The answer is we need to stop de-educating half the people in the country so they can do better jobs than flip a burger.
I agree with you that is part of the answer. But not the whole one, unfortunately. And part of the de-educating thing for me is to stay away from most of the colleges, NOT all of them mind you. What they teach in so many colleges now-a-days is PC crap, what is needed in my own opinion is more of a grounding in logical thought not “I feel” stuff.
But what is the whole answer? I don’t have it, I wish that I did though.
