Wake up and smell the coffee, dude. 60+ million Americans have been aborted since 1973. These future workers that all these employers desperately need ended up in dumpsters.

That’s tragic - but it has little or nothing to do with unfilled blue collar jobs.
World wide, the total number of industrial jobs has been going down for almost 20 years - even in China.
In that same period of time, the amount of goods produced, and the total value of those goods, has gone up.
The only reason there is a current “shortage” of labor in America is because industrial companies have not yet figured out how to profitably replace those human beings with AI software and automation.
Bottom Line - when the productivity of machines increases faster than the productivity of people, the machines are going to win, even if the abortion rate is zero.
