this is structural. it's fun to blame mexico, but the truth is that we're being replaced by robots.

the next step is for the robots to take over those low paying jobs, too.

brains have been much racked, and there doesn't seem to be a good answer in sight. so, maybe we need to change the question.

if robots are doing all the work for us, do we really need to all have jobs?

Why are the big unions allowed to fly under the radar on this?

jessica murray
i agree. canadian and american unions should have been doing far more organizing and solidarity work in mexico, to get living standards up there. by playing directly into nationalism, they've harmed all of us.

Obviously the government is the last to find this out. Duh ever since 2008 all of our good jobs have been vanishing for part time no benefits minimum wage type McJobs, why is this a story now? I guess the government can no longer hide this fact. All of their policies making it easy and penalty free for corporations to move overseas and continue to do business here is what has caused this.

these trends trace to the 70s.
