Re: Confidence in the system
Tom Brosz — (archived)

We have to remember that our society has gone through this type of upheaval many times before in many different ways. I'm sure when most of America was comprised of farmers, the idea that someday a very low percentage of the American population would be farmers would have been very frightening.

We also have to remember that a huge number of the jobs and industries that employ people and create wealth nowadays didn't even exist as recently as a generation ago.

If you had told someone in 1950 that some of the largest companies in America would someday be selling things like personal computers, software, CDs, DVDs, video tapes, cell phones, and video games, not only would he not have believed you, but he would have had no idea on earth what you were talking about.

If we are allowed the freedom to innovate, and don't suppress the market system, I see no reason that this will not continue and create resources and jobs we can't even imagine today.
