hypocrite find an echo in the words expressed by the hippocratic oath.
Are contracts "supreme" in law?
What principles underly contract if not principles of trust, truth and trustworthiness?
'd'

By the way its Mallius meaning of course the hammer. I realize its misspelled but I changed the e to an i for use on the internet. I thought it clever but noone got it but me. By the way, I dont really think lawyers should be executed. I'm a pacifist. I wasn't being serious.
