It's been a while since I have posted (but there will be more on that later). In the midst of New Year's cleaning, two quotes which I find powerful have stuck out, and I feel it is worth posting them since this blog has in some ways become an important archive for me. Both quotes have very important messages to think about regarding the present and the future.
"We don't have a tax problem, we have a revenue problem. We've told American workers they're not valuable anymore, that it's better to do it overseas than it is right here. That's wrong. We need to reinvest in people, reinvest in manufacturing. That's how we're going to turn our economy around."
--Ed Schultz
I could not agree more. Manufacturing jobs create jobs in at least a dozen fields for American workers with and without college degrees.
"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."
--Albert Einstein
Though technology has created a myriad of benefits, its constant changes and society's reliance on technology has to a large degree made assumptions about the accessibility and abilities of large groups of people. It has also allowed people to isolate themselves, and it has in some instances taken away the value of human interaction. All this is pretty clear, but Einstein's words stick out because they were stated long before today.
