Welfare and automation
Here's the deal on the 47%. It's true. 47% of our people don't like their job and would love to win the lottery and quit. 53% of people are at work that gives them more than the paycheck, it gives them leadership and creativity and the opportunity to be somebody, to make something of themselves. They are comfortable and happy in their workplace to a large degree. This narrow majority and it's a dwindling majority, has the work ethic and has the values, and also has the temperament the stamina and the intellect to do well at work and to move forward and be promoted. To repeat myself they enjoy their work. Those of us who don't enjoy our work want the welfare state. I can understand that. Maybe you can't. It's too bad.
For many of us, every day in the workplace is an ordeal. The commute, the short lunch break, co- workers who are indifferent or worse toward us and vice versa, the commute back and coming home to a wife who worked all day. They would quit their jobs if they won the lottery.
The American dream is liking your job.
