Great line! Yes indeed. Instead of improving the education and value of workers to earn a better wage, they tried to up the wage despite the worker’s value. We’re going to have trouble soon in this country with spare unqualified labor.

I think we saw that in a couple of American cities the last couple of years....
It's global, and we're already seeing trouble. It takes a relatively small percentage of people to do the real work. The problem is what to do to occupy people with no responsibilities and lots of idle time. The drug epidemic, unruly behavior, violence/terrorism and a lack of achievement are all at least in part due to young people being enabled to lead unproductive lives with no responsibilities to others.
These scenarios never end well in movies about the future.

we already do. i read that BLM stats show six million jobs are sitting unfilled right now, presumably due to lack of qualified workers. in the mean time, we have 47% on the dole.
