subsidized and mechanized u s corn on the mexican market see the cotton example in the previous entry devastated the rural mexican economy the non mechanized small farmers of rural mexico couldn t compete and threw in the towel much like african americans half a century before they too began a mass migration to el norte to look for work millions of migrants primarily from northern mexico flooded into the united states in a very short time span to do the work americans supposedly didn t want to do rural economies especially in the southwest had long depended upon migrant labor from mexico but now that model was expanded to all aspects of the unskilled labor market building and construction child care cooking cleaning gardening landscaping laundry food service delivery manual labor and so forth america became a bilingual society overnight and the ability to speak spanish increasingly became a job requirement for many positions free trade as u s corn flows south mexicans stop farming mcclatchy unlike blacks who had been confined to the ghetto outside of dixie mexicans went to all locations rural urban and suburban forming a massive exploited proletariat willing to work for much much less than native born americans the third largest influx of foreign currency into the mexican economy is remittances from mexicans living abroad mainly in the united states the mexican government no longer had to deal with poverty or unemployment within their own borders they could export their poverty to the united states and watch the currency roll in despite handwringing both major parties supported this trend supported by campaign cash even as they condemned it in public wages dropped and profits soared immigration as a reverse election our leaders get a new people fabius maximus in the 1990 2000 s competition from chinese workers abroad and mexican immigrants at home finally decisively broke the back of the white working class who had been able to escape the devastation wrought on black community due to automation in the 1960 1970s at the same time the costs of higher education soared into the stratosphere as college increasingly became the tollbooth to the few remaining middle class jobs which had not been not offshored americans were required to mortgage their future and become indentured servants for even just a chance at acquiring jobs which paid more than minimum wage in the new service economy promoted by professional economists older whites who were made redundant when factory jobs shut down used disability as a de facto basic income guarantee scheme disability became the white welfare even as whites continued to disparage black welfare queens while welfare reform had shifted responsibility onto cash strapped state and local governments disability was still paid for by federal dollars just as with blacks a lot of lip service was paid to worker retraining for the nonexistent jobs supposedly created by automation social work health care and government jobs became the only economic activity in vast swaths of middle america as the circle of prosperity receded and just like blacks the whites were increasingly blamed for the reality of their own circumstances as the jobs disappeared here s paul krugman discussing the shift there was a great deal of alarm over the troubles of the african american community where social disorder was on the rise even as explicit legal discrimination although not de facto discrimination was coming to an end there were all kinds of theories ranging from cultural hand waving to claims that it was all because of welfare but some people notably william julius wilson argued that the underlying cause was economic good jobs while still fairly plentiful in america as a whole were disappearing from the urban centers where the a a population was concentrated and the social collapse while real followed from that underlying cause this story contained a clear prediction namely that if whites were to face a similar disappearance of opportunity they would develop similar behavior patterns and sure enough with the hollowing out of the middle class we saw via mark thoma what kevin williamson at national review describes as the welfare dependency the drug and alcohol addiction the family anarchy and what is the lesson why that poor whites are moral failures and they should move to where there are opportunities where it s really extraordinary oh and lots of swipes at food stamps welfare programs disability insurance which conservatives insist is riddled with fraud despite lots of evidence to the contrary it s surely worth noting that other advanced countries with much more generous welfare states aren t showing anything like the kind of social collapse we re seeing in the u s heartland the idea that somehow food stamps are why we re breaking bad is utterly at odds with the evidence just as an aside since someone will bring it up all of those other advanced economies are just as open to trade as we are so whatever you think of free trade it doesn t necessarily cause social collapse return of the undeserving poor paul krugman why conservatives are talking about struggling white people the way they usually talk about black people slate the rise of donald trump comes as no surprise then trump combines the white racial grievance and hatred wielded by the republican party to win lower income white votes with a critique of the vanishing jobs and hollowing out of the labor market for lower income whites due to outsourcing and mass immigration from mexico other republicans dependent upon funding from the donor class who benefited disproportionately from outsourcing and immigration could not pursue this line of rhetoric trump a real estate magnate self funding his own campaign for vanity reasons could say these things polls show that a majority of trump voters see discrimination against whites as a major concern white americans who had seen their lives and communities decimated by decades of globalism finally had a champion who promised to bring their jobs back while keeping blacks and mexicans in line in other words to make america great again americans fear a life of dead end crap jobs with crap wages cnn money detroitification there was no universal basic income for blacks left jobless by automation there was no wealth redistribution there was no compensating the losers there was no sharing the fruits of the technology rather there was scapegoating dehumanizing divide and conquer blame hatred discrimination resentment and abuse from the hard working winners against the lazy growing pile of losers in the past that was mainly along color lines now it s increasingly along class lines what makes you think the new effects from ongoing automation will be any different does anyone think we will come to our senses and realize that there simply aren t enough jobs to go around or will we continue to insist on individual solutions for what are ultimately societal problems while education may be fine to help one s individual standing it has never in and of itself produced jobs where there are none to be had education is not a solution to automation fabius maximus what does the african american experience portend about our future in the age of automation the poor majority will become trapped in ghettos homeless encampments and slumburbs as america balkanizes along income lines your fate will be increasingly tied to the accident of where you were born already social mobility is primarily determined by your zip code and what your parents income is libertarian economists are already predicting a future where 80 90 percent of us are zero marginal product workers living in internet enabled shantytowns with minimal public services and dining on canned beans while 10 15 percent of americans live like today s millionaires rather than invest in methods to create new jobs we will instead opt for a massive police state prisons guard labor and mass incarceration already we see the police routinely using weapons that we would normally associate with war zones increasingly keeping other americans in line will become a major source of employment and building prisons and exploiting prisoners will become a major profit center for corporate america instead of selling new and innovative products which most americans will be too poor to buy anyway aside from a few electronic toys education will continue to be touted as the salvation for people even as the amount of jobs declines and the educational and experience requirements keep going up for even the most basic jobs people who are not able to acquire this lengthy and expensive education for whatever reason will be blamed for their own plight already employers are charging workers just to apply for jobs the social maladies caused by a disappearance of family supporting jobs and hope for the future will increasingly be pointed to as the cause of the dysfunction drug abuse is now causing devastation in the white community just as thoroughly as it has in the black community charles murray an intellectual for conservative think tanks wrote a book called the bell curve in the 1990 s arguing that african americans inferior iq s were at the root of their plight now he s saying similar things about poor whites left unemployed by automation his new book coming apart argues that poor whites inferior moral behavior is the ultimate cause of the ongoing destruction of their communities if they would just get married and hit the books he claims there would be no problem expect to see a lot more of this line of thinking coming out of right wing think tanks and promoted in the corporate media as jobs continue to disappear bill black aei pushes government propaganda telling women to marry schlubs naked capitalism marriage promotion is a destructive cargo cult interfluidity you also have a recrudescence of social darwinist philosophy those who can t hack it in the free market deserve to die for the good of the species according to a small but powerful segment of the business community enthralled by a crude combination of ayn rand s writings mixed with a bastardization of charles darwin e g the dark enlightenment philosophy popular in silicon valley mouthbreathing machiavellis dream of a silicon reich the baffler even as certain quarters tout education as the way out funding for education is being slashed at every level particularly by republicans in his book the falling rate of learning and the neoliberal endgame david j blacker points out that as corporate america needs less and less people they simply don t see a need to invest in mass education anymore hence it is being dismantled the people who already have dynastic wealth and resources will be fine everyone else will not the ladder to the middle class is being pulled up with perennially too few jobs for workers employees will just have to compete for the few remaining slots using whatever resources they have at their disposal in a winner take all musical chairs game as for the rest as blacker points out the precedent here is the eliminationist literature of the german holocaust what is the best way for authorities to deal with the excess undesirables in society in his online novel manna marshall brain imagines large amounts of people made jobless due to automation herded into vast open air prisons and living as wards of the state he s overly optimistic we already have such prisons today and they are nowhere near as pleasant benign neglect is the best case scenario the worst is the work camps of the holocaust work makes us free american prisoners are already a major source of labor for corporations philadelphia closes 23 schools lays off thousands builds huge prison gawker forget basic income schemes as the jobs disappeared over the past few decades support for the safety net did not increase in fact just the opposite the poorer people get the stronger the desire to cast them as lazy freeloaders and shred what little remains of the social safety net not expand it in the 1990 s clinton promised to end welfare as we know it even as jobs disappear more stringent requirements for working and finding a job are foisted upon the poor as the percentage of minorities in america increases to become the majority a contradiction i know it becomes easier to attribute the lack of jobs on people just not wanting to work to conservative suburban whites who still have jobs even as their numbers shrink consider nearly all the states with the highest percentage of minimum wage workers full time jobholders making 290 a week before taxes are in the south these are also the same states that refuse to expand medicaid to allow the working poor to get health care and it s in the same cradle of the old confederacy where discriminatory bills are rising don t blame the cities from birmingham to charlotte people are trying to open doors to higher wages and tolerance of gays only to be rebuffed at the state level a mason dixon line of progress new york times hundreds of thousands of people could soon lose food stamps as states reimpose time limits and work requirements that were suspended in recent years because of high unemployment state officials and advocates for the poor said friday hundreds of thousands could lose food stamps as states restore limits miami herald alabama republicans say they want a new bill to drastically limit state welfare programs so that recipients will get jobs but the bill eliminates the most common means of transportation to and from work the bill created by republican sen arthur orr cuts the time frame for assistance from five years to three it also creates a new layer of bureaucracy for poor people seeking help including the requirement that they sign a contract vowing to adhere to the program s rules it also disqualifies people from getting food stamps or financial assistance for families with children if the recipients own cars according to the montgomery advertiser alabama republican wants to stop people on food stamps from owning cars but expects them to get jobs raw story the end of welfare as we know it the atlantic automation has already made a huge portion of the workforce irrelevant we just pretend that it didn t happen and the jobs intended to replace them the ones we couldn t even imagine turned out not to exist so no surprise we couldn t imagine them then this has been going on since the 1960 s we just dumped it one specific group of people until very recently people that we could treat as nonhumans thanks to our attitudes about race now it coming for all of us outside of a tiny slice of hereditary wealthy and well connected elites as jeremy rifkin writes not surprisingly the first community to be devastated by the cybernetic revolution was black america with the introduction of automated machines it was possible to substitute less costly inanimate forms of labor for millions of african americans who had long toiled at the bottom of the economic pyramid fir...
