Hi there.. I just read about losing jobs to cheaper labor overseas and this is what popped into my head. I do understand the concern.. but I believe that even if we all lose our jobs this is a situation that will be quickly resolved.. say every Brit, shit.. everyone not in a "cheap labor" country loses their job because someone can supply us with what we do cheaper.. well.. if we arent consuming doesnt that make their jobs useless.. We have to have money to buy their $0.10 socks.. without us buying their working soon becomes unnecessary. Okay.. well.. I just figured I'd put that out there to get some ideas back.. I havent given it too much thought but to expound I guess because I suppose a potential question would be "well.. wouldnt they become in 'power' (if money does indeed equal power) .. but lets not forget.. they only have $100/mo.. basically what I see happening if something like this did happen is that we would have a sense of deflation. Are parents might wonder why they arent poor (example.. im sure none of them wonder this, for the record) when candy used to cost $0.01 and now cost $5.00 .. well.. thats because pay went up.. if we only make $100 a month people will have to sell us food at a price that is comparable for us to be able to buy it and them to stay afloat. But in all honesty (and I do understand it is improper English to start a sentence with "But") .. we can survive without money.. sure we might have to trade 50lbs of cheese for that iPod, but money is a relatively new concept in the history of survival.. shit.. maybe we will stop polluting the Earth so much.. eat locally grow organic food, drink unpasteurized fresh milk, and walk our fat American asses to good health.. it could be a bit of a shock.. but maybe some real investment is starting a garden and getting on a farm that is self sustaining. Food for thought, or so they say.
that said.. I've been thinking about investment. I'm glad you brought it up.
