Have any of you read Andrew Yang’s book, The War on Normal People”? It is a worthwhile narrative about the direction of capital, the threat of efficiencies and automation, and the impact on ordinary workers by economic category. It is f@cking chilling.jhu72 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 11:12 am Study shows that while available jobs are increasing they are loussy quality jobs. We have all known this, job quality is seeking to compete with that of the rest of the world.

And when the bill comes due? Bye bye flyover America, because we have a nation of citizens who've convinced themselves that we're overtaxed on the Federal level.
Oh well. It all falls on deaf ears until it's too late to fix the problem.
