from the NY Times.
In this editorial from the leading newspaper of record in the US we learn that educational institutions are being attacked by various groups who feel that they are being discriminating against. With an ever increasing concentration of economic ownership by a class whose only interest is increasing profits, we will continue to see outsourcing of jobs, greater use of technology to eliminate jobs, and increasing numbers of disposable workers especially in the West.
Thus we can expect that the class that benefits from this trend will use the old divide-and-conquer strategy against working people by encouraging greater inter-group rivalries and blame.
If one realizes that technology is a legacy created by many generations of working people, then it is easy to understand that it cannot be owned and managed by the 1%, and used for their benefit. If that labor saving technology were social property--as it should be, working people would only have to work about 20 hours a week to sustain a reasonably comfortable and sustainable lifestyle.
