We didn't want young men to do anything.

We wanted ever-increasing returns for shareholders, and that meant moving factories (where these young men's grandfathers were working 60 years ago) overseas while doing nothing on the whole to retrain the workforce.

We got the shareholder returns. Too bad that can't buy a functional society for people born after 1980.
