Washington Post-Apocalypse Cartoonist Tom Toles on the Future

Globalization has eroded the meaning of a job and will continue to do so. We are now in a scramble for any work at any price. Job security? Only if your job is IN security. [...] We have created a world where you are not really needed, except to buy things, but you’re out of money, because you can’t find work. Maybe you can retire (very) early to a little place out in the country somewhere, except the new climate just killed the vegetation and dried up your well. Meanwhile, this election campaign will do everything possible to avoid discussing any of this intelligently. Obama doesn’t really have an answer, and Romney has one that works for him and his friends.
