Can you explain this please. Because it seems to have escaped a lot of very clever people.

Minimum, maximum or what ever wage. First thing to be done, is create the need for the workers, then the jobs appear.

Are they all going to be flipping burgers, selling in a mall or doing what?

I know I sound like a broken record but, the problem is shipping the jobs overseas.

I phoned Barclaycard last week, they fucked up my statement. Got through to India. Looked at the box of a WD hard drive I burned for a client, said made in Thailand. Go to a porn show and see where all the sex toys are made. Far East. In fact try and find something made in the US. Should keep you busy for a while.

Everyone talks as if jobs are just created. Well it seems they're not.
