(67,101 posts)especially the last paragraph. "I worked in the DOL for 24 years and could see what was coming. I am really puzzled at why the American worker embraced all of this mayhem. Now the next generation seems to be doomed to a life of low wages and virtual poverty."
I've been really puzzled too at why the American worker embraced all of this mayhem ... it's almost as if they feel they deserve oppression. It's weird ... people should be embracing change for the better, but yet they often vote for those that will oppress them most, be it jobs, healthcare, civil rights, whatever, many opt for and embrace oppression and persecution. And religion has become strange, many seemingly wanting oppression, persecution and some type of theocratic dystopia.
And you aptly summed up other areas of grave concern, this bizarre mixture of incivility, gun extremism, bigotry, etc.
I look toward the future with trepidation, but yet at the same time am extremely happy we have Obama and Biden.
