1. Yeah, he probably just...
...fired his gardener, but still employs a maid. For him, that's a statistically-significant sample.

2. All I know is unemployment for the poor is tremendously high
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 05:43 PM by Selatius
It's a hell of a lot higher than 5 fucking percent that the Bureau of Labor Statistics keeps shoveling our way.

4. But the good news is Corporatists are making billions off of free trade
50% unemployment in Mexico is tolerable as long as our cherished CEOs get to go home with seven plus figure paychecks each year. God forbid the rich should have to look after the poor.

:sarcasm:

9. Yes, it can be. They simply moved from Mexico to China.
When you're competing against Chinese labor that's being paid an average of 60 cents an hour, you're going to get buried.
