I appreciate the comment but I was addressing the root cause of our society’s dysfunction—political and economical (the two are intimately connected obviously). Professor Wolff says capitalism is the root cause of our problems. I say it’s lack of education. We’re talking about politics and economics so I’m discussing education as it relates to those topics. Your father’s skills, although impressive, are not really relevant. Your degree in poly sci should have helped you become a more capable citizen. My point is that few Americans study economics or political science and we don’t teach them with any effectiveness in most k-12 programs.
Very good comment!
They don’t teach you how to use a lathe or drive a nail or paint a car or other product. My father was a ‘Sheet Metal Mechanic’, in that he was a skilled craftsman who cut and installed HVAC ducts when they were made of sheet metals. My father was more than intelligent enough to contribute to general business decisions. As are any of the workers in a factory, or on a construction crew.
By the way, the people who own everything are a small portion of the population. A college degree doesn’t entitle you to anything. But if your father leaves you 40 Million dollars in a Trust fund, or gives you a million dollars on your 21st birthday, do you really need a college education?
I feel honored to be able to value your opinion.
I’m poor so you are allowed to value my opinion. 😜
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
