Good point. Spinning Jennies and Uber taxis work as scapegoats; often the mental change is the hardest.

- sfk 12y agoWhat mental change? To accept boring non-innovations as something fundamental?
- jjoonathan 12y agoNo, to accept the possibility that we will need to institute economic policy that decreases the supply of unskilled labor without punishing the unskilled laborers for working below capacity. We've done it before and we'll do it again, but in a society that (correctly) sees hard work as a personal virtue and is controlled by people with a vested interest in conflating the personal virtue with the societal virtue of promoting hard work, there's a fight every time the policies need tweaking.
