Steve,
Why is our education system what it is today?
3 decades of cheaping out public education. Constant drumbeat of
anti-teacher assertions. Drugs and crime you'd expect from a lot
of (but not all) children of uneducated parents.
Who caused that? Who is in charge of our education system?
Who moved all the businesses off shore?
The corporations.
I say it the U.S. Legislature though faulty policy.
Why are illegal aliens able to take jobs away from American Citizens?
Because we de-facto permit it.
Who caused this?
I say it the U.S. Legislature. In 1986 Ronald Reagan gave amnesty with
the agreement there would be a fence. Amnesty was the wrong solution
and not building the fence was a broken promise that has exasperates the
problem. It has been said the left wants illegal aliens as voters and
the right wants cheap labor.
Who is responsible for our immigration?
The government.
So why has somewhere abound 5 million illegals aliens entered our
country this year? Policy. In D.C.
Who is responsible for H1B visas?
Corporations pay politicians to get cheap labor, so the politicians
allow obscene numbers of H1-Bs, while older technologists find new work
as Walmart greeters. It's disgusting.
I agree. We are back to the U.S. Legislature.
I made friend with a guy at Walmart that was a COBOL programmer until
they off-shored his job. Sad story.
How many trust fund babies are there in America?
According to
https://www.forbes.com/sites/qai/2021/10/27/3-common-misconceptions-about-trust-fund-kids/?sh=71909c447b64
, 1.3% of the population receives money in a trust fund, so that would
be about 4.3 million Americans. However, the article makes it clear
that only some of them receive big bucks.
The only problem I see here is these people are being cheated out of the
struggle of becoming productive and making a living,
I was really speaking of the ultra-rich. According to
https://www.thekickassentrepreneur.com/millionaires-in-america/#:~:text=And%20about%2034%2C507%20households%20have,or%20100%20million%20net%20worth.
there are 34,507 households with a net worth of $100 million.
Does every person need to graduate college?
No.
Agreed however this generation is being told they need to complete a BA
or BS.
I have been reading and hearing the trades are going unfilled, why is
that?
According to my next door neighbor who is a plumbing contractor, "kids
these days" don't want to get their hands dirty with physical work. And
he was offering $20/hr to start in Orlando, Florida, which is pretty
good. And as soon as they got the hang of it, he'd give them $25. But
nobody bit.
I'm hearing the same stories. Could the root of this be in D.C.?
Everyone was sent checks and some were given large unemployment
payments. Some or maybe many found it unnecessary to work.
Why does it cost upwards of $10k a semester to go to a AZ state
university?
Because college in most cases is a racket and is class warfare.
Again I point to D.C. They fund it and the universities have found they
can over charge. If it is class warfare who is causing this class
warfare?
