If it's normalized with respect to population size, US is not the record.

It would be a big step forward to get the capitalist class to agree to go back to providing full employment.

At the same time, there are tax incentives available to encourage employers to automate in the US now so the sensible battle is probably going to be to get the new machines taxed and for that money to be used to provide universal pay to the population.

The only other options would be extensive social welfare or mass incarceration and a sterilization campaign of some sort.

I fear that further removing food regulations will open the door to under handed methods for controlling men who are increasingly under economic, social and legal attack.

One of the benefits of the attack on men is that sooner or later men are going to wake up and rebel. Its just a shame it has to get so bad before we stand up for ourselves.

American enterprise institute.

These guys are not the friends of mens rights. Eroding unions, workplace safety regulations, pollution restrictions, safety nets, wages, etc.

They represent a bigger threat than feminism.

Here is a good way of solving unemployment. Dont rig the system so it takes most families two jobs to survive.

Here is another, raise wages and lower the working week.
