The poor people are ruining society! Obviously, if we deprive them of survival needs it will create jobs and social harmony.

Only about 20-24% of Americans get a college degree. One quarter of Americans do not finish high school. Interestingly, they are beginning to come together, though they don’t know it yet. Right now we are seeing the proletarianization of college graduates, as increasingly more of them are forced to take service and labor jobs. This is starting to shift blame to the debt encumbered college graduates not picking the correct line of study. So not only is it poor people with no education or aspiration, bringing us down, it is, also, the college educated with huge aspirations and no sense.

Look at it this way: When a modern economy is functional it needs only about 15-20% of its population at the very most to administrate and perpetuate itself — through lawyers, insurance managers, financial managers, college teachers, media managers, scientists, bureaucrats, managers of all types and many other professions and semi-professions. Then you have another 70% that are production machinery to turn a profit and do the manuel labor, that help support the lifestyles of the top 20%. Then you have another 10% or so that intermittently and consistently live off the “welfare state”.

If every one of them earned a college degree it would not change their status much, but only drive down wages of the management class. You will still have the same pyramidal distribution of wealth and jobs. In the US, over the past few decades, with outsourcing and technological unemployment(automation), the 70% has been forced into service and FIRE jobs.

That is when functional. Now, we are entering a dysfunctional period. Where more people will get pushed to the fringes and the very top will lose their “morals” to keep their privileged position finding new and creative ways to turn a profit off a sinking majority. And large chunks of the middle will take a lower standard of living and all the stress and finger pointing entails that the shift entails.

I like to watch her on Meet The Press. I like her style.

I appreciate a congenial style of speech in men and women. The loud CNBC and Fox style of shouting all the time is quite annoying.

She penned the “Boys of Pointe du Hoc” speech for President Reagan, which immortalized the Ranger raid at D-Day. As a former Ranger, she has a special place in my heart.

She also wrote the presidential speech following the Challenger explosion.

She’s gotten a little too partisan and polemical as of late, but, on balance, a very good writer and commentator.

Orchestrated by outsiders….

In Charlton, only a mile down the road, a retail park was targeted and high-value goods worth hundreds of thousands of pounds were stolen.

However, only one of those charged comes from the area or even the local borough. The others are from a much wider swathe of south-east London and as far afield as Orpington, Kent, the court data shows.

Quote
The local MP, Gavin Barwell, said: “I have spoken to well into double figures of people who saw people with walkie-talkies and radios directing people around.”

Witnesses to the Croydon riot supported these accounts.
