No time to write a post, but I found this quote very compelling and didn’t want to lose it in the shuffle of browser tabs:
“The problem is joblessness, and the problem is very concrete. You don’t have to be a genius to look around the society and say, ‘look, something is going wrong. There is a huge mess of people who want to work, there is an enormous amount of work that has to be done, there are plenty of resources, and for some reason those things can’t be put together.’ That tells you there is something deeply pathological about the general socio-economic system.â€
Who said it? Â Does it matter? Â Don’t you think that’s pretty much the crux of the issue?

The quote is Noam Chomsky, speaking last week:
