JOBS JOBS JOBS on Earth Day

I have had most of the day off from work and i have been watching the news. All i hear about is the deficit, the national debt, the raising of the debt ceiling, and all that stuff. but i don't hear a single person talking about jobs. nobody wants to talk about jobs even though unemployment still hovers around 8.9. now the obama administration's efforts to create jobs in this ailing economy has been some what fruitful. not completely. we have indeed added jobs for quite a few quarters in a row now, unemployment is down from its high at one time hovering around 9.6%. so the war is being won on job creation. but it's not enough. and we keep hearing about the table scrap theory to create our jobs (i.e. tax cuts for the super rich). But that clearly has not and does not work. but it is the right wings insistence that tax cuts and reduced government spending will create job growth. you can not find a single legitimate source to say those things drive job creation. So the question is why is everybody wanting jobs and nobody is talking about how to create them? well here are the largest industries in america today;

But the industries that will surpass these the fastest will be that third one in purple and the tan one. as the baby boom generation grows older, the need for at home assisted living personnel, and assisted living nurses will grow rapidly, but thats one industry that will grow because it is necessary. but all the others are not necessarily important to future growth. but one industry can tie all these together, and it is growing, not very fast, but it is growing and one day will be much much larger. it ties in with software and computer development, ties in even with assisted living, and employment services, health care industry and all other facets of life. the answer is here:

So employment services will cover this kind of sector. finding jobs and people to work those jobs for the companies that will invest and create green jobs. 

cities like these will see huge revenue boost here in the near future. detroit has been dead for years since gm and ford left town. but new investment in green energy will bring jobs back, and ultimately bring in bigger jobs along the lines of building wind turbines, solar panes, and other green energy innovation. portland has weathered the storm that was the great recession of 2008, thanks in large part to medical marijuana and investments in green energy solutions to their power woes. downtown portland is described as a wonderland of free thinkers, clean air, and groovy environment, who couldn't get down with green energy? san Francisco will always hold the edge for a innovation think tank for the next "cool" thing. and this is no exception, a highly liberal base in the town has lead the charge to go green. boston and new york are two cities that experienced this move not because it was the smart solution but because they were forced to. big, sea side, east coast towns will always be forced to be ahead of the curve, for one reason: there fuckin big. you can't burn enough coal, oil, or anything else to supply power to all those fucking people. 16 million, not thousand, 16 MILLION people live in the new york metropolitan area, could you imagine the amount of coal per ton would have to be used to supply power to every building, car, house, office space, and so on. for that reason those people are forced to go green quickly. imagine a solar panel on every rooftop in new york or boston? surrounded by plants and such? improve air quality and energy efficiency. so these towns have already created jobs, and made their cities more environmentally friendly.

This is from the GREEN Act of 2008 from the 110th congress formally known as H.R. 6078 (110th) Bill. This bill stalled out after it was reported on in committee, and was cleared from the books because congress runs on 2 year schedule. so this was proposed by Ed Perlmutter of colorado. this is what the bill would have invested in. now we got a good bit of investment from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that president obama passed. but not nearly of this size, this would have been intense folks. we would have seen green jobs popping up left and right up and down front and back would have set a tone for our new age of energy consumption in america. we consume more energy than anybody else in the world, thats a fact. but it's not clean, it takes more than it gives, and is causing the planet to collapse. we need more bills like this to pass, your looking at close to 800,000 jobs nation wide here on this map, that could have really worked in favor for us in combating this recession.    

But the one city that felt the recession that could really take charge in these times:

This is Detroit michigan, and at one time it was the place to be in the industrialized world. gm, ford, chrysler, and so on all based out of here. the three largest automobile makers in the world were founded, based, and produced here. and the factory lines use to look like this:

Cars, millions of them rolling off factory lines with hard working americans who were union members, received great benefits, worked hard, and built something so distinctly american, and so distinctly us, it was right, we were doing something right. honest work, good money, trust, and family was the foundation. and now after years of out sourcing, underhanded bribery, and stupid bullshit turned this into this:

So this is one example, but i don't think we need a million of these abandoned buildings to show what happened to detroit at the hands of corporate america. it is also home to a very high homicide rate, high domestic violence rates, poor schools, high unemployment, and soaring hard drug use. all of that is a direct link to corporate america screwing these people over. but now we need responsible, honest, new and up coming companies to come to detroit, and invest in the city, renovate these wastelands and toxic pits that the corporations have created, and bring jobs back. solar panel factories, wind turbines, industrial hemp manufacturing (if ever legal), and all kinds of assorted technologies resulting in the creation of nation wide green energy. the infrastructure is there folks. its in place, it needs a face lift, and maybe a new boob job but its all in place man. all we need to innovative people with a belief in the equality of all people and our dependence to live harmoniously with the earth, and you can guarantee that those people in detroit that are slammin drugs, beatin wives and kids, and so on will jump at the opportunity to work for the first time in who knows how long. 

But really all of this ties into one idea, that the earth is what matters. ive got big news for everybody, we still have not found another place we can live. humans can not sustain life anywhere else except here. im sure one day it will be possible, in my lifetime? no way. but in the present we have to be all about the earth folks. and i have always taken this quote to mean so much, not just the abolishment of all private lands, but also hwo important the earth is to us:

"The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this imposter; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody."-Jean-Jacques Rousseau
