This all depends on return to US manufacturing having an impact before dems find a new trajectory back into power.

The ONE factor missing thus far from this equation is a competent workforce.

The dems have totally succeeded in dumbing down the bulk of electorate and, consequently, the pool of available domestic labor (and brains); absent massive changes to education THIS YEAR - from K-12 all the way through community colleges and much of academia - there simply won’t be enough competent workers. I repeat: “Competent.”

I have grave reservations that this administration will address that factor, considering that they can’t even prosecute a SINGLE individual from the plandemic and the best that they can do to-date for ‘Russia collusion/coup’ is an indictment for lying to Congress.

My kids have been having trouble finding jobs as well, and they are VERY well educated, especially in math, and have a great work ethic.

My s-i-l has been looking for over a year, but hey, he’s a white guy.

The job my daughter got, which she was very qualified for, had hundreds of applicants. I can’t believe all of them are illiterate either. No doubt, some are. I’ve heard enough of people who are so full of themselves and overrate their value to the company in what they expect in compensation, so I know it’s true.

But the foreign worker market needs to be cut way back.

There’s simply no incentive for American kids to even try any more. Add that to the mix of destroying their education, it’s a recipe for disaster.

That said, I learned the hard way, through experience, that lack of high school math skills CAN BE overcome. I was a casualty of the *new math* generation and some teachers who were more interested in hitting on the pretty girls than teaching math, and ended up getting a degree in Meteorology which requires calculus. But it wasn’t until I homeschooled my own kids and used Saxon Math to teach them that I really learned the nuts and bolts of how math works and WHY.

It’s available on the internet for purchase, is not very expensive, comes with a textbook, teacher’s manual, test books, answer keys, the whole shebang. My daughter taught herself Calculus from the Saxon Calculus curriculum.

There are resources out there for people who really want to learn.
