More disabled than new employees in June

The most important story of the day is that more people went on social security disability than became employed in June. Disability isn't a very good alternative compared to a job. But it's better than nothing in this central planner's disaster.

I've considered disability, not because I want it, but as a last resort. I'll never work again in this economy as I'm just too old and have too many health problems. So 84% of my current wages would just have to work if the company shuts down or I get laid off. I'd take unemployment until I could get disability.

22.5 million workers are just redundant in this economy. No employer wants or needs them ever again. I suspect this will just get worse as the years go by. Only a lucky few will thrive in the new world order.
