You work in an area where it doesn't matter where you are, you have the know-how, the smarts, the aptitude and/or education (sorry maybe not correct term seeing the way the term has been bandied about here) that allow you to work in that area and going by past post succeed in it. Also the easy movement of capital actually helps your business. But imagine if you were a textile worker back in Donegal (thinking of old Fruit of the loom operations here) who loses their job to Cambodia where basically some young girls are doing the work in almost slave like conditions. It's great for the company (and it's owners) getting the work done at much cheaper rates. It's now great for other people in Donegal who are now buying the same garment as before, but the price is now €10 and not €15 because the work is done much cheaper in Cambodia. But for the individual who lost their job and can't get another one because there is now none of that work available things aren't that rosey. Their kids, like previous generations, will never work in the same industry because it is now gone. Of course some people (including posters around here) will say "tough, those skills are no longer wanted or needed in Donegal. Upskill, get further education/training. Aim for a better job". That argument is fine if you are young, can easily move, and actually have an aptitude that was never tapped into. But there is a saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". So then why not just make do and get a basic job, shure the pay isn't as good because it is a menial job, but beggars can't be choosers as they say. That is fine until the other side of the free market kicks in and some immigrants arrive and they are willing to do those jobs for even less. Where is the old textile plant worker then ? And as some have pointed out even if the textile plant returns, the work may done by an automated robotic system and there wouldn't be a job anyway. The above scenario is playing out all over the Western World, from Donegal to Flint, Bethlehem to Sheffield, South Bend to Glasgow. And slowly but surely the ones left behind are getting more and more disillusioned with the way the system is going. Even worse a certain grouping are now often labeling the disillusioned as being thick, uneducated, lazy, backward when they do vote for someone who does finally seem to be listening an caring about their plight. Of course these people may find out soon enough that they have been duped and things will go on much as they have for the last few years.

And I've risen my eyebrow more than once at their immense over-representation in politics and wealth, but the damage people like those Hitler worshipping retards have done to any movement hopeful of forcing religious ties out of politics and finance has made me genuinely hate them. The second criticism is leveled, it's automatically pushed into the "back to stormfront" file of arguments and that's the end of it...
