According to the author, employment hasn't returned to its pre-recession peak. Oh, yeah. Just another one of the lies we are told in order to convince the sheep that everything is going to be all right.
You've heard of normalcy bias. Well, I submit that this kind of reporting feeds the normalcy bias. People just aren't aware of the risks that exist, and so they don't prepare. When disaster strikes, they won't be ready. Witness Katrina in 2005. The local authorities really dropped the ball on that one. Of course, they blamed Bush, but it was the local authorities that screwed up. The same pattern is persisting throughout the culture on the whole. The failure of the current paradigm is being swept under the rug, and any attempt to improve upon the situation is resisted. Who will be blamed when things go wrong and can no longer be denied? Everybody but the ones truly responsible for it.
