I guess, on the vast internet, there are no websites where they discuss social issues.   Someone should create one.

Sure.

Demand is a necessary first, though.

What are the other factors that go into creating jobs?

****. I forgot about the rule that requires you to participate in every single thread, even those started by people you say you've blocked.

My bad, I guess.

How specific do we really need to get here?

There's a restaurant that's usually half full. People in the area start going to the restaurant more often (for any of a million reasons). The restaurant hires more servers, cooks, and dishwashers to meet the increased demand.

That's pretty much it.

Those new restaurant employees increase demand at other businesses in the area.

And on and on.

At that point maybe a developer sees the demand for more housing and invests in an apartment complex.

That's all that's involved in job creation?  Existing businesses hire a few more people to work in existing establishments?

Did you ace your final exam in Economics 101 at Retardville U with that essay?

"invests".

That's an interesting concept.  Where is the investment capital coming from?  Is it coming from the lower class?

I don't think anyone has ever denied that investment is necessary. But, without demand, it doesn't happen.

Where does the investment capital come from?

From investors. Why the circle jerk, Perry Mason?

Who are the primary investors?  Upper class, middle class, or lower class?

Upper class.

Are they investing with their low marginal utility money?
