duh?

What about the men and women who didn’t go to university, who don’t have a decent education, who work in the industries that have been worst hit? Many of these people already have kids, they struggle every day and the struggle is getting harder.

I won’t go into the issues (too many, too depressing) but I don’t think the ability to connect with someone in Australia is going to help them. Their jobs are dissapearing and when industry gets back on its feet (because you and I feel secure enough to buy a new hybrid car) many of their jobs will be moved abroad. Thus jobs are scarcer and places far more competitive.

You’re also forgetting the 3rd world (or whatever we’re supposed to call it). The coffee you and your friends don’t buy from starbucks is being multiplied across the rich world. The loser is the guy in Peru who can’t sell his coffee beans or is being forced to reduce his price because all the big coffee buyers are reducing margins.

This economic ‘mess’ is a huge issue and shouldn’t be trivialised. It’s the poor and the ‘working classes’ who are the worst affected.

History tells us that mass unemployment leads to war and revolution.

There are so man opportunities for our generation and ways that we can really achieve great things at early ages. It’s so exciting to see GenY’ers making a difference!

Looking forward to speaking with you at BigD!
