‘This argument is immensely pleasing to the technocratic mind. It suggests that our core economic malfunction is technical – a simple asymmetry. You have workers on one side and good jobs on the other, and all it takes is training to match them up. Indeed, every president since Bill Clinton has talked about training American workers to fill the “skills gap”. But gradually, one mainstream economist after another has come to realize what most workers have known for years: the gap doesn’t exist. Even Larry Summers has concluded it’s a myth.The problem isn’t training. The problem is there aren’t enough good jobs to be trained for. The solution is to make bad jobs better, by raising the minimum wage and making it easier for workers to form a union, and to create more good jobs by investing for growth. This involves forcing business to put money into things that actually grow the productive economy rather than shoveling profits out to shareholders. It also means increasing public investment, so that people can make a decent living doing socially necessary work like decarbonizing our energy system and restoring our decaying infrastructure.‘
I’ve literally been saying for years a lot of these programs are at best Brain Drains™, and this is honestly kinda worse?
for all that people talk about man-hating lesbians, you will never find someone as directly man-hating as a normie straight woman who is very smart and observant and has spent her life under the thumb of a man who is very stupid and callous.
like a lesbian says she doesn’t like men and everyone freaks out meanwhile aunt virginia over there with her fifth bloody mary talking about how if women had any self-respect they would execute all men like the insects they are
