It’s about liars, uh I mean lawyers. Meh! (No I didn’t read the entire article.)

"The Tucker Carlson school of anti-capitalism..."

How does the author arrive at this assessment of Tucker?

Every Hollywood movie is a corporation.

You can see who the employees of the corporation are at the end of the movie, in the credits.

Once the movie is made, the corporation goes out of business. It’s employees are almost all unemployed. They go looking to join another corporation.

That’s the model for the future.

Just except it this says. Just except a coming generation that the high point of the day will be finding something that numbs their minds because they don’t have a job to go to because the robot or Juan gets all the jobs

My brother worked for CITI for 29 years. Handled large projects at the VP level...DUMPED at 55. Told him it was coming 2 yrs ago because that’s the way they roll today.

One of many reasons I didn’t hang around the big law firm I joined right off of active duty. It’s just me, one of-counsel attorney and three support staff. We generally like our clients, we do very little ligitation anymore, I don’t make a huge amount of money, I can mention Christ prominently on my website and in my office, and I can take my wife to see the grandson pretty much whenever I want. For me, that’s success.

Except for Federal Gov employees, there has never been a job guarantee.

The author raises some good points here, but he could write 17 columns a day for a month with some more information about the "unintended side effects" of the trends he describes.

They are not thinking to themselves, "I wonder what kind of apartment I'll have in Abu Dhabi." They are thinking, "How am I going to pay the mortgage?"

Only the older ones are thinking about the mortgage. The younger ones have figured out that there is an inherent incompatibility between a 30-year mortgage (or even a FIVE-year mortgage) and a career with 10+ different employers before you reach the age of 40.

Many of our fathers and grandfathers worked for one or two companies over the whole of their working lives; the Bureau of Labor Statistics expects that today’s workers will have about 15 different employers over the course of a career — and ten different ones before age 40. Americans as a whole do not move as often for work today as they did a generation ago, but high-earning workers move relatively frequently and change employers more frequently than do lower-earning workers.

I worked for 17 companies {not counting the ones that I owned} starting in 1966. Prior to that I was in the Army, college and worked at bars and hotels.

I was always a commission salesman, and made decisions based on commission rates and the market at the time.

I didn't always pick winners and got fired several times, but I never worried about getting a job, because during those times, in the computer business, it was wide open.

Today, with different rules, I'm pretty sure, I'd have to run my own company, because I'd be getting whacked every week in the corporate world.

Unless you work for the Fed there has never been Job security.

Job security is dependent on office politics,

I think KW listed the wrong Law firm. I believe the law firm he was thinking about is known as

Law Firm of Dewey, Do'em, Screw'em, Cheatham, Righteously, & Howe.

1st chair Seymour Butts.

Billing Department Attention: Ben Dover.

Complaint Dept: Crying Harder.

2nd chair: Erving Pinkus Abroughawits, & Jonathan Pinchy Worthlessthanpiss, hasn't won a case in twenty five years', but he'll win this one.
