Dear Bill
the lack of SKILLED WORKERS problem has been coming for years.
Actually decades. Maybe 6 and counting.
My reading of traits of Gen X, Gen Y, Millenniums is that they didn't want to become SKILLED WORKERS

of the 50s, 60s, maybe early 70s.

THROW IT AWAY
ASSEMBLE IT CHEAP
LOWER THE PRICE
THROW IT AWAY if it WEARS OUT or BREAKS
Now with computers, tablets, phones
they are replaced by news software or APPS
or new versions that are the HOTTEST.
I remember the leader of the local APPLE/MAC Club
who said she was still using her first Mac.
Unfortunately all the internet software of apps
have and continue to out date the units
sometimes in months
