not coding but they could learn welding. there’s tremendous demand for welders and the pay is fantastic. this is true for a bunch of different trades. training takes a year sometimes two. and they’re good to go.
Coders should learn to mine.
“Learn to code”
Doesn’t get you anywhere with big tech hiring people from India to do their coding.
Stay in your place is the Leftists’ mantra.
Learn Code?? He doesn’t even know the language of today. Who says that....leftover from WWII when we were using Morse Code??
I remember seeing wage stats on ‘retrained’ workers a while ago. They made, maybe, 50% of what their old job paid. You shove me into a coal mine and pay me by productivity and I’ll be lucky to make 10% of what miners make...they’re damn special people to go down there and pull coal for Americans.
...and I’m still old enough to remember when Democrats used to RESPECT hard-working Americans, now they save their ‘respect’ for rich globalists, Illegals, and people who can’t figure out what their body parts are for.
2. Journalists should learn to code
Learn to code? Ha! To excel, heck even to have modest success and anything resembling job satisfaction in software development you have to have the knack. Training can only take you so far. If you don’t have “it” you can’t learn it. Development is a creative endeavor. Authoring software is similar to working on a commissioned piece of art. There are guidelines to follow, constraints, but it is still a creative act.
Democrats are so scummy and condescending to working class people in fly over country that the Dems dont think they are smart enough to wipe their butts properly, much less write sophisticated computer code.
Fact is, there are a very few jobs in the programing biz and even fewer people who are really qualified to write code
The Democrat “ learn to code” mantra is a snarky insult to blue collar workers.

Uncle Pervy Joe has never done an honest day’s work in his life like a miner.
Yes, and telling blogger / journOlists to learn to code when they lose their jobs is considered hate speech.
“Learn to code...”
I don’t need all that much help, really. I wrote the web shortly after AlGore invented the internet. It’s mostly just maintenance work now.
As a programmer, my advice to the miners is: first, look at the rich guy, who doesn’t know how to code, telling you to learn code. Then, realize that you KNOW you could do HIS job.
Forget coding, Learn to Campaign!
Another advantage for former miners, if running as Democrats, is that a history of appearing in black face seems to be valued experience these days.
Seems like the message for folks in coal country should be the same as is often given to Blacks in the ghettos and Hispanics in the barrios, get an education and move to someplace that is more prosperous and hiring.
Biden will not baffle this nation with his BS.
The groups that promised to teach people to code were fake.
