There should be vocational retraining opportunity however limited its success has been. Tax supported vocational training schools and 2 year college schooling towards getting AA degrees in needed skills would go a long way toward eliminating a lot of need to work temporarily at minimum or low wages to help pay for continuing or advanced schooling.

There only might be a need of 1/3 of today's current minimum or low wage job positions in the near future.

Do we behave like a Luddite and destroy the machines or regress progress with Luddite politics -- the idiots shall inherit the earth?
Vocational training to do what?

There's no need to destroy the machines. Just to make sure they're made in the West for making cars, clothing, electrical goods, metals, etc. And not in the Far East.

Examine who got very rich from changing to the new Industrial Revolution practices. Where they lived and where their wealth stayed. Your approach is more Luddite than you think. You want to hang onto the old ways of sending jobs and wealth overseas.



How many members do you have in China?
