Is this question that stupid? Its like you're 18 and have never been in the real world. Producing our goods overseas isnt better than producing goods in the US.

I question the education of people here[/quote]

We DON'T manufacture. No one wants those jobs. And I grew up in the rust belt where factory work was where all my uneducated (in an academic sense) ancestors worked. Those factories are no longer there and they all transitioned to other jobs.

Further, this is a GLOBAL economy. The idea that any nation can be as isolationist as Trump is being right now is ridiculous.[/quote]

There is another uncomfortable reality that is going unmentioned, too. Most high schoolers today are quite frankly [i]too stupid[/i] to work in a factory.

Do you really think the children of the typical DCUM parents here could be trusted to operate hydraulic presses stamping out car body panels or assembling aircraft for Boeing or Lockheed Martin or using injection molding machines to make a variety of common items? Most kids today are morons. That includes the kids of most of you reading this. The ONLY option your kids have is to go to college and get some white collar job where they won’t endanger themselves or anyone else. They can’t be trusted to build or create anything. They’ll cut their hand off or get themselves killed somehow, or they’ll screw up some other way. The only safe choice they have is go to college and then get an office job.

We’ve gone to the opposite extreme in this county in just 3 generations. Factory jobs were once seen as dead end low paying jobs for dummies. Now the current generation of youth are too stupid to be able to do factory work. [/quote]

That has been by design in the past 20 years or so. It doesn’t even come close to what it was when I was a kid. Not even close. But everyone feels better because we don’t use red ink to grade papers or point out errors electronically.[/quote]
