How can they do something for themselves, when their jobs have gone?

I don't know what your job is, but is your income better or worse after Tubes and other free stuff took all the traffic?

Will it continue to stable if all those unemployed people start doing what you do and happy to earn half the rate you earn?

I agree that the future is about those with high skills. The paramount reason to limit migration to only the high skilled and ban exporting the few businesses left in manufacturing. Even with those measures, the future will hold far fewer well-paying jobs. Even with a lot more spent on education, the jobs won't be there.

So will you as a well-paid person be prepared to pay more in taxes to keep your fellow citizens from rioting?

Or just shit on them?
