Although I have to admit that even in some areas of science, such as climate science, rational thinking is severely rationed.<br /><br />The lack of inquisitive and rational minds starts with the government-run education system. That system is more concerned with producing people who will be happy to be the servants of big government, than it is with producing creative and rational individualist thinkers.<br /><br />After I started calculating the missing jobs in this way, there were more frequent occasional references to a decreasing percentage workforce and to people giving up on looking for jobs. What is sickening is that these factors should be discussed every month instead of just giving the old formula calculation of the percentage of unemployed. It is as though the media cannot hold the knowledge sometimes observed in mind. This is a failure to think analytically. In the process, they leave the public with very misleading reports on a very critical issue.Charles R.
