100% correct observation here but what is the solution?
I can tell you it is NOT to just try to force these Arts degree people into material systems jobs that they are not qualified to do... that is what we have been doing and here we are stuck in this moron-fest... we have to figure out how to get them robustly provisioned without trying to force them to be something they are not.
Social Justice Warriors are not working class heroes. They are bourgeois arts graduates with no aptitude for science or business, who feel bitter at the large disparity between their high self-evaluation and their low prospects.— Alice Smith (@TheAliceSmith) November 25, 2017
There's a vid about this on the Rubin Report with Brendan O'Neill

Excellent post, Matt. Arguably the reason we are in wars is because we have poorly designed systems run by people without adequate training or knowledge. Maybe a flaw in democracy where nice salt of the earth people get elected despite incompetence.
ReplyDeleteWell seems like the warriors have figured out how to get provisioned and then some Ryan .. as opposed to the “starving artists”....
ReplyDeleteLook at Toms post on Syria seems like every warrior on earth wants to get in on it and is headed there to brawl...
What about: close down most of the sociology departments in universities and hire out relevant buildings as office space?
ReplyDeleteObviously a living wage job education training guarantee would shore up wages for the common good and give a foundation to build meaningful work whilst destroying the sweatshop exploitative low hour low wage grasp jobs economy beloved of the few.
ReplyDeletePlease note: Alice Smith is the great great great grand-daughter of Adam Smith. Obviously a chip off the old block.
ReplyDeleteRalph I assume that is a nom de plume for somebody.... I could be mistaken ... seems like “she” is very libertarian...
ReplyDeleteRight Will,
ReplyDeleteDoesnt make much sense to train all these artists and then try to jam them into a job at Starbucks imo...

ReplyDeleteDifference between New York subway and Moscow subway.
We know that a living wage job guarantee will flush out crap sweatshop businesses and level up real incomes. There is plenty of worthwhile meaningful purposeful work that needs doing bar the unequal and bad funding and we of all people know that funding money is no object or issue
ReplyDeleteThe living wage job guarantee will never happen. Neither will a guaranteed basic income. We live in a meritocracy, remember?

ReplyDeleteThe basis of meritocracy is incentive and incentive is positive and negative — reward and punishment.
In a capitalistic system the incentive is to make money and get rich. So what is deemed to do that is incentivized institutionally.
The negative incentive is make being poor costly through various forms of punishment.
It's a very simple system based "incentive-induced efficiency," and conservatives understand quite well how it works.
So screwing the little guys and gals is a feature rather than a bug. It's for their own good, you see, to teach them.
