There Is No Economic Future For The Younger Generations Under 55 Now.

If things are not radically changed and the GOP is not snuffed out as it currently stands there is no economic future. Decisions on labor issues will guarantee that the younger generations will live a below standard life. The GOP wants a market economy with no substantial labor laws to protect workers rights. Women will be most severely impacted and unequal pay will get worse.

In a GOP free market economy there is no Fair Labor Standards Act. And there is no fool level federal minimum wage. Wages will be based on market condition before the New Deal.

Tremendous structural damage by the GOP has already been done. There is no job security.

The issue of how we build an economy that works for every able body and mind person that wants work is a pressing societal issue, particularly with automation and artificial intelligence ravaging jobs.

has had his account flagged for review. I’ve no idea why. Presumably he said something daft somewhere.

that they - and we - create through concerted political and social effort. As long as the younger demographic continues to sit out elections or play purity politics they’ll continue to see thing slide inexorably away.
