You don't need an engineer to build a bridge, you need bridge builders to build a bridge.

Bridges can be built without engineers, but they can't be built without bridge builders (labor).

What a maroon! Yes labor can build a bridge without engineers, but it will not have much capacity and will probably fall down after a short time. Your bible, Das Kapital is suitable only for toilet paper!

You are the moron here...look up, your friend Willie Green is nearly cannonizing Marx.

The point is that bridges can be built without engineers, but they can't be built without bridge builders.

Nothing Marxist about that, just a fact.

Luis doesn't know what age we are in. He doesn't read the tech columns either. But I digress, the issue is not labor versus engineering, the issue is national economic independence. Having the production here is the only way to have thriving labor, engineering and science. They are not separate, although labor is less and less in demand among the three. But people can retrain for any role in production - if only there is production to speak of.
