Many people also say education is the key. They say that not enough Americans are being trained for engineering, science, or production occupations.

ROFLMAO.

The majority of people have IQ's around 100.

And we have already reached the point where even people having IQ's above average are finding our technological world harder and harder to keep up with.

I would guess that maybe only 10% of college graduates were smart enough to begin with to make a real contribution in our brave new economy.

The rest are in over their heads, and spend more time hiding their incompetence from peers and superiors, until they bail out for a job somewhere else, where they repeat the cycle.

Point is, the majority of people are incapable of embarking on careers in science and technology.

Most people just aren't smart enough (and God bless them for it, but that's another story).

But they can be adept at working with their hands, which is just what nature designed the majority of people to do.

This free-for-all economy ignores human nature as much as communism did, and will fail just as communism did.

Thank you! A voice of reason from Age of Reason!

A little blunt but astute statement!

The really sad thing is that its win-win for the Chi-Comms. I.e., the failure is being exploited by the communist government of China, and they are positioning themselves in some not-so-distant future to re-assert communism's ideological primacy...and will nationalize all the foreign investments, not to mention orchestrate an international isolation of the then-dependant U.S.
