Again, when we say Bill Clinton created 25M jobs, its usually met with chants of "dot com dot com!", yet you guys really cant connect the dots to "dot com" and the rise of technology?

We have microchips and robots that do the job of 10 people. Did you really think they would keep the humans? Instead of shouting outdated slogans from the 90s, we need to create an economy that can adapt. Bernie is not the candidate that can do that. Especially if he's going to limit open markets. What the hell does he expect people to do for work?
