      1/Alright, so folks wanted me to expand on this idea, so here we go. Elite disaffection and the return of the American Left. As you may have noticed, we're seeing an upsurge in young Americans who reject capitalism.

          We went from a large middle class based largely on one-income families to two-wage families working in poor conditions and living paycheck to paycheck. During this time real GDP per person doubled.

          But remember, during that time the civilian labor force participation rate didn't double. It went up by only 8 percentage points.pic.twitter.com/RTmSQuFn9x

          Prime-age labor force participation also didn't double. It went up by around 18 percentage points. So let's not exaggerate the universality of the shift!pic.twitter.com/xhd8HD26Up

          That still is a huge shift. We are twice as rich but the number of people working went way up and economic security went way down.

          It was a big shift. But not the zero-sum shift that many paint it to be (with the obvious goal of booting women from the workplace). It was very far from that.

          My larger point is that we are much wealthier as a country, but most of us are much worse off with much less economic security, as individuals.

          And we should keep that in mind whenever the GOP claims we are too poor to afford things citizens of other countries take for granted like health care, parental leave, good schools or modern infrastructure.

          She can, just not a job commensurate with her skills, expectations, and debt service costs.

          Can confirm. Was underemployed arts major. Became Neoliberal. Although I got most of my anger out using @ne0liberal to dunk on Charlie Kirk.

          Also, the arts have value for society. Let's at least start there before we question the wisdom of spending $20K on an arts degree.

          The idea that somehow everyone should have to be an engineer is so ridiculous and is not something we as a society should tolerate.

          Unfortunately that’s an unknowable...but it’s disappointing to see his rhetoric. Truly unhelpful and discounts the social value of art, et al. I’m reading “The European Dream” by J. Rifkin - so fascinating and accurate...and sad. Lol

          Art has tremendous value to society and a society without art is not worth living in.
