The Past . . .

(inspired by http://www.americanshipper.com/main/asd/commentary-the-real-threat-and-solution-for-us-job-66343.aspx)

One major platform item of the U.S. President-elect was the idea that manufacturing jobs can and should return to the United States. While the outsourcing of manufacturing, increased levels of imported goods, and free trade in general have been vilified as U.S. job killers, a more potent dynamic is being omitted from the conversation, which is technology. It's not that we cannot manufacture in the U.S., it's that the things we manufacture are expensive. Technological innovation is not going to stop as a result of non-factual information originating with public servants. While advances do threaten current jobs,  they also create new, different jobs such as the programming and maintenance of systems and machines which perform highly automated functions.

One Broken. . .

. . . part of our political system. . .

(from http://www.sobhaniformaryland.com)
". . .The campaign of Independent candidate for the U.S. Senate Rob Sobhani today announced it has learned that both incumbent Senator Ben Cardin and the Republican nominee in the race told a Baltimore radio station – so far the only venue for a debate in Maryland’s senate race – that neither would appear if Rob Sobhani were allowed to share the platform with them.

This revelation comes in direct contradiction to the claims of the campaigns of Cardin and his Republican opponent that they are open to debating Sobhani, whom public opinion polling has clearly shown to be running dead even with if not ahead of the Republican nominee.

“This is precisely why Rob is running, to open up the closed system that takes voters for granted and plays rope a dope games whether at election time or when it comes time to actually govern on behalf of the citizens,” Sobhani spokesman Sam Patten said.  “Moreover, this is a clear indication that neither of these establishment politicians is being truthful with the media or the public on the subject of debates. As such, it is deeply disappointing.”. . ."
