It is scary isn't it Daniel, We are living on the cusp of a neo feudalistic society, that is theocratic in nature. I would not be surprised if they passed a law, requiring one to get a permit to change jobs or employers.
Mr. Solomon, when I read your heartfelt words, I was stunned. Neither your education nor your professional life have been wasted. Think of the many people who were affected by your decisions and your efforts. They received, from you: justice. A measure of one of the things that make communal life worth living. No one will ever be able to make that disappear, not Trump, not Musk, not Bezos, no one, ever.
It seems to me you have made a number of correct choices in your life. You did not choose to abuse others while you acquired huge wealth and power for your own benefit. You chose instead to toil for years in our educational system to learn how to administer justice to our fellow citizens. Then you subsequently built a professional career doing just that. Think of all the people who benefitted from your work.
I do not know if you have ever been a classroom teacher. But you have been a teacher of a kind which uses a courtroom. As such, I like to think we share some career characteristics. We both did some teaching as a service to our community. Like you, I too spent a great deal of my life and efforts earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in preparation for a long career. The third most important objective in my teaching was to prepare my students to be responsible citizens, There was an element of this objective in all my classes, in all my subjects.
Some of my students became physicians, many nurses, defense attorneys, prosecuting attorneys, judges, social workers, labor organizers, a few college professors. During most of my career the US empire seemed to be on a downward spiral. We have now reached a dismal level I did not really believe I would live to see. But my contribution, and yours, shall survive as a seed for the future. Neither of our lives were wasted.
If you find my words unconvincing, then please ask some one close if they agree with me.
Most of my legal enducation and much of my professional life has been wasted.....
American federal "Administrative law" has been reduced to history. It's as if the Adminstrative Procedure Act never existed.
Musk and Bezos are parties in a case that may determine that most federal labor law will be declared unconstitutional.
