Go East Young Man

One obstacle to making America great again is the general ignorance of the work force. A piece in the NY Times highlights all the companies moving to India so they can hire educated workers: "American companies are assembling their work forces in India mainly because it has become difficult to find the right kind of workers in the United States. Studies find that a third of all new engineering jobs go unfilled, while nearly 1.2 million Indians graduate with engineering degrees every year." MAGAs are upset with offshoring and wish they had their shit jobs back, assembling widgets on an assembly line. But they also want 35 dollars an hour plus benefits for doing mindless tasks. The trouble is, any of that soul-crushing labor that isn't done by robots is being done by people living on ten dollars a day. And those companies looking for skilled workers are going to places other than the U.S. " We’ve got an inexorable trend right now, where enterprises understand that you can globalize the work,” Ms. Kops said. She has tried setting up global centers within the United States but says that “we just don’t have the education engine” to staff them." American kids want to be influencers or play professional sports. In the meantime they are happy posting in their parent's basement. American employers are asking: “Can you get 5,000 folks who know how to do this kind of work? You can’t,” she said. “But you can do it in India, and you can do it in other places in the world.” Fortunately for American dummies there is always the military. This is what a teacher wrote today: "I teach college students, and many are unable to focus for a sustained period, read a 20-page article or write coherently." Boys are sucked into the Jordan Peterson Manosphere. It turns out artificial intelligence won't actually have to be all that intelligent in order to replace American workers. Of course those students who go to Christian schools will know a lot about Jericho and Cannan and Egypt. I'm not mourning the dismantling of the Education Department because they really weren't helping. Not sure who will be going to U.S. schools to learn about American exceptionalism except patriots.
