[If you look at 3 of the biggest employers in America—government, the medical/pharma industry, and the defense industry]
Years ago, I attended a conference hosted at one of the regional feds- imagine that!
They predicted an improving economic forecast for the beleagured area because jobs were increasing-
In the health care industry.
I instantly thought of a concept I'd come across months earlier:
Govt and health care jobs don't really grow the economy, because they don't GENERATE anything of real value.
Right then and there, I realized that the economic decline would continue.
Years later, that's proven true.
Which is why your regular admonitions to develop [rediscover?] your creativity are so important.
Too many people bitching about what's wrong but not doing anything useful.
Too much effort parroting assigned talking points.
Too many people focused on FIXING things that can't be mended.
Too many artificial, arbitrary constraints taken as givens.
The best way to "fix" a byzantine, outdated, mindless institution isn't to fix it.
The solution is to build something NEW.
With an eye towards replacement.
Not repair.
