My Dad has an eighth grade education, he had to quite school and go to work to help feed his family. He did all kinds of work from electrical, plumbing, concrete, construction, armature rebuilding, etc... He ended up running a successful small business had his home paid for 12 yrs. after he had it built and is totally debt free.
I would put his real life experience and commons sense up against any of these university educated half-wits any day of the week, any time. These progressive fools just don’t get it. They can’t see what is openly staring them in the face for their own arrogance and condescension.
My Dad was on the hobo at ten but could do more than any man I ever knew. Built everything himself from radios, Tvs, Welders, hand wound transformers, violins, guitars, a master mechanic, all with a third grade education. Lost him 47 years ago.
