That says it all, doesn't it? I sorta feel bad for these schmucks because they're clearly illiterate and ignorant. Like any other person who can barely read and is grossly uninformed, they don't even realize just how bad off they are, and I just want to help them.
But, as I often say, you have to
want to be helped in order to actually be helped. None of these guys think they have a problem (probably due to a false sense of superiority as a white male of a certain generation), and that's why they're stuck in crap jobs barely making enough to live the life they want. White Americans are finding out that the global economy is a competitive place, and they simply don't have the skills to compete anymore.
How about some remedial English classes to start? Perhaps that might put them on a path to become more educated and maybe have a new set of marketable skills to work with. Perhaps then they'll stop blaming anyone but themselves for their current set of circumstances, and become more empathetic to people that don't look like them.
Who am I kidding...these guys are lost causes.
