Pinkerton: NYT Compares Biden’s Promised ‘Green Jobs’ to ‘Grueling’ Low-Wage Amazon and Uber Gigs
The Green Illusion
Now they tell us. That is, now they are telling us that “green jobs” won’t be such good jobs after all.
We get this blunt assessment from the New York Times, the most important newspaper in the country and without a doubt the

“Today, I just want to hate.” Writer Alec MacGillis quotes these bitter words from Chris MacLarion, a former union steel worker in Sparrows Point, Maryland, who watched the decades-long decline of the plant, his livelihood and his dignity. In his new book
Fulfillment Winning and Losing in a One-Click America, MacGillis examines the source of MacLarion’s anger and the price we all pay for embracing the powerful technologies of convenience and control.
MacGillis focuses on Amazon, now the largest employer in the United States and run by Jeff Bezos, the wealthiest man in the world.
