First, thank all-yall for being so civil in this thread. A refreshing discussion.
Second, this is really hard. If there were a magic wand solution, it would have been implemented long ago.
I think something is happening. The far right and far left are collapsing. Fewer people agree with either of the extremes.
Perhaps most of us feel betrayed by both extremes.
As human beings in the US, we agree on an industrial policy, better education policies, better pay practices, and a higher standard of living, and that last one matters the most to this discussion. Assuming people are lazy is neither here nor there; paying people in a cost structure while raising the American standard of living is of the utmost importance.
We are all concluding that time is being wasted.
