(#208-1 April 29) 2015 A study drumbeat of economic statistics says much the same thing. Either we change the current American Business Model (drastically)—or the consequences, as far as most Americans are concerned, will be catastrophic. For many, they already are. Social unrest will spread. The rioters have absolutely nothing to lose.

FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THE DISTRUBING STATE OF THE U.S. ECONOMY (and its associated misery)—EVEN THOUGH WE ARE HEADING INTO A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION YEAR.

WE ARE BACK TO BREAD & CIRCUSES—MOSTLY WITHOUT THE BREAD

DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE HEALTHY STATE OF THE STOCK MARKET. THAT HAS BECOME A CASINO FOR THE RICH

MEASURES OF RECOVERY FOLLOWING THE GREAT RECESSION. YES, IT IS TAKING LONGER AND LONGER AND LONGER

EMPLOYMENT IN ROUTINE JOBS. YES, THEY ARE VANISHING
