We sent them to college to get training, and then sent their jobs out of the country. I know about the self righteous students getting their degrees in womyn's studies and they get no sympathy from me, but many did what they were supposed to do. They trained in the tech jobs, only to have their elders offshore those jobs so they could save a few pennies. Now they're left with school loans and part time jobs saying "Fries with that?"
Is it any wonder why they're angry and rioting all over the place? What did we think was going to happen?
And after all of that, where are those cheaper prices and benefits to the consumer the free traitors promised us?
That rather depends on which “tech” you are talking about.
Google and such vastly over-hired, which also meant lots more college students went into coding and such, then Google et al dumped a lot of those lower level coders and programmers just as the grads hit the market.
Granted that a lot of coding and programming has been going overseas for literally decades — one guy I know who I suspect is just an average coder at best, threw in the towel, went back to school, and became a dentist. (I also have a nephew who “veered off” his freshman year and went straight into dentistry - he’s making fistfuls of money in his 1st few years.)
In any event, “tech” covers a lot more than coders and programmers, and a lot of STEM areas are doing great. Ditto for many health fields and service professionals (plumbers, electricians, appliance repair, etc.)
