    Just saw the clip of Rahm Emanuel saying laid off retail workers should be told to learn to code.

    GOP's gonna take 285 House seats in 2022.

      This was an epic failure with Hillary and coal workers in 2016. Why the fuck did they think it was going to work again? Also, one cannot just become a programmer, it's quite an advanced set of skills required to do good job.

        Advanced skills required, easily offshored and eventually on the lower level automated and only theoretically a 'good' job because of scarcity.

        A friend works for a company that develops software for one of the big airlines - he was one of three people in his ~20-person section not laid off last month (and probably only because his boss felt guilty, my friend has been in and out of the hospital for a year with shit).

        They don't care if it works (as a political strategy or like actually works), though, they know capitalism has no answer - but it's not their kids or grandkids who'll be living in cardboard boxes.
