22. Just as the eduardian service jobs died off, industrialization
Sun May 21, 2017, 03:23 PM
May 2017

Has been replaced with technology and globalization. It's never going to sink in that the un-educated will never have a living wage. Blame whoever you want.

Factory work is mostly gone, along with coal mining and lumberjacks. But people cling to what they know, even when it no longer works.

Choosing to blame minorites is the refuge of the dinosaurs. It's handy, as long as you have someone who wants to hear you bellyache. After that, does't help one bit.
