@kausmickey Trade in itself isn’t destroying MC jobs. Trade in a post-Bretton Woods era is problematic. Fix the global monetary system.
@kausmickey @wrmead exact -people saw this coming 30 yrs ago no answer but estab didn’t slow it but sped it up with trade deals and immig
@kausmickey Yes in the world of common sense and patriotism. But not in Mead World at Bard College
@timrouth @kausmickey Well said. Like a balloon with no skin on it.

@kausmickey Actions of Elite leaders only make sense if goals are chaos & destruction of old order (mid class) & a new order established.
@kausmickey This displacement is occurring on many levels now. There is at least temp value in economics of friction. Heat is the problem.
@kausmickey Trump actually playing footsie w/ as he talks of new int’l group to “battle ISIS”. Just change to “battle post-Bretton Woods”!
@kausmickey @wrmead The death of the pink model – the system no longer needs pontificating cathedral shills – walter your fired!

@kausmickey @wrmead probably not possible to slow w/o causing worse probs. Like trying to slow income inequality.
@kausmickey I think it’s likely too late to turn back from free trade and its damaging effects on the US. The world will never be the same.
