“What we’re finding is you don’t grow [the workforce] by hiring them off the street. You have to grow them through the regional workforce development centers. You have to grow them to the apprentice school. We have to grow them to the community colleges. You have to grow them in the high schools and establish programs,” Kastner said.
“People through the pipeline tend to stay more because they chose it as a career. They understand how hard it is, but they just didn’t apply and show up and think they could go and be a shipbuilder.”

we aint defending them militarily other than a show of force if we think somethings imminent

Yes, a lot of Americans go across the border for dental care.

On another note, the cartels pay people on this side of the border to carry fentanyl into the States. But it's the cartels buying the ingredients from China and processing them into fentanyl that results in a lot of deaths in the U.S.

Suddenly electric cars are GREAT.

You all got fooled.

Trump being president is now more important than climate change, the air we breathe and the potential end of the world itself?

Sounds like you can justify anything. Oligarchy? Weren’t they elected? Aren’t you the person that screamed and threw a fit about the protest on January 6? You’re such a phony.

Ask them. It sounds like they know nothing will change for the better with respect to climate with these people in charge.
