@Chip_Unicorn Seems like you quoted a post but it says "Post unavailable"...

@Tuftears
Here was the summary:

China graduates 1.3 million engineers per year, versus just 130,000 in the U.S. We need AI to bridge the gap

@Chip_Unicorn @Tuftears it's such a fucking flimsy profiteering excuse, with a little sinophobia in there for some spice.

@Leucrotta

@Tuftears
Yup. Yup. Yup.

The only way it could be sold to me is:

The US has pissed off every other country in the world, and no one wants to work here any longer. And no Americans, at any price, are willing to put in the effort to become engineers...

@Chip_Unicorn @Leucrotta My take would be, "You want us to graduate more engineers? Start funding education and child care and this is crazy talk, pay people more so they *want* to be engineers. Or so they can afford to have kids who will be engineers."
