Paul Gottfried never speaks the truth that J. D. Vance is the technocratic class' boy beyond the wildest dreams of Donald Trump for himself.
Vance has no solutions to repair the broken ladder of socio-economic progress. It's his job not to.
... our vice-president has taken note of the stagnant wages and job insecurity of American workers
... the United States has had a mixed economy, one that the urbanologist Joel Kotkin characterizes as “democratic capitalism,” since the last century
... the present left does not care about workers at all
... It has been left to the populist right to take up the cause of the proletariat, which, whether or not one agrees with all his proposed policies, Vance is at least trying to do
... Kotkin is understandably concerned that “democratic capitalism” is no longer working and that the wages and living conditions of our working class have declined as a result of outsourcing, cheap foreign labor, and treating workers like expendable commodities. In Kotkin’s view, the technocratic class, with both governmental and vast financial connections, is sitting atop the socio-economic pyramid, and both workers and what used to be America’s thriving middle class have suffered from this imbalance of power
... Shapiro mocks Vance for stating that workers should find “spiritual” satisfaction in their labor ...
Colonel Saito couldn't agree more with J. D. Vance.
