I’ve been convinced for a few years now that the reason Obama and the powers that be keep talking about how we need more engineering, tech and math graduates is to flood the market and bring down wages to the point where it’s just as cheap to use Americans as it is to fill those positions with workers from the Third World countries. This is what they plan to do instead of paying better wages in other countries.
Somewhere I seem to recall people standing around a table studying diagrams, charts, etc., in much the same poses as the group above.

Whether you’re plotting to suppress wages or invade a country, people stand around the table in much the same fashion.
You have the right of it. Income for Americans has to drop to be competitive with Sri Lanka, instead of world labor values growing to be comparable with the US. The Corporate Welfare of the Vampire Class must be maintained at all costs. Well cost in human lives that is. Inflation, it seems, always results from increases in ‘labor’ costs, but never from increases in the 1%’s profit. Profit has somehow become defined as a constant. Notice that the price of jeans is still $40, even though the cost of manufacture dropped to pennies when the shipped the job to prison labor in China.
I know people think it was pretty fucking harsh when the dead guy got play by Assstain Kutcher in that movie. But that’s not enough. I hope you burn in hell for all of eternity, Steve Jobs. Curses on your soul and your family and everything you ever touched.
