Not that I disagree with the article, but those charts are somewhat bunk. The first should show % change in employment, not the raw numbers. The amended chart would still be disappointing, but a bit more honest.
The second chart shows you the power of assumptions. Notice the exponential growth of the costs projected. A trend that can not continue, won’t. But that just means we need to make sure the assumptions are false, or at least actively falsify them…
