He may be correct about OWS, but he is wrong about the economy when he says the economy has moved on and is not coming back, and comparing the changes to the invention of the factory.
His analogy fits postal workers that have been made redundant by email, but it doesn’t fit the larger part of the work force, that has been laid off, not to automation, but due to the outsourcing of jobs overseas.
That should never have happened to the extent that it did. And it is reversible. That’s a direct consequence of our trade policies and record low tariffs.

Technically you’re right. We could get those job back, we’d just have to adapt to a lifestyle more like Bulgaria. And that’s because we also need to decapitate our unions and return to common sense regarding environmental and labor laws.
