If you’re skilled in a trade, you probably have more of a chance of not being financially uprooted than someone with a white collar degree whose job will be AI’d in the next 5 years. That said, to make decent money in a trade, it helps a lot to have a degree from a trade school.

They ran a guy more senile than Trump, spoke exclusively to big business and changed candidates at the last minute. Blaming voters for the blunders of powerful people is about as childish as it gets, but here we are.
