    Warehouse and manufacturing jobs gone, where will 11% of the workforce go with almost 500,000 illegal immigrants entering the US annually, a minimum wage from 2009 with an inflation of 41% to today, and a CEO to worker pay ratio of 344:1?

    Either we need more than 20 million jobs paying a living wage in the next few years or the economy will collapse under the weight of corporate greed. That isn’t even taking into account jobs replaced with rapidly advancing AI. A massive world war or highly lethal pandemic to reduce the population is the only way to maintain this trajectory.
