  1. Perhaps we just need to lower our standards. A GED or possibly a degree from the Wharton School of Business gained after a good stint in a rigorous military school. We don’t need any more of these Ingunur nerds. We can just outsource our STEM sector to the Chinese or South Asians so that our Corporate masters can be more profitable. S/

  2. Could it really just be a need for more technicians and skilled tradesmen? The actual in the field people. Got a whole 2-3 generations telling everyone to go to college, especially STEM as of late. Might think some engineering disciplines would be saturated.

  3. Trump and MAGA are driving all the smart people out of jobs, or out of the country. They are creating a true Idiocracy.

  4. >the world

    >anti-immigration

    OP ever heard of the world outside of the US?
