Either POTUS Gets Fast Track Or China Gets It By Default: Then What?

When I was working, I applied to work only at union shops.
I never considered myself someone who couldn't adapt to changing times, though.
I always knew I didn't want to work without unionization because that would eventually
lead to what we have now- a plethora of part-time jobs, governments begging for companies
to raise wages, activists having to demonstrate outside union structures, corporate wage thefts,
states racing to right-to work statuses.
However, I considered myself someone who could do any sort of work and still have a union framework it.
We don't have to have unionization in the same old forms we've had it in the past.
Digital Operations managers are in a brand new field. Even though there aren't many of them, they could work under a union umbrella, and so could the workers they manage.
We don't need our unions digging in to keep all the people they represent in the fossil fuel industries
in the same sort of work they've had for decades. Ergo, the Koch brothers need to become outdated and updated; and so then will their applicable work force!
Global warming and climate change are as true for blue collar workers as they are for corporate
polluters. We have to find new work, or be left in a void China creates.
If China takes over the jobs we are wasting time to preserve here, and we have no valid finger in the
pacific pie, we cannot blame them. We cannot blame anyone but ourselves.
Twenty-first century jobs go wanting in greater numbers every day,
Unions should be fighting for us to get prepared for them. Our unions should be fighting to represent us in those new professions.
Hanging on to work from the last century is impossible whether POTUS gets fast track or not.
Turning the TPP over to power brokers in the far east, trying to protect our patents and currencies
as things come up- that won't work so well in coming decades.
I am guessing we need to have a TPP now which will provide a good framework of tools and updates lasting for about the next fifty years.
We may not get this agreement in that part of the world.
That means we still are going to protect ourselves and our businesses and technologies in fits and in
starts- but those will be tiny, incremental fits and starts.
Other powers in the far east however, will be having fits and jerks along in their growing economies, but those movements will be gigantic and momentous compared to ours as we play defense.
No need to believe me though. I am not an economist. I don't even play one on TV!
Ask Governor John Huntsman. I believe, politics notwithstanding, he will be glad to tell you the truth in the detail POTUS is attempting to outline for future. Will you believe a differ expert?
