I am a Paraprofessional (teaching assistant) in a classroom with kids with severe disabilities, in a public school system. I make $20,000 a year, so I am not someone who directly benefits from international trade because of entrepreneurship.

I am in the mist of passing my state's exams so that I can teach Business, Economics, or Middle Grade Mathematics. The current generation is in desperate need of teachers who challenge them and don't fill their heads with collectivist garbage. It'll be a good gig when I secure an actual teaching position and the taxpayer money will be well spent, at least in my case...I know my stuff and can teach it if given the benefit of a receptive audience (or at least one that hasn't bought into the stupid shit that gets parroted by pundits who should know better).

I've done many things in my career and I have not been afraid to quit a job -- with notice -- if I become dissatisfied or find an all-around better opportunity; I do not fear competing for employment, either. The job I'm most proud of having: a 10-year active duty United States Marine that achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant.

Satisfied, now, that I am not I high society type and who's rather just an average Joe?

OK I’ll admit, I may have misjudged.

A lot.

My apologies. And compliments for your profession.

That said. Now let’s get that trade war going! :)

So your students, won’t have to read in books about things called “jobs”, which Americans used to have.
