40 years ago I made a living fixing devices that operated with vacuum
tubes. Not much call for it now other than the occasional guitar amp. :-)
What replaced those jobs? Even a lot of of those Vacuum tubes devices were
repaired via taking the tubes down to local multipurpose store with a tube
tester. We are probably going to,see a massive depression, even without a
religious war being expanded, because we overspend. 40% of our government
spending is borrowed or printed money. We have promised huge pension
dollars to government employees without funding them now like a private
pension would be. Where are the jobs to support this debt we will need to
service? I Think this debt service will be more akin to a bull servicing
a cow, to the public having to pay.
Unfortunately, not that many pensions in the private sector are
properly/fully funded. I served on my local union's pension fund board
for two terms, and our regs then and now required *no*
unfunded/underfunded liabilities, which is the way a pension should be run.
One thing to keep in mind...those right-wing politicians who claim the
government is "after your guns" are the very same politicians who
actually are coming after your Social Security.
