The same wrecking crew that took it all down is now benefiting from the recovery. Whose surprised? Its a rigged system and everyone knows it. The people at the top could care less. The rest of us are just so much background noise to them.

That sums it up.

I think the future is not so much about prosperity but about how much of the population can get sent back to the stone ages and still allow the wealthy to prosper. Apparently based on the employment numbers, quite a few more can lose out.

If 50% lose everything and end up living in tents or burned out slums the wealthy won't even notice. They will simply cordon off these areas and send the drones in to keep an eye on them and when necessary they'll use a few Hellfire missiles to scatter the losers and keep them scared. Eventually, these areas will be surrounded with the new heat ray weapons for crowd control. Barb wire is just to obvious. Its just a matter of time. Poverty will eventually be ruled by the SCOTUS as a crime. All the above will follow.
