American Jobs Blog By Greg Spotts

This is the kind of stuff that Walmart depends on... only it ain't Walmart anymore: it's coming up the food chain.
You can also find him on a report on PBS NOW.
Here's a good book, one that goes way back. You don't even have to read it, you just have to read the title: "Small is Beautiful: economics as if people mattered."
The book is written by a hardbitten, real life economist. Minister of Mines, I think, in the UK. No bleeding heart, he.

There are certainly some valid points made by the folks interviewed, but also a lot of victimized whining. They're going to need to get over it and move on. Quit blaming "The Mill" for the state of your life and get off your ass.

Some of these people may have failed, but none were on their asses. Unless one equates failure with being on your ass.
There are winners and whiners?
You would have to agree with Shaw's character Undershaft, that poverty (failure) is a crime. Then there were those who worked at Enron. Or those whose guard unit was called up.
Failure is a luxury that none can afford: it is far too expensive to bear. No matter.
