NP - The Myth of a Jobless Recovery

[alice wellintown]

I think you are dead wrong.


This We you speak of is not most people in the world. Most people are
doing better. First, more are alive and eating better. More live in
better environments. These are the facts. There are major problems,

in the West. Get used to it. People outside your  world are doing a
lot better and are not going to shut down growth and development to
save the planet.
