Loading ...In high school I took mechanical drawing and all the metal and woodworking classes I could get. After which my entire life was involved in designing fabricating, and installing many thousands of various things by hand and machine.
And it certainly did help me see and understand things (common sense) that the office workers and pencil pushers did not have. And like Trump said, his father told him to learn from or pay attention to the skilled workers on job sites.
This is why I always thought “they” should put together a group of the highest skilled self employed tradesmen, cabinet makers, tool makers carpenters, machinists, plumbers, sheet metal mechanics, aircraft mechanics, electricians etc. and create a Common Sense Test for any and all government leadership positions, BEFORE they even run for office.
If we had people in government that had common sense, and balls, like Trump did, the USA would NOT have all our manufacturing jobs STUPIDLY exported overseas. We now have a what $24 trillion national debt from importing $24 trillion more than we export.
Plus what is the Dollar value loss of extremely lower living standards after 1975 for young people coming out of high school that can’t buy new cars with 3 years loans or move out and get married and have kids? Another $24 Trillion?
Those young kids today need well off baby boomer parents with high paying jobs or businesses to get them started.
