Cashing their salary checks in on the fat of the land of course.
You see, the American lower-middle-class, a large number and growing, brings its children up to be control freaks so occupations have to be found for them where this conditioned drive can be exercised, or partly so, when they become mature adults because if they had to do manual work they would possibly have a freak-out, or their parents would, having built up such high expectations of the little darlings, and having built up their own expectations of themselves.
We are only a few years behind.
And any kid who shows promise is basically in the **** because his parents can boast about the superiority of their genetic material vicariously and without the necessity of having to raise a gallop themselves.
Even if there is global warming caused by man---(there's competition about whether "anthropogenic" or "anthropomorphic" is poshest as "man" must not be mentioned due to what a horrible little snivelling non-entity he actually is)---as I say, even if it is true, there's nothing anybody can do to stop it. You could relocate further north I suppose while land values are so advantageous.
And if there isn't then we are in steady state and I expect things will go on much as they are at present (2-3% growth) and some will fall off and some will get on board in the meantime.
It's the choice I laid out earlier and the winner is plain. The Greenies are so good at global warming that they put the other 99.?? of humans who ever lived in the shade. And, apart from the guy who set the Great Fire of London, by some considerable margin.
As usual it's all about "circulating elites". It always is during plentiful peacetimes. Especially bountiful ones.
