america will never again be the sole standing industrial economy, technological progression has made much labor obsolete, and the world needs to wind down anyway if we want a survivable climate in the future

when i was a kid i was taught that the jobs the older generations had had were gone forever and that in the future everyone would go to college and become some kind of professional

it turns out everyone didn't go to college and many of the ones who did came out with crippling debt and no better prospects

whoops
