China's Solution to Unemployment

Not being a capitalist state, China has no corporations with stockholders as such.

Nevertheless, it does need to confront the problem of unemployment.  The way it handles the problem is by having people, as a resource to make use of, do the work of machines. 

What's happened in Western societies is that machines do the work of people with even greater efficiency.  So, either these countries must live with more unemployment but large profit margins for the stockholders to reap or must encourage companies to hire people do work that machines might do with greater productivity.

In China the individual is motivated to go to work (or to school) because his primary meal is served there.  I've seen construction workers delight in the interaction among them as they handle construction materials.  I've seen, too, clerks in stores, howbeit there's many more than actually are needed, enjoy each other's company!  The point is, there's much to be said for an oversupply of workers in the workplace.

--Have been using the Cracker Barrel current events discussion group at University of Nevada, Lifelong Learning Center, as a sounding-board for some of the ideas in these Blogs; and I hope to be able to continue to do so.  This group is the best I've encountered at the universities' Lifelong Learning Centers I've attended.

Theory VII: Turks join with Iran

The Turkish military leadership has just voluntarily "resigned."  I think they haven't actually resigned, though its administrative Government may believe so.  I think they've been elevated to work out any extant deal with Iran.

It is known in some circles that Iran has an ally in China.  Iran is really the winner in the Iraqi War, recently completed, in that it is very likely that al-Sadr will come to rule Iraq.  I think China is approving of this-- Iran's--success.

In any event, the Middle East is coming out as being Muslim!  And, I think the militaries of Turkey, Iran and Egypt are to be reckoned with as its dominating force.  Altogether, they comprise the core of the new resurgence of the Muslim faith.

I understand that NATO is aligned with the Arab League to resolve the Libyan statemate.  The area's military might is the necessary ingredient.  Incidentally, Yemen appears to be folding; and Syria's President appears to be capitulating, i.e., on his way out.

I'm beginning to think all the former major powers are WHACK-O, too!
