There's an agenda behind that demand, and it goes like this...
Those who've been made jobless should just resign themselves to eternally traveling from town to town, state to state, region to region, never establishing residency or becoming part of a community.
They should accept becoming part of a subculture of permanent economic migrants...forever traveling, unable to stay anywhere long enough to establish human connections, organize for their rights, or even become eligible to vote, thus leaving the non-migrant economic minority in total control of the political and economic order in all localities and states.
And, while this may apply to those below you or I on the economic ladder today...tomorrow, it will be expected of us as well. We will ALL become part of the "reserve army of the semi-employed".
And the wealthy will rule all of us like feudal liege lords.
This is what "labor market flexibility" means, people...a tiny, rooted few and a rootless, friendless, hopeless many.
