Summary

This quote highlights the irony of millions of people being idle or unemployed while still having a sense of comfort knowing that many others around them are employed. It suggests that even though a large portion of the population may not be engaged in productive work or contributing to the economy, the existence of people with jobs reduces the existential anxiety of not being part of a working community. Thus, the quote subtly emphasizes the importance of employment and the psychological assurance derived from the presence of others who are employed.

Humor has been a fashioning instrument in America, cleaving its way through the national life, holding tenaciously to the spread elements of that life. Its mode has often been swift and coarse and ruthless, beyond art and beyond established civilization. It has engaged in warfare against the established heritage, against the bonds of pioneer existence. Its objective --the unconscious objective of a disunited people --has seemed to be that of creating fresh bonds, a new unity, the semblance of a society and the rounded completion of an American type.
