When my Dad was born half the nation worked on farms and everyone said farm employment was economic health. Now farm labor is half a percent. Simply deciding to like farms or to love factories doesn't make sense. It may be true love but it won't feed the family.
We have had 40 years of trying to move the Nation towards a FIRE economy, with an accompanying subsidy of the vices of the underclass. You might as well write the inauguration speech of the second Obama term; you know, the one that lasts twenty years?
People need productive things to do. It is our nature. Trading stocks is not productive labor. Practicing law as it is done today is not productive labor.
Remember that John Galt built things.
