We could do what FDR did to boost employment.

START A WAR.

Millions of young men with no skills sent somewhere to fight. Millions of others building tanks, bullets, etc. only to have to keep building more as the ones they just build get destroyed.

It would be a workers paradise. Nearly zero unemployment.

Zero unemployment? That’s not what Klein wants. He says that “the point of life is not for everyone to work every possible hour until they die.”

[Twotone]

And China has 18 million unmarriageable men it needs to find something useful to do. I don’t want to be around to see the next war. It will be a very bloody affair.

Start a war? What did the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor represent? Germany declared war on the US on December 11, 1941.
