You know how else you get to "full employment"? By eating all the unemployed. It's scarcely less ethical than what the government and NYT are doing here. (1)

You know how else you get to "full employment"? By eating all the unemployed. It's scarcely less ethical than what the government and NYT are doing here.
(1) Define "full employment" as 95.3% of the "workforce".
(2) Define "workforce" to exclude arbitrarily many groups.
(3) Ignore all the people who've been forced into one of the excluded groups.
This is not full employment in any reasonable sense of the word. Not unless "full health care coverage" is 95.3% of people who are above the poverty line and have no preexisting conditions.

The Circle K by my house had an architectural engineer for awhile, but he got away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal
