"When America was 'Great,' Taxes were High, Unions Strong"

Again you're wrong. There's a huge gap in high paying trade jobs that can't be filled and not just low paying unskilled labor jobs available.

our large centralized education system has ill prepared our population and just pushed college readiness as the main end game.

 

Who gives a shit about the country, our Vols suck

 

umm inflation adjusted we are still WELL above 1950s wages today. not sure why people feel the need to unjustly glorify the past.

 

This individual makes a critical observation

 

In the past, people drove cool cars, they wore pants that covered their ass, and didn't make a transvestite out to be some super hero.

 

Are there high paying trade jobs unfilled? Yes. Are they a significant amount of the overall unfilled jobs? No.

 

There's millions of unfilled ones

 

I worked plenty of shitty jobs before I got set in my career. I worked multiple shitty jobs within my career. We have too many people that aren't willing to work shitty jobs simply because they have the option not to.

 

There's a few hundred thousand in middle Tennessee.
