There is a narrative on this board that assumes that underemployment is a function of laziness, lack of drive., etc. BS. Many people I know worked long and hard, with advanced technical degrees, only to find themselves "outsourced". The blandishments about "re-tooling" and "re-educating" are insulting. These people could pick up on any new technology if they were employed. Most of us who are not trust-funded do not have the start-up cash many businesses need, nor are we able to tell the mortgage companies and utilities to "hold off a year or two" while we get a new idea off the ground. The reality for even the professional classes is that we rely on a paycheck to live - a a $4/hr job picking lettuce is not going to do it.
If the US is going to be a technological leader, it needs its technological, professional classes.
Our "leaders" have turned their backs on "we the people". America to them is a trade zone, designed to make big bucks for the already rich foreign interests. We're only important to them because we're the ones paying the bills.
The globalists in both parties need to be thrown out on their greedy butts.
