I garden every year. I have berry bushes, grow many herbs and in season vegetables. Even canning though I cannot possibly produce enough vegetables and fruits unless I am only going to eat tomatoes, peppers and zucchini.
You must live in a much milder climate than I. Our growing season is rather short and around halloween I had to move all my herbs inside.
The only Class Warfare in the USA is the rich against the poor. The thing is they are winning too. All the while accusing any poor who dares speak up of being involved in jealously based class warfare.
If you want evidence you need only look at the continual lowering of tax rates at the top of the scale, the shrinking real wages, and the jobless recovery.
Assuming a non-commercial operation you will likely need a lot of land for vegetables and some for raising animals. The latter is probably not even legal for most people since most communities outside very rural areas forbid ownership of livestock due to noise and pollution issues.
Unlike 19th century England today you can just keep outsourcing. India gets too expensive? Outsource to China. China too expensive? Southeast Asia, once that is too expensive, West Africa. Eventually you can outsource back to what used to be First world nations, but have slid into abject poverty.
What is really funny is back when we had very high taxes on top earners we saw real wages of the average person increasing. At the same time we were getting all that regulation you detest and we were actually ending a period of spending that makes today look like a joke.
Yeah, it would be so much cheaper if they could maim workers and show them the door, dump enough pollution into rivers to make them flammable and lock the factory doors during working hours. These days they even expect you to pay overtime and not physically/sexually abuse your workers! They used t do all the stuff before that troublesome over-regulation . I think you know that period as "The good old days".
Yeah, FSM forbid people want to be paid a reasonable wage and be able to survive not only now, but retire sometime in the future and even have healthcare. The gall of some folks to be expected to be treated like humans. Everyone knows only C level executives should get those sort of benefits.
Only if you want to drive over an hour to work. Try pricing housing near the job centers in those states. Decent housing near Atlanta or Augusta is not going to be cheap.
In much of the country $70k a year will put you in Homer Simpsons shoes.
Depending on your employer healthcare may well be out of reach at the wage, or at least a very big chunk of it. A few years ago I almost switched jobs for a rather large pay increase, tens of thousands, the increase in healthcare costs made the raise nearly pointless so I did not change jobs. I would have come out maybe a couple thousand a head, but would have gone from 19 days vacation to 5.
What will really happen is a shitty apartment will be all you can afford. Houses will rot as banks own them. You can forget about any car much less a new one. Hope your city has decent public transit.
Otherwise I the android owner will be forced to buy a GM and my iPhone using friends will have to buy a VW and the one person I know using WinPhone will have to get a ford.
Then two years later, when we all upgrade devices, none of our cars will work. Unless we upgrade them as well since the knew phones will require an upgraded interface that does not support our new devices.
I would say having most of your workforce in India, especially when we are talking about decent jobs not factory slave, is far more than a symbolic change.
If this keeps going the only jobs in the USA will be retail, CEO and no job.
Any links to a decent one? What i would really like is to at least provide power and accept hdmi. That way I can play sound and show the navigation display from the phone.
Yes, I have a passenger that uses the device or I stop driving to do so.

I have seen that life and we are all screwed. Being a dirt farmer is no fun.

Not everyone wants to live in a little shoebox. I meant look at the price of homes in those areas.
Name the plan and company.
Show your work.
Birth control is included by 99% of plans as it saves them from paying for births.
Costs for many would go down anyway, as the insurer must now spend a minimum amount of money on care instead of executive bonuses.

I like how you picked the recent past when real wages fell and outsourcing was going up.
Any other insight on this situation you clearly have no idea about outside of your ideology?
How much land do you have?

Are you stupid or a liar?
Companies with less than 50 employees are totally exempt.

Not a chance in hell.

By keeping the wage at $17k/year, ask for a raise and your job gets outsourced.
It needs to be FREE not standardized.

Talk about vague. Any idea what filesystems it supports or if it supports MTP?
What would be nice is if the in car system had no brains at all. Just worked at display and speakers for the smartphone.
What does that matter?
By then we will think $17k/year is a good wage.

My car is too old for bluetooth and usb. I use a 12v to usb adaptor to power it
My smartphone does voice dialing just fine though.
To listen to music on the device in the car I use one of those fm radio transmitters.
Over all I already meet my needs I would just like it to be more elegant.
Seems like we need a standardized method of marking where to put them. Like all cars have lift points for where the jacks go.
Can we have something more standardized so I don't have to buy a walled garden device?
Usb mini and hdmi would be fine by me. HDMI if the car has an integrated display.

Failing to clean it up can be a criminal offense. Go spill a few thousand gallons of oil on your neighbors property and see what the courts say.
