Lest we give the young people too much credit, we whould remember that they are woefully ignorant, pathetically educated but also puffed up with inflated ideas of their own brilliance becaause their teachers have saturated them with assurances that they are "the most educated generation in history."

The same silly but flattering idea has been used to seduce people into believing what the System "teaches" them for generations. I heard it back in the 1960s but had sense enough to recognize it for the con game it was.

Most young people pick their political and ideological preferences the same way a woman picks out her Gucci handbag in the clothing store.

They don't really know what "socialism" is. It just sounds hp and cool so they become "socialists."

The PMC is moving left because the right has figured out they don't need "managers" to approve their vacation requests, their computers can approve them. The PMC has no place to go but the left. Only the left needs apparatchiks to turn the levers of of the slow lumbering society they left hopes to keep in place.

Smart PMCs should be looking at trade schools! More money but less status. I suspect most PMCs would prefer other people paying for their drinks rather than earn enough money doing real jobs that don't have the status.

It's all about where the PMCs can find work where their lackeys will kowtow to them!
