[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think as a country we are complacent, and educated (white?) people as a group are complacent about the next generation. We have forgotten the space race and national push to educate kids so they would have good options. My parents were blue collar and busted their butts so I could go to college and live better than they did - not so their grandkids could work as Uber drivers and gig-economy coders with no benefits.

I've also noticed a fantasy that displaced white collar workers will somehow fill all the underpaid pink collar jobs - teachers, childcare, home health aides, etc - as if that wouldn't represent a massive cut nationally to incomes and spending power and tax base. We think we can chronically underpay a bunch of necessary workers until there's a shortage, and then try to fill those jobs not by paying more but by destroying the higher paying fields whose workers primarily consume and pay for those services.

It's basically a push to create a new slave class, but in this case, the goal is to place about 80-90% of the population into that class. [/quote]
