I've owned serevral rental properties but in all my years I don't
remember the economy being as terrible as it is now. Graduates are in
heavy debt and have no marketable skills. If they can't live in their
parent's house they are homeless. The real problem is that young
people are ascared of work, they are ascared of persperation, they are
ascared of dirty hands, they are deathly ascared of calluses.
Everthing is made in China because American youth refuses to learn the
skilled trades... they think they deserve big bucks for flipping
burgers... in my opinion no fast food burger flipper deserves more
than $4/hr... they don't like it there are robotics that can easily
prepare ALL fast food. If not for robotics a $25,000 Kia would cost
$250,000. If not for robotics very few of youse could be on line,
because yoose couldn't afford a human made $50,000 PC.
