That may be true for incarcerated at some point, but we're somewhere around 3% of total population currently behind bars or on parole.

Ha, well above that. 10% are FELONS. That's as much of a percentage of the Soviets that went to the Gulags.
30 million felons in America. That's an Army if ever organized.

Being employed in skilled industries like tech or pharma is awesome. The issue is that these industries would rather just hire temps to do jobs that justify a FTE.

Universal health care is the #1 solution to better jobs.
Being able to fuck off a bad job and not worry about your own well being means employers have to improve working conditions. It also empowers people to be self employed, where i'd hope working conditions are more the persons liking.

Social Justice Index of Developed Nations Puts US Near Bottom
Quote:
The Social Justice Index (SJI), detailed in a 274-page report (pdf), ranks the more than three dozen European Union and OECD nations based on six key social justice dynamics: poverty, education, the labor market, intergenerational justice, health, and social inclusion and nondiscrimination.
It is the Nordic countries which generally rank highest—with Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden the top five. On the other end, the U.S. came in near the very bottom, ranking 36 out of 41 nations overall, only coming out ahead of Chile, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, and Mexico.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

After seeing the jobs I grew up knowing aduts to have. My neighbor I grew up next too is in his 60s and had a heart attack. He wakes up at 4am daily. He used to be going to work at 5am when I was up to go to swim-team.
My mom went crazy working 3rd shift.
My step dad was a mantience guy and was on call 24-7 and worked far too long of over time at times.
The bureaucracy of work place politics is immense.
