Wait--is your mom from Hillsdale? That's where I grew up!

lol women have been crossing the street to get away from men for literally ever, this is not new.

Did he...did he just "OK Boomer" DC? I never thought Miller's real agenda was against old white hippies, but here we are.

These jobs are only available to those who already have the skills. To get the skills, you need to pay. Once you have the skills, you need to be paid enough to pay back your loans. It's not that they don't want the jobs. Employers won't train their labor or pay for training.

Also, employers could provide training for skilled labor--they could hire actual entry-level folks and train them up instead of requiring years of self-funded training. But that means being a little less greedy so...

Skilled trades started dying when employers started expecting the public schools to pay for training. People I graduated high school with WOULD have gone into more trades, if they were willing to hire and train

Does anyone else remember the Oreos animation from the early 2000s? It made the budget super easy to understand.

Yep, this looks an awful lot like scapegoating
