Literary Discussions

I am not directing any comment at anyone, just thinking aloud... I turn on the television and hear people speak of "creating jobs" and I think about how meaningless that phrase really is...  If we were Neanderthal hunters and someone spoke of "creating prey" I would also think that is meaningless.  Many jobs are outsourced to India, but I doubt that India did something to CREATE those outsourced jobs other than to be poor enough to be willing to do lots of work for little pay and benefit. As India grows more prosperous then workers will demand more and perhaps the outsourcing will move to some poorer nation. China has a population of rural people used to fetching water from wells and bathing once a week and riding bicycles. That population is moving to cities and now expects indoor plumbing, daily showers and motor vehicles. This adds to Chinas energy and pollution problems.
