Sure. We’ll just have to make sure that women and minorities can’t get good jobs, and we’ve gotta get most of Europe leveled by war. Then we also need a wildly progressive president

But then it’s easy.

    Also anything electrical beyond heating this thing or spinning that thing needs to go.

    Imagine having a lucrative career as a comptometer operator.

    Imagine hearing ad nauseum about the pending healthcare and manufacturing crisis that will be caused by the retirement of the boomers and thinking there won't be anything for people to do for work in the future because some things are automated.

    This time it has to be China also, not only Europe (and mostly not Europe, actually). Then, if the retaliatory nuke does not destroy everyone, you can again have the privilege of feeding off the rest of the world for a decade or 2 with no competition. I wonder if any kind of tech breakthrough can lead to the same advantage that could be shared by a nation and not only a few rich. Seems the answer is no. And the minorities issue is unlikely to fly again, as white people are no longer the overwhelming majority, the mix is way more diverse.
