I think the bottom line is that economies evolve, and whilst free trade may be a factor the larger one is automation. We need many things to be able to adjust, but cheap education/retaining/skills programs would really help. However education/training is one of those non-commercialized areas that have become more commercial.Last edited by hack; December 1, 2016, 02:41 PM.

I do think there is a growing demand for specialized training/education in the US. Skills beyond a HS diploma, but more specialized than a 4 yr college degree.Grammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.

I somewhat learned how to code in High School 25 years ago. And at least learned the basics of computer theory. You would think by now, there would be a much more advanced way to get kids that kind of training. My kids are in high school and their exposure to the basic stuff I was taught is pitiful. It's crazy how little it is focused on.
