From http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bl_jacquard.htm:

Joseph Marie Jacquard’s invention was fiercely opposed by the silk-weavers, who feared that its introduction, owing to the saving of labor, would deprive them of their livelihood. However, its advantages secured its general adoption, and by 1812 there were 11,000 looms in use in France. The loom was declared public property in 1806, and Jacquard was rewarded with a pension and a royalty on each machine.

Technology is a double edge sword. It can displace jobs and threaten people’s livelihoods. The Internet makes it easy to communicate with someone far away. It also makes it easy for corporations to relocate jobs to countries with cheaper labour (India, China, Philippines, etc.).

I would like to start a disscussion on the pros and cons of "offshore outsourcing". Should the local government place limits on outsourcing?

I am in a local government position where me and my co-worker have the same position title, but I fear being labeled a "slacker" because he often puts out 110% for the work that he does. I hate competition, but I do the best that I can. Yet, I often get outfoxed by him, because he is more outgoing than myself.

Do I need to find a new job, if it frustrates me that much?

News is reporting a ridiculous amount of ticketing by cops. I drove 1 block down the street only to find over 5 people pulled over. Everywhere you go someone was getting some kind of ticket.

Is the local government raping us to keep their FAT high paying jobs? I’m a contractor and the bldg department has been hurting for tax dollars, and they have been rejecting permits and fining re-inspection fees for stupid things. How much more will the people take?

Local government councils have refused white people jobs, because they have to have a set quota of "ethnic minority" people. The BBC (a government controlled media) refuse to report on racist attacks against white people, whilst repeatedly bringing up stories of supposedly racist attacks against ethnic minorities (even when the accused have been found innocent in court). Given the security alert today, they are still allowing Musilms to board planes, although during the world cup they denied entry to planes for anyone who was suspected of being a football hooligan. They also changed the law a few years ago, and now anyone accused of "racism" is actually guilty until proven innocent, with the truth being no defence (race relations act 2000).

Has anyone ever had any experience of job posts being deleted in local government and asking it’s employee’s to re-apply for their jobs? What does this mean? Thing is it’s not for me, just heard my old team have had this done to them. Is it quite likely they will get their jobs back as they are favourites?

My boyfriend is a leuitenant in the National Guard, he’s been with them for 9 years. He also has a bachelor’s in political science and business. He wants a job that he can make a difference, but doesn’t want to make policies. He needs to get started and end his job as a mall cop. He would love to do city management. How can he get started? What kind of jobs can get him visible for local government positions?

I am in my early thirtys and have come to a dead end in my current job hence the need to change direction. I am college educated and have always had an intrest in politics. I’m trying to figure out what would be the best way for me to break in to the political field in either state or local government, or one of the main party’s in the state. I realize this is a big topic but anything that would help to point me in the right direction would help. Thanks.
