How many people are employed in unproductive jobs?
Tens of millions.
Lawyers, Insurance, Teaching administration, PowerPoint girls.
China? People are making things.
The truth of our economy is that we aren’t doing much new, and we are mostly living off the last of the value created decades ago.
We have a long, long way to go.
We need a “re-industrialization and productivity czar”, and that needs to be an Elon Musk type person.
