    You think Trump knows that?
    He may or may not. A majority of Trump voters probably don't...I didn't...till reading about it in an article. His advisors are cynically presenting it as something dramatically new as if to show he's doing incredible things.

        Btw... California farmers are concerned about labor shortages. Labor has been getting tighter the last few years and now they are having shortages. Improved wages and H-2A visas are helping, but the manual labor is tough and people don't want to do the work.

        • Its almost like it would be a good idea to import cheap labor, and focus strongly on training our native youth with the entry-level tech/programming skills that are the key to middle-class earning potential.

          Or we could spend billions to wall off the labor, and change policy to flood our market with foreign tech workers.

          Tough decision.

            My suspicion is there will be new machinery invented in the next couple of years to replace those lost workers.

            Btw... you assume those American youth want those jobs and training... not sure I agree. That has not been my experience

                Education can't fix lazy and stoned, but I think we need to be wary of painting with too broad a brush when talking about tens of millions of kids. Especially when we really haven't tried, systemically.

                The biggest disadvantage our kids face is probably the rate at which they mature, compared to their foreign counterparts. I wonder though, if that trend can be bucked in urban and rural areas, as opposed to affluent suburbia. That requires some serious thought and pivots in education...unicorn.

                • Education is symptomatic. It requires some serious thought in much bigger areas than education. I mean, if you want to chase it.

                        Seymour hersch spells out exactly how he did it

                        that rich was afraid for his life

                        wheeler gets the frontline of the washington post for suing trump --but lets ignore the fact he was hired by the family and publically stated fbi told him rich was the leaker

                        the irs has been auditing trump since god was a private and still nothing

                            good article by CNN outlining everything except riche's potential contribution
                            Federal investigators exploring whether Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian spies have seized on Trump and his associates’ financial ties to Russia as one of the most fertile avenues for moving their probe forward, according to people familiar with the investigation.

                                There's nothing to comment on. Garbage conspiracy talk from garbage websites that will say absolutely anything to distract from Trump's presidency.

                                Why do you believe the FBI and DC Police are working to cover for Hillary? Are the entire forces corrupt or only a few hundred in each?

                                Good luck finding those pizza shop pedophiles in your free time when you're not sending threatening letters to Sandy Hook parents.
