Lithuanian economists and the government are constantly talking about attracting investments from abroad. In reality, we are talking about jobs that are expected to be taken from Western European countries on the basis of our catastrophically low wages (at our prices). This is called wage arbitrage. That era has already passed, because politically now such things cease to be realistic. We have to look for ways to buy robots or sell fantasy movies about the war with the Russians.
"C.E.O.s like me grew up in the era
of wage arbitrage, where we felt like we could put jobs anywhere we wanted to
and have people still love us. Those days are long over. I moved refrigerator
manufacturing back from Mexico to the U.S.
So over time, I became cognizant
that there was a reason why American society didn’t trust business. And it had
a lot to do with wage arbitrage, outsourcing — things that really had a
negative impact on the high-end industrial worker that was so essential. In a
town like Erie, Pa., people don’t go from working at G.E., making $36 an hour,
to working at factory X making $30 an hour. They go from earning $36 an hour to
earning $15 an hour. And that gap is a hugely negative impact. I get that."
It is time to get this, too, for our cannabis, bribe, and sand that smells like cat urine lovers, the Lithuanian liberals, who now rule us.
