Well... there’s something to be said for “keeping everyone happy and ignorant” — so they’ll keep spending their money and boosting business... no matter what is coming down the pike ... :-)
If you have a job that pays well. ;)
The problem is business is gaining productivity by having people do more for the same or less pay. Also, without job creation each year more and more young people coming out of school are finding it tougher to get started. Japan lost a decade with this kind of economic malfeasance.
