Welcome to the new "labor" market...There is no labor market for 2/3 the worlds' population,

especially our own.

Effects are becoming evident:
2/3 of our schools are not needed,
over 40 forget a corporate job,
hiring being restricted to current employed only,
most important thing is your "like" number on FB,
add your observation.

We need to do quickly:
Drop the SocSec age to 50.
Startup WPA 2.0.
Start employment lotteries, take HR away from the 100 largest corporations.
Setup local labor board based on the draft boards model to control hiring/firing.

Most important quit whining about the pony feed, before we get the pony.

Schools are for training a work force. No job means no need for schools. CK_John Aug 2012 #8

but I have NO idea what you just said.

I have the distinct feeling that the things you feel we need to do quickly have a snowball's chance in hell of happening, but that's about it.

And I feed ponies for a living and have no clue what that last bit is about.

Could you maybe not do it bullet point style? I want to understand this, but your brevity isn't helpful. To me, at least.

My environment is highly pony intensive.

We run a small boarding/training/lesson barn. Sometimes I think my life has too many ponies in it!

So don't quit your day job.
