Because we don’t graduate engineers anymore. American students all want to be famous or wealthy or both and they want it now. Therefore they major in performing arts, sports or finance. Those pesky math and science course make their little brains hurt. This is another reason why we are slowly becoming a second class country.

This is not a new phenomenon, it’s been going on for 40 years, when a lot of people who didn’t really belong in school acquired “soft” degrees. Before then, the only reason you took those courses of study was so that you would not waste valuable time in college better spent looking for a spouse who was getting a math or science degree!

On the battery, I worry about what happens when a battery like that develops a short. I think “it might be bad”. As in, vaporizing in a white-hot fireball.

We graduate engineers. They just can’t find decent jobs.
