- Government grants/scholarships for skilled trades predicted by federal employment office to have a shortfall in either workers or colleges in the near future.
- Federal standardization of all education (if this isn’t the case already) to simplify importing workers out of state
- Increased unemployment benefits for trades to ease off-season/low demand periods and make the career more attractive
- grade-school/high-school and general media propaganda to improve public opinion of ‘grunt workers’
or do absolutely nothing and let the free market figure it out like we’re told it will
It was not a ‘silly demand’. It was an implied argument:
Your statement was either a claim that can be substantiated and should be otherwise it is a personal attack for which you should be banned for 3 days in this world you live in where “I feel seen” is considered uncivil.
But, I think you knew this which is why you, by your own admission, immediately scrambled for an excuse to ban me by examining my history in hopes anything was there so you could press what you think is an ‘I win’ button. Sadly, by abusing your mod powers all you do is hurt Lemmy and the fact you did the exact same thing less than an hour later to someone else you weren’t arguing in good faith with tells me this is a serious problem that I doubt is going to get fixed.
So, enjoy your own personal 4Chan for however long it lasts but know you lost the argument when you couldn’t resort to anything but an unstubstantiated ad hominem and had to hide behind false authority to cover it up.
