OP doesn't realize that 87% of the US population (being one of the richest in the world) makes less than $90k.
That means that by his view 9 persons out of 10 won't be able to retire. Which I actually believe is true.
The irony of admitting this while at the same time praising this system with statements like
>Part (by no means all) of the growth one sees abroad is due to acceptance and often positive attitudes about work, with less emphasis on "fairness".
What kind of growth are we seeing? Why should we have a positive attitude about work, when it's just a mean of transfering wealth upwards?

- pietrovismara 5y agoThat's what it has become in an economic system that failed at its only task, ensuring proper distribution of resources. Most jobs serve only the purpose of making a restricted group of people richer, while stealing the workers' time on earth and often worsening society. Edit: if you think that's not true, you live in a bubble. Try some of the jobs the majority of the population has to put up with, then we can talk again.
