I agree that the status-quo is terrible. Here in the UK the welfare state has gone out of control. No one is arguing for people to be homeless and its not the fault of the working class. It lies squarely on the fault of the govt. I notice houses falling apart at the same time 23 year old are on welfare. I am sympathic towards disabled people but a lot of disabled people could help run shops and participate in white collar work. Heck - There is a massive demand for teaching english to Africans and Chinese. My point is there is no shortage of work. Right now not only are a huge percentage of adults on welfare due to demographics reasons - average age is higher. But adults with perfectly good education are also on welfare. How is that possible ? It shows a massive loss of potential in society. And its going to get worse as more people enter old age and are unable to work for any job. I think a lot of people in the west are completely oblivious to the fact that so much labour is needed to produce their clothes, iphones, fossil fuels, coffee, . . Just because you cannot see it doesn't mean some person in rural china is not picking tea for you. And because of deflation ppl complain that its "too expensive to hire in canada/england/US" The fact is the world price point has shifted and money supply hasn't been keeping up. Almost everything is cheaper due to the force of the globalization economy. Not politically but economically. This should have resulted an aggressive move towards a more unified form of global governance, but there wasn't enough political will. Imagine when a english major graduates in the States they get to travel to africa to teach thousand of kids english. Or labour moving to Europe to transform the infrastructure and install solar panels. Or a concession amoung europeans and africans to solarize the sahara and provide clean energy for europe and africa. The only country that is able to do this ( limited form ) is china in 2015. But I hope more countries can work to solve the big problems of humanity.
