When all those plumbers, electricians, and Hvac Trades retire who's gonna do the work?
Black men attendance of HBCU declining

That speaks to what @NYC Rebel was talking about. No one prepares black boys for the future.
Robots. I'd be more worried about who's gonna take care of our health.

Have you ever been on a construction site from start to finish?
Ive spoken to many engineers, project managers, and Superintendents, robots cannot do trade work.

...on the otherside of the pond
Im honestly tired of telling niqqas the same old thing in here. Im reposting what I said in 2017.
William Julius Wilson in his book “When Work Disappears” wrote
"Underlying accelerated ghetto joblessness has been the US transition from a manufacturing to a service economy--a development that particularly devastated urban blacks"
Funny thing is....it's now no longer just a "black only" problem. It's spilling over into a national issue.
What we need to understand is that enrollment is also down for white men. For men across the board.
Thats why we are seeing this weirdo love many Black men have for Trump and its alignment to White men. He’s speaking for Male resentment in a way that doesn’t speak for how work has changed in this country
Niqqas aint adjust unlike our women. Im not about to let some of yall in here turn this into some women being at fault shyt.
And fukk Peruvian clown. You are not qualified to speak on socioeconomic and education regarding Black men with me.

Theres gonna be a shortage across the board because of how ass backwards trades and apprentenince ships are in this country
The important thing to factor. You still have to do coursework and have the aptitude in whatever field youre in. You need to be on time and focused. Still need to communicate. You need to be able to delay gratification and work diligently. A lot of people who were able to get into the trades..could've gotten a college degree as well. I just don't see it as simple as "they're not going to college so they should go to trade school".
No and with the advancement in robotics I won't need to. I work in corporate governance.

observed and spoken to. I’ve even been guilty of it in the past.
It’s also occurring in this very thread
Yeah man. Black men just can't get it together as it pertains to adjusting. Capitalism passed us by bro.
Not yet. Give it 4 more years.

I mean, this past election literally proved that to be true. Only time black men got acknowledged was to be chastised and brow beaten.
With this being said why does no one prepare black boys for the future? @NYC Rebel @ViShawn
What are y'all's thoughts?
Why is that?

Tbh, I feel like there's been a war on education (for men).
From influencers on down, there's also the idea that education for education's sake is "bad".
This is because education has now become PURELY a vocational product.
Children should learn Math and Chemistry and Physics and Philosophy and Art history
to expand their horizons NOT just to "get a job".
The problem always boils down to workers vs. whoever controls the factory.
It doesn't matter if you're the person delivering packages OR the person working
on ensuring the supply chain works effectively.
We should all be paid fair wages in a system that doesn't strip you of your dignity and
a means to reliably feed yourself.
