Not to go too far off topic, but a friend sent me a rather interesting tidbit from Idaho this morning. It seems more than 7000 tech, engineering and science jobs went begging last year in the state of Idaho. Idaho. I mention it because the American president brags that he wants to bring coal mining and textile mill jobs back, while 7000 VERY well-paying jobs are unfilled in one tiny state alone. It's a trend that should trouble Americans, but does it? The jobs of the future aren't in an antiquated fuel source or an industry that figured out faster ways to make their products cheaper decades ago. And American schools are teaching their kids......... how to take standardized tests. Yep, the real good paying jobs are going to be for professional test-takers. Trump wants to build a wall around America, and have everyone digging for coal, and y'all will be happy. Build the wall and all the ill-will it implies to the rest of the world, and watch while the rest of the world passes you as if you're standing still. Asian and European kids aren't learning how to take tests. They're learning to speak and write more than one language, they're learning how to write code, they're honing science and technology skills. Remember, in the first GOP presidential debate last year, when asked what the biggest challenge facing the American economy was, then candidate trump said, "Wages are too high." It would seem there are powerful forces in America that are dedicated to keeping wages low. That's what the popular American disdain for education and languages is all about. Have fun with all those coal mining and textile mill jobs trump is going to get for ya. The rest of the world is racing along in the 21st century.
