“Most actors are lucky to ever get a job, period. I never forget that, because I have so many actor friends in L.A., and most of us barely ever work.

“When the press writes scare stories about the global labor supply draining jobs from rich to poor places, the story is usually presented as a "race to the bottom" simply in terms of wages. Capitalism supposedly looks for labor wherever labor is cheapest. This story is half wrong. A kind of cultural selection is also at work, so that jobs leave high-wage countries like the United States and Germany, but migrate to low-wage economies with skilled, sometimes overqualified workers.” WritingLooksKindCountrySometimesStatesStoriesJobsTermPoorUnitedRaceHalfUnited StatesEconomyRichLowsCapitalismLaborPressesWorkersBottomGermanyScareWagesSelectionDrainingMigrateOverqualified Book:The Culture of the New Capitalism Source: The Culture of the New Capitalism
“By the Reagan era, the 'culture of poverty' had become a cornerstone of conservative ideology: poverty was caused not by low wages or a lack of jobs but by bad attitudes and faulty lifestyles. The poor were dissolute, promiscuous, prone to addiction and crime, unable to 'defer gratification' or possibly even set an alarm clock.

“I think it's time we had a President who will provide the only real economic security: good jobs.
