“Now workers get paid half that money”

Watch the old footage of the guys assembling Model T’s. They literally put raw steel and wood into one end of the plant and Model T’s rolled out the other end. The guys building them were highly skilled craftsmen. Now, if you can assemble a LEGO set, you can build a modern car in a modern plant.

“it doesn’t buy nearly what it used to, and the cars produced are not of high quality anymore.”

Totally wrong. Cars today are so much better than what we had even 20 years ago. What’s also happened is the tech and gadgets that used to be optional are now standard equipment.

  Biofuel is made from unusable left-overs of an organic product. Let us look at ethanol, the current largest source of which is sugarcane. After the sugarcane is pressed and the juice obtained for further processing, one is left with essentially a flat piece of plant matter. The waste product is then left to ferment, after which it is processed again where the naturally occuring alcohol is removed, the waste matter is dried, and then used as combustible fuel for the distillation process. The end …

  Me, guy A, gets paid $8.50 an hour to make a car part. The guy(B) whose only job is to put said part in the car gets paid twice what I do.

And the fucker sitting at the top of all these cars makes more in one day than guy A, B, C, and D’s annual wages, yet has zero to do with the creation of finished products. Without guy A, guys BCD and …

  Well … there were a few more steps than that (I work in macroeconomics). The U.S. Congress enacted legislation on the premise that home ownership was an unalloyed good (obviously not enough Star Trek fans: “too much of anything, Uhura … isn’t necessarily a good thing”), and the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered the target rate. There was suddenly a lot of money sloshing around the market, and U.S. government paper didn’t offer good returns. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) *seemed* to be a good …

  The wall street crash (if you want to call it that) wasn’t from capitalism. It was from government compulsion to lend to sub-prime borrowers. When you give money to people who can’t pay it back you loose that investment and create a bubble. If companies are cutting to many corners; it’s to keep up with the IRS’s stupid tax burdens and pay to conform to the pointless bureaucracies and federal regulations imposed by the U.S. government. It’s not capitalism. It’s crony capitalism.

  You’re kidding right? Compare both consoles reveal and notice that today’s reveal is disappointing to gamers everywhere. PS4 didn’t show the console, but they showed game content.
