    I feel so bad for those without college degrees or trade certifications. They are absolutely fucked going forward.

        Do you think everyone is poor? With the right training or college degree a path to moderate wealth is quite open. Trade jobs are especially in high demand and bring in a huge income.

                  I work in the trades. That’s how I know carpenters don’t make a hundred grand a year you fucking idiot. Or plumbers, or drywallers, or housecleaners.

                    You must be a really bad carpenter or live in a really shitty area. All the carpenters on the West Coast are rich AF.
