The problem is the educational establishment refuses to create schools to train workers. Also, corporations don’t want to pay workers.

[@jasonlewis5350]

It’s not training leaders either. It trains people to think they’re special and only gives them enough information to get their foot in the door. It doesn’t teach them two key elements of success - 1. Stand out from the others 2. Elevate the people who work with you or for you. In other words, people are “educated” to think like an entitled socialist who is “me” driven and doesn’t know how to create and sustain opportunities once they get a leadership position IF they get one, and don’t know what to do if one isn’t handed to them. I see it year in and year out. The people who stand out do not have college degrees and the people with degrees have no idea how to sustain or grow their business and provide better opportunities for the others around them. It’s constant chaos and fear and the success is coming from the people banding themselves together and separating themselves from the leadership and the leaders taking full responsibility for the success when they had absolutely nothing to do with it and can’t even explain it.

[@022100bmlotus]

No, the problem is Gov got involved in what the skilled worker can keep as income. See my note above. There is no money to be self employed and really good at your craft. Better to drive a garbage truck for Gov, or postal carrier, or mosquito abatement, or air quality board. ANY GOV EMPLOYEE IS BETTER PAY, THAT A TRUELY SKILLED WORKED.

[@unclejim1528]

What bmlotus said, and it's not that corporations don't want to pay, it's that they don't have to pay, and that's because workers are dime a dozen in US, why? Because they shipped out work to china (less work, more people available for what's left) and now they import cheap labor, so take what corporations offer, or they'll hire illegals. Don't regulate pay, stop corrupt government. Only good trade is balanced trade, not free trade. China loved fee trade, west financed everything they built.

as a senior with a 401k, i hate the idea of focusing on the working man and ignoring wallstreet, whom i've entrusted with my life savings. where are the real republicans?

[@jonlbdg]

It’s a false choice- you can focus on both. China- Russia and Iran are pushing isolationism in the. U.S. to bring down our companies globally … The USG is the most dysfunctional institution in history and our companies are the most successful- who are you going to take advice from?

Remember the minimum wage is now $15, so if you're making $30 an hour, you know. Just $15 above poverty. I think there are a lot of people who are suddenly realizing that they don't have any skills of any value if their own kids can go in for $15 an hour and flip burgers and it been warned and warned and warned coal money's never coming back. Don't sit around waiting for it. It's never coming back

First, the primary education system is broken. Show kids and parents their competition in China, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Poland, Serbia, Israel, Mexico, Guatemala, etc. The kids need to strengthen their education pursuits, and then jump into the job market doing the best they can, not just a poor job that an immigrant from China will gladly do with a smile too.

Yes but it’s been inflation for decades that is the reason people can’t keep up.

Awesome! I love this new direction. I think that Mr. Task's (sorry if I'm incorrect) direction is exactly correct. The CEO's and BoD's will make their money, but if we take care of the middle class with good jobs, with manufacturing, everybody wins and this country gets stronger.

The fact that companies are able to buy up large swaths of farmland and turn it into industrial housing instead of being forced to repair to hundreds of thousands (if not, millions) of abandoned structures that already have plumbing and electricity going to them is insane. Corporations are coming in and buying about 10 acres of undeveloped land and then building about 40+ ranch style homes (one story with no basement) on that land and selling them for over half a million dollars. We currently have a population decline so having more new homes isn’t the issue because the living space already exists. Besides, you can’t maintain a population anyways if you can’t feed it. You need to have sufficient amounts of undeveloped land for cattle to graze and fields of crops for food. Maybe we should be passing laws that restrict how new homes are built and how much land can be bought up. All new properties should be no less than 2 acres of land. Exempt obviously already existing properties.

He’s right! A major problem is top heavy administration with overpaid executives with their multi-million bonuses. This is true from local school administration to hospital healthcare. Corporation CEO’s do this buddy system and reap the benefits from those who work hard to bring in clients to build the corporation.

[@PatriciaSyson]

Also true in government jobs. The working public is paying all those salaries and unbelievable benefits not afforded the general public.

For those who know our history. Inequality has been with us since the gilded age. Since the working glass/middle class was defined. So going back to the 1800 til now. Not a lot has changed. Other than the gap between the rich and the rest of us has widened. So it's always surprising or perplexing to me, why every 4 years with great alacrity we rush to vote for our political candidate. Thinking anything is going to change. When will people realize all politicians use populism to cajole the masses into getting votes. They play on human emotion to influence the 99% and it seems to work every time...smh
