On Working

Labor Day is a holiday honoring those who work for a living.  Laborious Day is a lesser known holiday honoring those who cannot stop talking about their work.  

~Lemony Snicket


This particular Labor Day is a good opportunity to remember fourteen million Americans who, in 2007 worked for a living and no longer do so because there are no jobs for them. Why are there no jobs? They have been outsourced abroad, assigned to robots, or abolished by the Scrooges and Uriah Heeps of our day.


This is not good for America.
