Job creation in Haft Tepe method!
Thirty or forty years ago, Milton Friedman, the late American economist, was invited to visit the communist country of China and see what solutions this cosmopolitan liberal, who claims to be so literate, has for their country’s economic deadlocks and inflation.
During this trip, Friedman will be taken to a canal digging project and they will tell him to see what we can do.
Friedman takes a look inside the canal and sees hundreds of Chinese workers digging the ground with shovels and pickaxes.
Milton is surprised and asks if you don’t have excavators and loaders in your country!
The Chinese will give him a smile that you thought that only you know economics!
We are creating jobs while digging the canal.
Friedman, who was increasing his economic literacy, asked:
Well, why did you give them a shovel? Give each of them a spoon to dig the ground with it.
In this way, employment is created for more people!
Now the same story is happening in our own Ahura land.
In a place called Haft Tepe,
Two thousand people cut reeds with reed machetes!
That is, almost in the same way that African slaves worked on sugar cane fields in the Caribbean islands three hundred years ago.
Now, the question that arises is whether Haft Tepe Sugarcane, with all its greatness, doesn’t have some harvester machines so that the work can be done easier and faster, and the employer doesn’t have to pay two thousand people.
It is interesting to know that many of the country’s sugar cane farms have harvesters, and Haft Tepe is one of the few places in this area that harvest cane in the traditional way.
According to the available evidence, during the government days of this company, no one was looking to buy new machinery. As a result, they paid salaries to two thousand people from the nation’s pocket.
It can be said that they have mercy on us!
Because it was possible to take the machete from them and replace it with a fruit knife and hire 200 thousand people!
Ever since the company was handed over to the private sector, due to all the financial and legal problems, they were only able to purchase a few of these devices over the years.
It is clear that the more agricultural land is cultivated with these machines, the less the need for reed cutting workers.
Now look once more at the Haft Tepe dispute, beyond the privatization-nationalization debate of the company:
Whether it is a private company or a government one, it is necessary for machines to replace reed cutters. As a result, the costs of the employer will be reduced and he will be able to supply sugar at a lower price and benefit eighty million people. These 80 million people probably use the rest of their money to buy chips and ketchup and help businesses in other areas.
summary
Just as the mafia of the automobile industry violated the right to choose eighty million people through import restrictions, at least two thousand honest workers of Haft Tepe Nibori sector became one of the obstacles to reducing the price of sugar in the market with their sharp machetes.
the result
At least the advantage of privatization is that you and I will not have to pay the cost of upgrading the equipment or the salaries of incompetent personnel.
