Bernie Sanders And All Those Damn Millennials

[JDPriestly]

6. Thanks. Beautiful post.

The jobs are in places where the rent is unaffordable.

And the jobs everywhere else are service jobs that don't pay enough to live on.

And we have no national commitment to saving or even to paying people enough so that they could save if we had a national commitment to saving.

Absolutely right.

I am a Bernie supporter, but I realize that it is going to take not just a political revolution but more important a revolution of the heart to change the reality described in the article in the OP -- a revolution of the hearts of Americans, especially of the hearts of the richest Americans.

Poverty and most important the hopelessness that accompanies poverty is growing in America. I wish that some of our philanthropists would understand that fact and fight to raise wages and to build some industry with good jobs in our own country.
