We will also have a great deal of difficulty with our unemployment rate ~ and will be looking back at today's functional 20% rate as being a Golden Age of workers!
We could probably become a nation of OWNERS ~ do that as an occupation.
The major influence on MFG is energy. Assuming the corruptocrats lose and we can exploit our coal natgas & oil were poised to f**k the ME especially the saudis. We’re exporting fracked LNG to the EU @ $16 vs $1.6-2.4 non liquefied us consumption.
So going forward, educating for industry requirements means jettisoning the government education model for something like a communal /home school/ Kahn Academy model hybrid. On an interesting note this will also kill the commie monopoly on higher ed as fewer students attend “Harvard” vs harvard-online.edu for minimal to free. An interesting dynamic going on is the ivy embrace of low cost to free online ed. What the corrupticrats don’t get is the value of attending “harvard” will be proven to be networking, much like the Japanese college system, not the info imparted on the heads full of mush. This intern as, the economy becomes more info/knowledge based, will make, the old boys club less relevant. This will get “skills” not relationship, back to the income equation. Because libs want wealth taxed, they will ensure the less productive capital rich are forced out of the USA thus losing the ability to fund the corrupicrats, and influence policy.
