In all my years, I have never experience what is now taking place.
On reading The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels by Jon Meacham
He brings out that fear is behind what taking place.
And this note-worthy comment;
We are not enemies, but friends.
We must not be enemies.
Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” -Abraham Lincoln, 1861
Now, many use labels for folk they might disagree.
Much of our labor in industry is been taken by 'robotics'.
Not other folk, who many see as 'cheap labor'.
Many of our 'trades' are looking for apprentices.
I went through a four year welding apprenticeship.
After one year at an off campus branch of Purdue university.
That is one way to go, if higher education is close to you.
Nonetheless, many are getting degrees that fail to address the needs of industry.
Years back, many thought computers would be the answer.
Now many in other nations are leading the way.
Also many are coming with different visas, for the needs of our industries.
With that I will now close, I hope it will not be another 6 months.
