vol 58 — no 5 wednesday january 26 february 1 1983 group plans purchase of commodities ammcop expects economic bed of roses in 83 by abdullah luq.man the american muslim mission committee to purchase 100,000 com modities ammcop sees nothing ahead but a very bright road during 1983 and beyond the perception of a bright economic road ahead for ammcop is based upon a strong new economic vision given to us by our beloved leader imam w deen muhammad stated committee chairman samuel a bilal at a recent meeting in rochester n v attended by representatives from syracuse buffalo and toronto canada along with local residents many world experts sieve that work is going to i c so scare that the mid-1 that unemployment will have become one m the most widely shared human experiences some predict that by 1985 unemployment in the major industrial nations will have risen to 35 million that is more than twice the figure of 10 years ago and one-third greater-than it is today the ammcop perception for economic success during 1983 and beyond it a vision fashioned by the economic needs of the oppressed wasteful people ammcop's first priority is to stop us from being wasteful spendthrifts we must stop wasteful consumption and spending among the american muslim mission people and others influenced by us in the u s some theoreticians predict that there will only be two classes of people in america the rich and powerful and those who perform menial services for them already in california there is an honest political debate over whether mandatory school ing up to the age of 16 is necessary for hispanics blacks and the poor industrial robots do skilled work in a car assembly plant for less than 5 as opposed to the 15 per-hour earned by autoworkers they estimate that technology of today will put 35 million people out of work without proper education for the poor blacks and hispanics will be locked into a new form of involuntary servitude the ammcop position against waste is simple based on the premise that the isolated individual spender imam warith deen mu hammad is the honorary chairman/consultant of the american muslim mis sion cooperative buying program wastes his money when some spender could abandon his isolated spending and engage in group spending our contact with manufacturers tells us that when one spends his money on a household item automobile parts shoes or clothing and spends that money by himself that person pays from one-third to one-half to three-fourths more for an item than that person would spend if he bought collectively ammcop simply feels that once the muslims and other god-fearing people realize this mathematical truth then those persons will stop deliberately wasting their money and discontinue to put in an individual isolated ways in this manner they will help themselves the cities that they live in and their children vet to be born mi-inn jul not realize what a boom the cuban boat people would turn out to be when they started arriving in the summer of 1960 the cuban-americans entrepreneurial drive has produced a bustling business community the evidence is readily seen as one strolls through miami's little havans today 20 years later they hold posts in the boardrooms of the banks private companies and law firms the success of miami's cubans is the main reason that the rest of latin america likes to do business in miami the united states main problems are the young and the minorities on the principle last-hired and first-fired minorities and the young people find it hard to elbow their own into the extremely tight labor market there are increasingly fewer natural openings for them their cases are further complicated by the questions raised by their displacement of older and less adequate workers most of
