[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are being complacent, but for those of us in middle age, there's nothing to do except dance until the music stops. I'm 44. If I could do it over I would be a house builder. But 44 is too late to start that journey.[/quote] If you had started in construction at 20, what would you do at 44+ when your body is giving out? An economy dependent on manual labor requires a robust social safety net. That's why there were so many union actions before the tech revolution. Our politicians want everybody (else) in manual jobs but they don't want the workplace safety, healthcare, pensions, etc that people literally fought and died to get in order to make those jobs tolerable.
