Inequality Is Only Getting Worse

5. It's bothered me to see...

some posters here make comments like, "Those jobs aren't coming back! Get educated and move!"

It's usually in reference to people sticking around coal mining or rust belt areas. It just seems a bit heartless to me, not different than someone suggesting the same "solution" to people in poor inner cities.

It costs money to go to school and to move! Not to mention that it's scary for many people due to familiarity.

We're pretty much at the whim of "free markets" and "globalization" according to those people. No real direction... just blind faith that it will produce the best results!

If we're going to keep that model, then I personally think it's time for corporations to pay for all higher education and a universal basic income! They're the ones who want these new skills! They should pay for it! I consider it another "hidden cost" that they avoid! Like the "hidden cost" of pollution that they're always trying to avoid paying!

What next? People who join the military don't get paid until they're adequately trained, and they have to pay for all of their training beforehand too? Oh, never mind! That won't be encouraged because the military is something that the wealthy don't want to jeopardize!
