Oh yeah.
I'm SURRRRE that he'll give grants to trade schools.
That's SOOOOOO belieeeeevable.
It will go to the Trump School of Business Online University.
It's just crypto all the way down!
Lessons organized in cooperation with the internationally reknowned PragerU.
The Donald Trump Center for Kids who Can't Business Good and Wanna Learn to do Other Stuff Good Too.
About as legit as any other business school.
Well there are about 8.5K trade schools, so they would only get $353K each; which is less than they are losing thanks to Trump’s “big beautiful bill” gutting the trade school funds to help teach things like how to install solar panels and repair things like heat pumps
That's $3B that's gonna disappear into someone's pocket.
The money will be going to Republican owned private for-profit trade schools that will be nothing more than diploma mills cranking out unqualified "graduates".
BAH GAWD KING, THAT'S THE CORPSE OF ITT TECH RISING FROM THE DEAD!
More like Devry, lest we forget his first SecEd. Though I suppose the wrestling reference works for the current one.
I'm cool with this. Let's devalue the trades by having an over-abundance of blue collar workers while simultaneously increasing demand for white collar jobs by reducing the supply of educated workers.
I get my toilet unclogged for even cheaper, and I get more money ten years from now when demand has risen.
I'd prefer to just have educated workers instead of glorifying back-breaking manual labor that the employees hate, but ill take a win where I can lol
That or businesses will need more immigrants to fill those white collar jobs Americans will no longer be educated for. But because of immigration policy, they won’t be able to fill those roles. So they will leave and open up shop in India or Central America.
As an office IT guy, a vast majority of office jobs could be done by nearly anyone. If they just stopped requiring a college degree to do those jobs and trained people, I think the vast majority of office work will be done
That being said, HR would rather import people with H1Bs, drastically under pay them, and create another layer of class division but separating themselves from the brown people offices to work at the new executive offices or do full WFH forever then admit a college degree was always a class tax to move from working to might class.
Early on Trump came out in support of H1B Visas. They're practically slave labor and will drive down the rewards of white collar jobs. They want to gatekeep upward economic mobility. They are going to cap federal student loan awards if the new budget bill passes (albeit a very high limit) and probably drive it down further so only the rich will have degrees. The rest of us get to fight over which trade accepts us.
BRB, gonna create a "trade school" and buy trump meme coin. We'll gonna need more funding though. After trump's cut, 2 billion ain't enough.
I'm probably ok with that, surprisingly.
The fact that you are entertaining the idea proves that you missed the entire plot. That money would be funnel straight into their pockets.
Because no one at Harvard is stealing value
No. Don't. Stop.
He doesn't care who it helps. As long as it hurts his political enemy in the moment. He'll forget he was mad by lunch. Dude is sundowning hard.
What is sundowning? Is it referencing his age?
Certainly explains his 1am, all caps diatribes.
My great grandfather had a stroke and could no longer feed himself so he was placed in a nursing home.
He was perfectly lucid during the day, knew who everyone was, could remember my grandmothers phone number, all good.
When the sun went down he thought he was living in a hotel in Boise, Idaho in 1939.
There's the real agenda. Trade schools don't teach critical thinking.
There's a difference between having a liberal bias and simply not having the GOP's agenda
Why was the aristocrat university getting welfare checks in the first place?
