Up to a point, you make some sense, but you cannot paint the entire USA with such a broad brush. Skills are learned, not instinctive. We do have the skills. Maybe not in your particular area, but we have many talented folks here in the US. They just didn't happen to apply to the place you are ranting about. Yes, there are a lot who will not pass background checks. But, are employers being fair in rejecting people just on a past mistake or two?

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
