@TrevorGoodchild @leespringfield1903 @Boomerman @Shadowman311 Interesting story. Stanley will do what Stanley does, but the thing that impresses me in this article is the still-present-but-fading group of older white men who hold practical-institutional knowledge in making, designing, engineering things.
My father and grandfather were like this -- they could build and craft things on several fronts. We used to have a veritable surfeit of guys like this in the USA... where I grew up in Western PA a lot of guys had family like this... whether Germans, Italians, Slavs, old Scotch Irish... everyone had uncles, granddads who could tear apart an engine, had tech hobbies, could show you how stuff worked.
Regardless of the shit show that is our politics, this has to count as one of our most pressing tasks: getting more young white men to sponge up whatever the remaining "old experts" can pass along.
@PereAvaitRaison @Boomerman @leespringfield1903 @Shadowman311 @TrevorGoodchild And American factories moved to China because, the art of manufacturing was accepted by Chinks,like the creation of “Fine China”.And the art of manufacturing was accepted by poor high IQ individuals as a way to make a living.Instead of farming.This was engendered by the cult of Cain that was cursed to manipulate people who cultivate crops which they are jealous of.
