Pocket paradigm

We live in a nation hated abroad and frightened at home. A place in which we can reasonably refer to the American Republic in the past tense. A country that has moved into a post-constitutional era, no longer a nation of laws but an autocracy run by law breakers, law evaders and law ignorers. A nation governed by a culture of impunity ... a culture in which corruption is no longer a form of deviance but the norm. We all live in a Mafia neighborhood now. - Sam Smith

Soon our govt will be hated and feared both at home and abroad. Why? No jobs. Ever.

Our schools should stop trying to prepare kids for the nonexistent job market and start teaching them how to live without a job.
