Fine. So capitalism leaves many millions of people without jobs and unemployable. So, where do they go? If you have no job and can't find employment, you eventually join the vast army of homeless people. You become the scum of the earth, dependent on charity and the rule of the streets. That's OK, as long as capitalism goes on making its profits.

The scum of the earth have no power, so they pose no threat to capitalist profit. Isn't it wonderful to think that this could never happen to you?

Well Killarney these people you describe are the "Deplorables" and most
are just hanging onto a house simply because the area is so rundown and
the price of houses is very low.
They cannot leave and go elsewhere for a job because only California
and the east coast centred on NYC have any chance of a job but they
have no resources to rent or buy in those expensive locations.

I am sure that there are people like this in Australia and I would
expect that their voting trend would be similar.
It looks like we may already have seen it in the polls on Pauline
Hansen and One Nation in Queensland.
The journalists still have the same "knock her" attitude to Pauline
and they have not learnt the lesson of Orange by election and the
US election plus Brexit.

They just cannot accept that she is right and what one Nation is
proposing is the desire of many ignored people.

Oops, that should have read, " ..... manufacturing jobs in Australia make up only 15 % of employment."

Hi Killarney,

I'm certainly not advocating or supporting what may be happening soon here, simply pointing out that capitalism is an impersonal monster which rolls on regardless.

And yes, it certainly could happen to me or my kids.

Cheers,

Joe
