The victims are literally left behind by the forward march of progress. Previously, the rate of change was much less, so it was easy to speak about retraining, going back to school, etc. But nowadays things are moving fast, and accelerating. It's going to get more and more difficult to provide a soft landing for those who are falling off the back of the ascending, accelerating rocket. It's only going to get worse. And the irony is, it's happening because of something that's considered good overall - progress. We need some radical changes in how we think of... uh... everything I guess. Jobs. Social security. A man's worth. You name it, it's in there.
