Not just Lincoln, the North made a mistake after the Civil War, like Congress and The People made a mistake after J6. Insurrectionists who are put down, we now know, can't be forgiven and allowed to make nice. We see that they with their misguided culture breed and grow and rise back to cause a load of trouble. Rather we have to prosecute insurrectionists severely, to show everyone that this was serious, damaging, deadly, and they can't be allowed to break the law with impunity again - because they've been executed or imprisoned for life.

Yes, you're investing in the work of other people - there are people who are still working. Work won't totally go away,
But there MIGHT be less of it - we'll still get our stuff, or our business stuff, even if no one is working to drive the delivery trucks, or write the boilerplate, or appeal the litigation, or plan the next day or next season.
If we get paid to work, and there's less work, and we still have as much or more stuff, we'll need to figure out how to pass it around without feeling like some people don't deserve it.

Comment Re:Most parents don't understand this but.. (Score 4, Interesting) 189

I went through higher ed in a family who had never got out of high school, so I had little guidance or useful experiences to draw on. I remember discussing studying Electrical Engineering with dad, who kept asking, "wouldn't you rather work with numbers?". As an example.
There are now families with more education but similar disconnect.

You're right, we need more renewables; there's no reason to stimulate any coal or nuclear until more renewables are built out, of all kinds: wind, solar, storage, hydro, and creative implementations. We've barely started building out renewables, and misinformation is still being flung around about their limitations. We need a central government initiative, and we're instead getting central government grift-funded boondoggles.
