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?
the idea that some big company is going to give you good pay for showing up 8 hours a day is dead. people have to make their own way. use whatever skills you have and sell shit, make shit, do something.

i saw the writing on the wall in adult in 2004 and went elsewhere. i still make some money with adult but as far as im concerned, there is better money elsewhere. i've had to change 'what i do' a number of times and will continue to do so as needed.
