    @NPR yes, because the elites have taken the profits and left everyone else with nothing.

    @NPR This quote would be a lot more interesting if it was by Maynard James Keenan. #newalbum #stillwaiting #never

    @NPR because jerks like Milton Friedman undid the work of Keynes and impoverished the middle class

    @NPR Wondering if Friedrich Hayek & the University of Chicago school of economics are doing the "I told you so" dance in their graves now.

    @NPR maybe the "politics" side of political economy explains why Keynes was wrong?

      @NPR you're right, this is an evolutionary trait. it has nothing to do with destructive economic policies and re-allocation of resources

      @patmcclain1950 @NPR The rise of hours/stagnation in wages of last 40 years is evolutionary but labor reform before that was genetic hiatus?

      @patmcclain1950 @NPR Lower working hours of EU/Scandinavian countries attributable to innate genetic differences? Or robust social services?

    @NPR I wish we valued leisure as a luxury but the forces of society and middle class anxiety are overpowering for most.
