General Discussion

In areas that women make more than men it is usually caused by a combination of education gaps (women have attended and graduated college st higher rates than men this century) and the gutting of many union jobs.

Poor white men are generally poor because they didn't build the skills they need to make a living wage and then likely live in areas that proudly busted unions. They blame their plight on anti white sentiment rather than their refusal to get a credential (1 year, 2 year associate degree, or 4 year degree) in a field with job prospects that pay well.

I remember teaching in an outer suburbs if Dayton st the turn of the century. The local auto plant had a huge article in the Dayton daily news that said that they were phasing out unskilled labor positions and that they suggested people who wanted to work there in the future go to one of the local community college and study robotics operations or repairs.

I mentioned the article in class and how what we were learning in science would prepare them for those classes. I had two parents complain to the superintendent that I lied to their kids because their grandfather got their dad a job at the plant and his dad got him a job and he would be able to do the same for his son even if he was a HS dropout like him.

Seriously, I read the quote directly from the paper of some VP type at the jeep plant. Just trying to prepare students for what comes next.

Those students kids are now old enough to work and blame the Dems and not the billionaire overlords and their lapdog rethug stooges.

But really. All that is just an excuse to be a racist sexist piece of crap who doesn't take responsibility for what happens to themselves.
