Our politicians have created this over the years. It started by exporting our jobs to the Third World, because they could make it cheaper by using child labour, conditions unacceptable in the West and paying wages that barely support people in the Third World. And the stupid consumer lapped up the cheap goods, not thinking it cost their fellow citizens their jobs and themselves taxes.
Then they allowed low skilled, unemployed and non-working immigrants into their country. To further bring down living standards.
Lastly automation has already removed millions of jobs, it's about to remove millions more. Some highly skilled are at threat. But the politicians are keen to bring it in, claiming it will be good for us all.
The only sector that has done well are the top 5%, the top 1% have done very well and the top 0.5%extremely well. Corporations grow relentlessly and blatantly buy political influence.
So if the present bunch of politicians won't change, voters will force change on them. Already in America Trump is President. Not because he's any fucking good, but because the rest are so fucking bad. And Bladewire, Rochard, Crocket, Thommy, etc refuse to accept that. They can only rave at what Trump does, not thinking the alternative have taken great steps to make their lives worse. Even if it's only to bring down the numbers of people who can afford to buy what they promote.
