Few want there kids to get their hands dirty…

I hear often families discouraging the RN profession… yet good pay and job security… unless urge family is foreign born.

The mechanical trades not so much in fashion.

Not every grad can be in finance, real estate or a government EPA inspector.

I wouldn’t be so sure. It’s well known that consumers hate the emissions equipment’s reduced reliability and even more so the cost. If it was made legal I think you would see it disappear in a hurry.
And it is an EPA regulation, not an executive order. I wonder if someone who worships the climate change religion enters that position can undo it as easily as an EO? It would seem to be.
Surely anything produced in compliance will be grandfathered in the future, of course you can't underestimate "that types" disrespect of personal property either.
Maybe if the manufacturers call the un choked new motors transgender......😅

I am friends with a lot of adult parents who have HS and college age kids. It’s sad to see those parents that struggle to push their kids, and even cheat for them, to get them through college.
They should have sent those kids to learn a trade, a skill, or a small business.

If they have HS and College age kids then you don’t yet know the results of their education on success so how are you already sad for them? Are these USA or Russian parents you know?

Because they either graduated with poor grades or are struggling and don’t want to go to college.
Their parents are making them go for the “status”.

I see nothing but benefit in learning a second or third trade or skill. Not only something to fall back on if the first one blows up, but it gives all sorts of opportunities to save money or just as a hobby.

There just are not jobs anymore for a lot of college degrees. A single year learning the basics of a trade can free a person from job worries for a lifetime.

Emission rules have sent a lot of very good equipment out of California… doubt any of it is coming back as long as California sets the in State standard.

Right. But doing that requires that the other side wants the same thing. That's a fantasy that is not going to happen. Somebody needs to have a real plan for how to get things done the best way with what we have.
I’ll hold you to that. I think it will come back. Not to the degree of 1900-1960, but recent changes, popular with American company owners, are pursuing a new future in manufacturing.

Seems like the best, most direct, and least harmful strategy for incentivizing US manufacturing is a direct federal tax credit waiver for ten years for the construction of new manufacturing facilities. Straightforward and no collateral economic damage.
