And we wonder why young people are flocking to socialism and communism. We keep telling them we are a free-market Capitalist society. They take it to heart and assume the regulatory-induced economic dysfunction is a feature of markets and look at capitalist-critical ideologies for a way out.
Unfortunately, the lies don't stop there. We lie to our kids about going to college. We lie to our kids about trade jobs. We lie about how hierarchies function in America. We've indoctrinated our kids into some wildly incorrect belief systems then are surprised when it results in even more dysfunction.
For example, I love Mike Rowe, but what happens when all of these blue collar workers who followed his advice discover just how cyclical these industries are. There is going to be a lot of shock when those great blue collar opportunities evaporate in a recession.
I'm still waiting for actual capitalism in the US. I've never experienced the real thing. I live in a nation that leans heavily socialist, and it is more capitalist than the US. The US government is effectively a mafia state. Nothing will change this short of complete collapse. Maybe some states will become sanctuaries for liberty minded people, but they are all being invaded because the gangsters in DC are allowing it to happen.
If I did not have children, I would not care that much.
