Slow Death of the American Worker

A lost generation of brain power. Human Resource consultants in the Washington DC area have identified the new Human resource practices as basically wiping out a generation of corporate memory. Published HR specialists cite the hiring of the pretty, the young and the cool, wiping out a generation of over fifty manpower that simply vanished! For corporations, it was the cheaper way to go. The fallout? Loss of major contracts to mediocre and under qualified companies overseas; unemployed parents...and a TV culture free of adults. Worse, a shallow economy based on paper. HR Electronic disdain for applicants, convoluted processes to compete globally for the job next door has displaced home owners; community builders, and family infrastructure. Add policing powers collecting for local budgets (such as court fees exceeding three thousand dollars for a simple parking ticket), and you have a devastated and abandoned landscape! (See infrastructure failures; demographic spikes and unemployment statistics)... Its no wonder the worth of education has devalued as people ask "For what the hefty student loans, then?" Overall, a brain drain of American born talent, skills and knowledge where everything but wages has inflated!
