Most Americans have never recovered from the recession of 2008 and the outsourcing, mechanizing, robotizing and computerizing of their jobs. Men's salaries and working conditions have been deteriorating since the mid 1970s. Women's salaries have increased only to 77% of men's low salaries. Americans are emotionally depressed. We consume 50% of the world's psych meds and 80% of the world's heroin. Suicides addiction obesity and other social ills have increased. Too many are in despair. This panel explains what happened, why it happened and what to do about it.
Audio recorded and edited by Wilton Vought (last name rhymes with thought) of Essential Dissent.
