Isn’t the Atlantic another Leftist “intellectual-elite” magazine rife with half-truths and false assumptions?
It’s due to a lack of toxic masculinity. Real men have about died off and I’m not feeling too good myself.
That’s a pretty condescending title. Crummy little word smith has none of the skills needed for either job set
Sorry guys. This is no longer Obama’s economy. You wasted your time because you based your work on an outdated model.
Tech is power and the aging of America means job security and expanded opportunities.
The trades are rife with opportunities as well.
“And more and more of the country will be paid to take care of old people.”
I’ve shelled out over $42,000 in the past 5 years for 3 hours a week to ‘help’ my elderly Dad.
It’s a total racket. I’ve finally gotten him into Care Wisconsin which is run by Medicare/Medicaid and now *I* am being paid to help care for him, along with his best care worker that I stole away from another company. ;)
I can see this being a VERY cut-throat and successful industry as the rest of us get older and grayer.
One of the smartest business models I’ve seen popping up around here is that someone builds a rather large home, complete with a communal kitchen and lots of bedrooms with their own bathrooms, and all on one floor. Then, you hire a RN or two to be on staff and you and your family live there, too, overseeing things, in somewhat separate quarters. (A friend recovering from a heart transplant lived in a situation like this before he could go home again; he loved it.)
I’m sure it takes some capital to get it up and running, but it would be a real money maker after that; people around here are BEGGING for safe places to stow their elderly and infirm. ;)
I’m actually pretty bullish about that - automobile deaths were a serious scandal when the auto first became popularized. But the genie of mobility was out of the bottle, and wasn’t going back in easily. Even tho we have, what - 30,000 highway fatalities a year? And how many serious injuries annually on top of that???Automobile autopilots have a liability problem - but when the competition is manual driving with its scores of thousands of annual casualties . . .
That’s a serious opportunity there. "Automation will stay off the roads" - until suddenly it doesn’t.
The world/USA will always need:
-Food
-Housing
-plumbing
-electricians
-linemen
I’m sure I left out a few. There is plenty of trade work out there that will pay well. No, you can’t sit on your butt and type on a computer, but it’s good work with good pay.
Oh great. All we need is those bossy nurses running things
It's propaganda by any other name.
Are these economists Obamites or Trumpians? If this tax cut goes through, and deregulation proceeds, their gloomy forecast may go right out the window.
