There is just not a need in this day and age for the amount of workers that performed tasks on the plant floor. To get ahead today is to upgrade those skill, blend with tech savvy and integrate those posts. Most do not want to hear or take advantage of the opportunity.

Unfortunately, we have gotten ourselves in the position where if the government/union/education complex doesn't create lots of simple, good-paying jobs for people who are too stupid and miseducated to do work more advanced than filling in a circle for Democrats every two years, the whole country in going to collapse into civil unrest and criminal overload.

This is where the age old question comes up, who is responsible for the training? The employee that wants to get ahead? The union that is working for their members to create more opportunity? The owner who wants to keep good people and create opportunity for his loyal workers? Or the Government? I feel it is the person's responsibility to create the opportunity for themselves.
