The front page of Vdare.com raises some interesting questions about jobs and the upcoming Jobs Summit. Vdare.com is doing a funds drive, which is why their front page articles are not visible, but a great commentary on the Jobs Summit is. You can still read their blogs by world famous writers and researchers, like me for instance!So, putting two and two together, you might wonder why I prefer to write for Vdare.com. Peter Brimelow makes as compelling an argument as I can think of:
What this means: essentially everything you give goes to pay writers and editors.Of course don’t forget to support my efforts directly by going to the ZaZona donation page. I have a website too, and electricity and computer equipment aren’t free.Our writers and editors are not paid as much as I would like. But they do get something. This ability to pay our writers is what has distinguished VDARE.COM from a host of excellent but evanescent blogs which have come and gone.
Writers will often write for love — because they passionately believe in our cause. But in the long run, they need to be able to justify the time spent, to their families and to themselves.
Roy Beck at NumbersUSA has a good commentary on the jobs summit, although it’s beyond me why he didn’t mention H-1B.
OK, now back to Obama’s "Forum on Jobs and Economic Growth" coming up this Thursday. The list of attendees will make you cringe, and it should make the mainstream media ask whether there is enough balance between corporations, ivory tower economists, and workers. Looking through this list to speak on our behalf we have, uh, hmmmmmm — near the bottom of the list there is Leo Gerard, United Steel Workers, and Joe Hansen, United Food and Commercial Workers. Oh well, so much for balance — the summit should be called something like "Flat Earthers for Obama".
