NAFTA

THE WEEK (2008) 5/30/

13/

NAFTA was implemented on January 1, 1994. President Clinton and the Republican congress passed the trade deal between U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Now looking back to

1994 to date, it has been a success for elites and businesses. The majority of all 3 countries has mixed feelings about the trade deal and has since turned down other trade agreements.

In spite of Ricardo’s theory of free trade, the diminishment of trade does not benefit both countries when the transition can be made so fast from one country to another.

42/ FRANKS

On a related topic, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, the conservative periodical of the USA notes that real wages for most workers has gone up 1% since 1979 even though productivity during that same time has risen 60% Americans work harder than any other country even including Japan. There has been nothing like a social or natural catastrophe to flush capital to the top 20%. The hollowing of the middle has been done with outsourcing, off shoring and firing at will. Elite have worked hard to destroy the workfare state and labor movement.  In the future, do you want a land of less inequality or a rich man’s utopia?

22/ SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

• WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO ENGINEERING HUMAN BABIES. We can even make them glow in the womb. READING TO KIDS PAYS OFF. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE GOOD TO THE ENVIRONMENT HAVE YOUR BODY DUMPED IN LYE AND ACID. THE BEST THING FOR ALLERGIES IS TO WASH OUT YOUR MUCUS IN YOUR SINUSES. MOST SMALL BUSINESSES FAIL BECAUSE THE INVESTOR IS TOO OVERCONFIDENT.

BLOGS in all forms and shapes are driving the internet, a handful of blogs run the show, but little bogs with special information do just fine. Some make a lot of money most overwhelmingly do not. They are completed for the enjoyment of doing such a thing. Back in 2005 when Blogs were becoming to blossoming now there is blogs and Web 2.0.

Perhaps there is more to come, but you might try blogspotting.net/ to see some of the latest.

FINE

On the other hand, broadcast television is not doing so well. They keep fading away, but don’t really do so. They keep diminishing, but most of the population keeps watching it. So it is not like radio when television came along. This is more gradual.

TIME MAGAZINE (2008) 6/2 2008

Senator Kennedy is dying of a cancer in a special part of the brain. His life was controversial but on the whole positive.

Autism appears not to be related to early vaccines. Please consult your doctor.

We are entering the dog days of summer.
