We must change the way we do business. This morning as I ponder on the commodification of our Canadian media I am again confronted with the mantra of the productivity index. We must get rid of the productivity economic index splashed around by our controlled media and Statistics Canada, and instead value the employment and health of our people as better indexes of our societal welfare.
We already mentioned that the productivity index (GDP per hour per worker) has no meaning when this same productivity index increases by putting people out of work. Therefore, it is my conclusion that the productivity index is a brainwashing expedient designed by our hegemonic leadership to confuse people at large, to increase profits against wages, and to cover the failures of our globalized and monopolized economy to end poverty, to end wars, and to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.
