"Maybe we should be working on better ways to get the poor educated and integrated with modern society"
So you want an order of magnitude more competition for your own job?
Maybe we should be doing what we did in the 1930s when there was a similar 'surplus of labor' - creating jobs which create valuable public works like LaGuardia or the Lincoln Tunnel instead of pretending that if aggregate demand is weak, it's because everybody already has everything that they need.
- ddingus 9y agoAgreed. And doing that will put a lot of money into demand, which translates into more and better business opportunities. I visit the great places created by CCC, WPA type efforts and value them, even in their often current state of disrepair. More please. Worth it.
