Nice article. I also thought Underwood's plan was either crazy or pure genius. I actually think the plan could work in real life but I did see some problems. It's great to give a job to everyone who wants one. But:
1. Some people are simply unemployable - the unreliable, incompetent, etc. What would be the result? We just keep giving them jobs after they get fired over and over again? There is a cost to that as well.
2. Some people would likely get stuck with jobs that they aren't interested in or are below their level of expertise. For instance, Underwood's buddy went from being a successful entrepreneur who owned his own business, to being a dish washer in someone else's. That's far from ideal.
Regardless, being that Underwood is unlikely to swoop in and save the day, take Sizemore's advice and invest in your own future.
"Some of the top mining stocks to look into: GG, ABX, YAM, NEM. A better business model and usually better returns can be had from streamers or royalty stocks such as SLW, FNV, RGLD. They make an upfront payment for a % of future production or revenue. Diversified exposure is possible via an ETF like GDX or GDXJ."

This was quite long but very much worth the time it took to read. Wearable tech in general is very hot right now. Such companies will only continue to increase in value as this technology is further adopted by mainstream users. $GTXO is looking particularly attractive right now.
