Insight on the election - and the economy

From "Why did Trump’s lies fail so badly? Important new data provides a clue", an opinion piece in the Plum Line, a Washington Post opinion column.

“Big, techy metros like San Francisco, Boston, and New York with populations over 1 million have flourished, accounting for 72 percent of the nation’s employment growth since the financial crisis,” the report says. “By contrast, many of the nation’s smaller cities, small towns, and rural areas have languished.” This has created a “geography of discontent” that has spawned “entrenched poverty” in the “left-behind” areas, producing “deepening small-town resentment of coastal cosmopolitan elites.”

So we should come up with a plan to employ the people who are in the languishing communities.

Like PLUGS-In, my solar energy plan.

Now is definitely the time.
