I’ve wanted to write something like this for ages. Everyone talks about Globalisation but what he or she doesn’t talk about is that there will be no one left to buy in the countries outsourcing, since you have to earn money to buy and if you don’t earn, you don’t buy and as you outsource your jobs think of all those years ahead when your town doesn’t work anymore and there is nothing else you can do for the next 60 years. People with work get a life, spending money and respect, and the countries concerned you have outsourced to, will make it damned difficult for you to get a job even if you could all move out there, whilst you have paid for their production, skills and power to develop. Only Economists considered their theories to have importance; politicians consider life consists of one day and the rest of us, we just pay the costs and make theory have some meaning. Dave ********************************************************************* The Mill Hammers stopped one day at mill Told it wasn’t enough Paid nothing for work we did for us Cheaper wasn’t enough Romance by the factory wall Wouldn’t be disturbed By people going into work Comments we never heard Now my man works away Pays for me it’s true Why must he be uprooted? How can this cost be true? Businesses failing right and centre Told it’s doing us good How can I buy cheap goods? When I cant afford the food To feed us, keep us, care for us Yes they talk of global Yes their honesty Ensures Economics Starves the bread from me When all this Global is complete All those countries built What apart from those too old, ill or just too beat To pay for those cheap goods |
