My nephew, who is no dummy, became a welder. He's now supporting a wife and baby, and all are doing well.
It really bugs me that so-called "blue-collar" jobs get so little respect. Every time I take my car to the garage, I'm impressed by how knowlegeable the mechanics are and what a necessary job they're doing. And yet, mechanics are looked down upon by the intelligentsia whose cars wouldn't run without them.
" I don’t see a difference, even if it is a trade school versus an indoctrination facility like a college/university."
That is the difference, right there.
"I think the the thing that messes most people up is "just get into college, it doesn't matter what you do just get a degree...""
Bingo. You get the awared for clear thinking, friend!
"Getting a degree" has come to be looked upon as an end in itself.
The offshoring was a major mistake, agreed. But for my money, it was the media-driven "revolution" of the Sixties that did the most damage.
They are convinced that living in massive debt is the norm.
Very true. It always pissed me off that I was required to waste my time and money on courses that had nothing whatever to do with my major.
"...unlike colleges with bars on every corner..."
You're spot-on with that. I worked in the IT unit of A Major University (tm) for 25 years, and I saw the system up close and in action. The whole force behind it is to convince the paying customers that if you don't have a degree in something -- preferably a PhD -- yiou're less than human.

It's not just the military that's finding ammo hard to get. Also reloading compomemts.
That's about right. I had no idea that crap was even still running.
I used to have to go to the West Coast on business; sometimes to SF.
I was always warned never to go to MacArthur Park.
Jim Ferguson skipped a crucial point on the agenda:

I'm fairly certain that slavery is illegal in the United States.
What's the penalty for mass slavery?
UpChuck Schumer next?
Haven't you heard? We must do nothing. That would be Rracist!
It was emigres from MA and NY who turned once-Republican Vermont into a leftie state,
Once lefties foul their own nest, the have an uncontrollable urge to spread out, and contaminate as many other territories as possible.
But...but...but...what about killers who strangle their victos? We must immediately institute daraconian rope control laws!
Hey, Contemptible Danish Assholes: If you can't feed yur zoo animals, why don't you just release them back into the wild?
On the other hand, you could donate your own foul bodies as food for the zoo animals, thus solving two problems at once.
