Look back at the Depression during the 30's. S depression is a prolonged recession, which if im not mistaken we are in a prolonged recession, no? Back to my point, FDR made how many jobs for the unemployed which broke the back of the depression and started pulling us out, nay? theres other reasons for the influx of national wealth then. compare that to now. they had minimal technology, and had to do stuff by hand. In our case Technology has sort of caused this. 2.2 Million for a single aircraft, 1.4 million for a single cruise missle..where are we getting the money for this technology? yes, we have people building these objects, but many of the companies only want people who have a higher education. How many people can afford College? Maybe I'm blinded by the fact that I live in a working community where everything you have you worked for, but I feel we need to back off of technology and continue how we got by 80, 90, `100 hell even a 120 years ago during the Industrial Revolution.
I keep ranting. sorry.
80, 90, 100, 120 years ago they were also on the cutting edge of technology.
but many of the companies only want people who have a higher education
This is only a good thing.
What you're looking for here is a regression.
One of the problems of 'back then' was the exact opposite of this, liquidity of workers. The position of the worker in an environment where anyone with hands can do the work is pretty much worse than slaves, because slaves represent more of an investment.
The more specialized work is, the more education it requires, the better it is, in the end, for the worker. He becomes more of an investment, more specialized, less replaceable.
The only issue is the exclusivity of education, but tearing down progress certainly won't help in that field.
