when he took office unemployment was at 7.9 percent and soared all the way to 10.2 percent...now its fallen to 9 percent...only because they actually count those on unemployment...not those who have exhausted theirs....not being for or against Obama here... its not like hes created a ton of jobs here...hes still lost more than hes gained...I think alot of people would be shocked if they actually counted everybody...and keeping 75 percent of all US companies jobs in the US would be a good idea....but how many people from Ford and GM work in Canada...oops there goes Canadas unemployment rate even higher...whiskey is good!!!!!
For your information, Ford and GM have been moving their operations overseas from here, just recently in Ontario I believe a GM or Ford plant closed costing I don`t know how many jobs that was relocated somewhere else overseas. And here in my province of Quebec companys are constantly trying to move their operations overseas as well, thus creating even more unemployed people.
I really don`t understand why some folks are adamantly opposed to keeping jobs and work in your own country and not exporting it somewhere else because you can pay people peanuts to the work for you instead thus making insane amounts of profit. Why don`t you keep the jobs in the country you are located in, thus creating employment for your own countrymen and providing them with a means to sustain themselves and their familys?
Sure, you won`t make as much money but you will still be making a shitload of it, so why the constant need to send the work overseas? Just to make more fucking money? Always more, more, more, money as that is the only thing that matters? Some of you don`t seem to realise what effect this will have on your nation in the long term, not everyone has the means, ability or opportunity to go to college or university to study for a bachelor or a doctorate or whatever, some of us have to make do with doing more hands on type of work.
What will you do when you have millions of unemployed men sitting around getting more and more frustrated and angry at their inability to find a job to support themselves and their familys? Look whats happening in Egypt and Yemen and Algeria and Tunisia, all those men in the streets are there because their ain`t no fucking jobs to keep them at work instead of protesting in the street demading changes.
They are angry and pissed off, and its only a matter of time before this kind of things starts happening in the US and Canada even, especially here in Quebec where shit has gone completely out of control. Then you add guns to the mix and you have a very dangerous situation on your hands if you are the govnt. I know people here who have been out of work for almost two years and its not for a lack of trying to find a job, ANY job whatsoever, there simply isn`t anything available and its fucking scary.
And what is even scarier is some of the thoughts that cross their minds, after awhile they start getting very angry at their situation and start thinking to themselves somebodys gotta pay for this, somebody has to pay for me losing my house, my family, my inability to buy anything because I simply have no fucking money! These are ordinary men who I have known for a long time and who are starting to lose it mentally, a man who has nothing left to lose and has an axe to grind is the most dangerous man in the world, he has no fear left anymore just hatred and rage inside of him, and that cannot be contained forever, and what happens when it is unleashed?
You guessed it, sheer mayhem, now imagine it on a much grander scale, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of men just like this, then what will you do? There is so much more I can say about this subject unfortunately I am not nearly as eloquent in my writing as I am when I speak, plus I am already tipsy and don`t feel like writing anymore at this time so I`ll bow out now. Point is exporting all the work you can overseas just in the name of maximizing profit is very short-sighted, in the long run it will create far more harm than good.
