What is your job at ftc.gov?

As the industrial areas turned into shopping malls I asked people what
they thought of it, being careful not to preload my question with an
expected response. I was surprised by how much bitter and snobbish
resentment toward manufacturing I heard. In general the well-educated
people I asked had no idea that making things generates value, but a
service economy only redistributes and dilutes it. I learned that in
jr high civics class with the westward expansion of the railroads as
the example of primary and secondary jobs. IIRC they planned new towns
based on one railroad job supporting 8-11 people, the worker's family
plus one other.

Perhaps high schools should mention the concept of entropy as it
applies to economic activity, or just teach the ability to distinguish
cause from effect. We had critical thinking drummed into our little
heads back in the 50's and 60's but I don't see much evidence of it
now on the Net.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
