French president declares economic emergency
- MrTonyD 11y agoWhen I read this article in light of the just published numbers showing that 32 people have a wealth equivalent to half the world's population - I have to ask myself, is worker training the right solution to the jobs and wage problems? To me, it obviously isn't, and ignores all the real root causes for loss of jobs and wages. After a career in Silicon Valley, I've worked with several multi-billionaires and many multi-millionaires. They all use offshore accounts to hide both corporate and personal income - effectively transferring huge wealth to themselves. To me, we first need to make these "tricks" transparent, so that we can identify the problem properly. And that is a technical problem - we need laws and software to track all these currently invisible wealth transfers.
