Ace, I agree with much of what you say in post #131. I can relate to several of your experiences. I am however concerned that in the not too distant future there will just not be enough jobs to go around and the wealth will become more and more concentrated in this country. I wonder what society's answer will be to this problem. Perhaps another WPA progam?
In another thread Walmart (Sams) was compared to Cosco where they have the same overall business income but Cosco does it with 30,000 less (higher paid) workers. Productivity increases will require less workers. Eventually just moving to a new area may not help but I guess we can take a world view and look to other countries for work as many who immigrate here do.
