Job Skills Gap - Push students toward trade schools

There are many issues with sluggishness of setting a foundation for the changing job skills. Low wages in a time of low no one wants the high college tuition, high cost. So with all of the mess going to a trade school has issues also in the point of your education is only worth the paper it's printed on being less resources for learning and less from the less cost etc. Like Berkeley vs a JR college and so trade schools pushes the lack in innovation and growth and life in general.

So with the job skills gap threat to the future there is a push to get those jobs filled so they go where they can. It's a crazy time in a time of change with a seemingly lack of adaptation! 

"The world of work is in a state of flux, which is causing considerable anxiety and with good reason. There is growing polarization of labor-market opportunities between high- and low-skill jobs, unemployment and underemployment especially among young people, stagnating incomes for a large proportion of households, and income inequality."

~~~~~Unfilled manufacturing jobs push students toward trade schools

Millions of unfilled U.S. manufacturing jobs are pushing high school seniors to consider forgoing traditional four-year universities and enrolling in trade schools instead.

"People are starting to understand that maybe a traditional four-year degree does not always translate into a career," said Cheryl Oldham, vice president of education policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "There are great jobs that don't require that traditional path."

Many of those jobs are in manufacturing. They are skilled positions that require specialized training -- and not a bachelor's degree. Millions are opening around the country, and they're going unfilled.

Some 2.4 million manufacturing positions will remain vacant in the next decade, according to estimates by the Manufacturing Institute in Washington, D.C.

Faced with a shortage of skilled workers, companies and organizations like the chamber are going on the offensive. They're reaching out to young people, suggesting that they enroll in a trade school or apprenticeship program.

"It is very much a relevant conversation taking place across the country," Oldham said. "If we have people without jobs, and there are open jobs, we have to ask ourselves, 'What are we doing to help young people understand what the career opportunities are? And what are the skills they need?'"

This is especially true in areas like the rural Midwest, where many small economies are centered around manufacturing.

State data from one rural county in southern Indiana, for example, shows that about 20 percent of the jobs require a bachelor's degree. By contrast, about 65 percent ask for either a two year-degree or certificate. About 45 percent of the jobs in Perry County, Ind., are in advanced manufacturing.

"We show this data to our kids," said Jody French, the principal of Perry Central High School in Leopold, Ind. "We want to prepare them for a good quality of life and be successful."

Perry Central is one of a handful of U.S. high schools that have embraced vocational training as a central part of the curriculum. The school operates a student-run manufacturing company, and students are encouraged to spend a semester doing an internship with a local business.

"We do feel like we're really ahead of the curve," French said. "I'm really fortunate to work for a school system that thinks outside of the box and allows for these things to happen."

French began taking the school in this direction a few years ago, and it's having an impact on the students.

After two years of learning about all the well-paid manufacturing jobs in his community, Taylor James, a junior a Perry Central, abandoned his goal of attending Purdue University and plans to instead enroll in a local trade school to prepare for a career at Toyota.

"It was hard to get to that point," James said. "My mom and dad both went to Purdue. My grandpa went to Purdue. My parents met at Purdue. But I can make as much money doing this as someone with a four-year degree, and I'll have no debt."

James plans to attend the two-year Career Advancement Partnership program at Vincennes University in Jasper, Ind. The program partners with local companies, and the students spend two days a week working at those companies and three days in classes. In the end, James will earn an associate's degree -- and a job.

Companies like Toyota are investing in these kinds of programs in Indiana and other states where they have factories.

"With as many as 2.4 million jobs to fill in the next decade, we are looking at a number of innovative ways to recruit talented people to our team," Ashley Chatham, a spokeswoman for Toyota, said in an email.

Many of these efforts are just beginning. It represents a marked shift in public opinion. Vocational education and trade schools largely fell out of fashion in America in the early 1980s.

There were studies around that time that American students were academically behind students in other developed nations. The education system responded by transitioning high schools to be more academically focused. At the same time, students were encouraged to go to college.

"That led to a decline in interest in trade schools that lasted well into the 2000s," said Brian Jacob, a professor of education policy and economics at the University of Michigan.

But the rising cost of traditional four-year degrees, an increasing national aversion to student loan debt and the growing number of unfilled manufacturing jobs means that students and institutions are slowly adjusting their approach.

While trade schools are once again are in vogue, the impact of this push to enroll students is unclear. Current data on trade school enrollment is scant.

The U.S. Department of Education's Consolidated Annual Report shows a gradual decline in the number of students enrolled in state-sponsored Career and Technical Education programs. But data is available only through 2014, and it does not track all trade schools or training programs.

"One of the problems with getting accurate data is some trade schools are accredited post-secondary institutions, but not all of them are, so it's hard to track," said Martin Van Der Werf, the associate director of editorial and post-secondary policy at Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce. "Anecdotally, I think there's been a lot of interest in trade schools."

RENEWABLE AND ALTERNATIVE ENERGY - Miracle

There is a point in life to get up and do something than not as this stuff is real and so if you are acting not real it will rollover you. Sort of like being blind folded pretending nothing is around you when you are standing in the highway. Hope for the best are you expecting a miracle?

~~~~~RENEWABLE AND ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
Many energy sources are not only renewable, but are more efficient alternatives to a conventional approach. There are many forms of renewable energy. Most of these energies depend in one way or another on sunlight. Wind and hydroelectric power are the direct result of differential heating of the Earth's surface which leads to air moving (wind) and precipitation forming as the air is lifted. Solar energy is the direct conversion of sunlight using panels or collectors. Biomass energy is stored sunlight contained in plants. Other renewable energies that do not depend on sunlight are geothermal energy, which is a result of radioactive decay in the crust combined with the original heat of accreting the Earth, and tidal energy, which is a conversion of gravitational energy.

World's rich grew by $2.5B a day in 2018 as poor's wealth dropped

Oh the power of the poor pushing that consumer based pricing forcing businesses to lower their prices to match the poverty wages of the town or have them just stay home more often because they are cutting back their spending. You can make it but can we can't afford it so why have it? Low pay is low sales so low is low in a time for more education for the changing job skills in a time people live with no AC or heat because it cost too much. Walking without a car or driving a unsafe car with no bumpers. A mess! Like taking in your Tesla for a reprogramming of the OS only to have that worker not there yet he had a long walk to work and he's running late and slow because he's burned out from living with no AC in his apartment. Or the issue of trying to figure out how to hollow out the catalytic converters on the Tesla. You know it's true!

The point we all are heading for the low pay crash in a time we all should be brought up! States are raising the wages but face small towns that have nothing because they want nothing and so you can't have them dictate what you will have because you would have nothing like they have nothing! Small towns need to be brought up. Just because they like to suffer don't mean you have to suffer along with them. It's time to be brought up!

~~~~~World's rich grew by $2.5B a day in 2018 as poor's wealth dropped, Oxfam claims
The economic divide between the world's haves and have-nots widened last year, as the planet's billionaires saw their collective wealth increase by $2.5 billion a day while humanity's poorest half saw its wealth drop by 11 percent, a report published Monday by Oxfam showed.

Published a day before the start of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the "Public Good or Private Wealth" report by the anti-poverty NGO states that the number of billionaires has almost doubled since the 2008 financial crisis while the world's corporations and super rich are "undertaxed."

"Governments have been reducing both the top rate of personal income tax and the rate of corporate income tax over the long term," the report said, adding that if this were reversed, countries could afford "universal public services."

This growing wealth gap is hurting the fight against poverty while damaging nations' economies and stirring public unrest the world over, the report states.

Those worst hit by the growing disparity are women and children, the annual report found, stating that they have the highest need for services such as healthcare and education and the least access to financial services.

"The size of your bank account should not dictate how many years your children spend in school, oh how long you live - yet this is the reality in too many countries across the globe," Winnie Byanyim, executive director of Oxfam International, said in a media release. "While corporations and the super-rich enjoy low tax bills, millions of girls are denied a decent education and women are dying for lack of maternity care."

To combat the disparity, Oxfam is calling for the world's super rich to pay an additional 0.5 percent tax. The money raised could educate 262 million children and save some 3.3 million lives, the report said.

"People across the globe are angry and frustrated," Byanyim said. "Governments must now deliver real change by ensuring corporations and wealthy individuals pay their fair share of tax and investing this money in free healthcare and education that meets the needs of everyone - including women and girls whose needs are so often overlooked."

The World Economic Forum, also known as the Davos Forum, will be held from Jan. 22-25 when the world's leaders will convene to discuss some of the most pressing issues of the day.

Minority Privilege a orgy and a forward maxilla?

There is a so called thing still going around "minority privilege." Why is that? There is still all sorts of racism out in the backwoods. Deprived education more than rednecks have so in that is a point of having no social mobility along with what that brings. Like the actions that a town that has not been brought up yet. Women where not hanged in the 1950 like minorities where. And women where not seen with eyes of xenophobia, issues with segregated schools etc. 

Minority privilege is just a way to say it's a effort to bring people up that is still being brought down. We all are getting brought up better than how we where. It's just to the pointing of getting more education out so those days of it being unrecognized would go away! Like the days of the red scare. In these days it means Russians are scared of Putin. To be honest no one wants wars they all would rather have the two presidents fight it out in a ring! It's only a concern to them we just want our high speed internet! Why take those good things away being stupid looking at a corn field after that war. "War does not determine who is right - only who is left." - Bertrand Russell. It's better if we all win! 

Back in the 90's I tried to hook up with a lesbian lady I was in love with but her partner couldn't handle the jealousy. The point was to not take away but to add to making all better. It's good to have male companionship in a relationship like that. I fixed her car, offered protection emotional security etc. In the 90's ignorance was on the loose and homophobia ruled so she had a open mind that I was useful but it was her partner and that is ok being I was no unicorn hunter I was a helper! When they went out to dinner together it was just a matter of time when a "Redneck with a sloping forehead" would look at them with a stupid face! Her partner wanted to slap her chest at them! every time it happened. That didn't happen if I was with them. I gave protection. 
We all tried but it fried and that was ok we took the effort and it's better than not!

Give I don't remember gay people being slaves or as much in the 90's minority's got worse! Well do you ever hear about the Native American privilege? I never heard of it but I am sure that was going around sometime. It burned out and so will the minority privilege issue.

My point? Until everyone gets brought up minority privilege is there for a reason, it just a matter of looking at history!

We all need to be open in how we all relate! Put away that xenophobia or slap your chest when you see it! It's a time to move forward. I fell for a married Gypsy myself these days. But not that I am a perv, I thought about this if the whole human race shoulder to shoulder is only the size of Los Angeles out of the whole planet that has plenty room for all of us why not have a orgy? Why? I wondered if we all got together and had a orgy to connect as one everyone would get along better. Conecting, bonding, correcting, bringing up as a whole!

Oklahoma senate bill proposed to increase state minimum wage

As people should know minimum wages has not been raised for 10 years. Since July 24, 2009, the federal government has mandated a nationwide minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. And noted raising minimum wage from the past was not a disaster it brings us all up. It's like going to the Jetsons not the Flintstones! Also it helps to bring people up so they can afford to get a education to get up to level for the changing job skills coming!

~~~~~Today, No Degree Means No Job
“There are no jobs for high school graduates…” So, where do we go from here?
Skills Gap

Amid heated discussions of employee displacement due to automation and outsourcing, the fact that employers of traditionally low-skill jobs are now placing a premium on college degrees is getting overshadowed.

http://hungerreport.org/issues/raise-the-minimum-wage

In a world of low pay changing job skills!

In a world of low pay changing job skills! Getting a education when you are poor is like good credit you have to buy something and your broke. The minimum wage needs to go up small towns are falling, over they are too broke and cant fix their homes. Nature doesn't care otherwise! 

All of this is a bad sign for a bad labor force! If you can't take care of yourself then how are you to take care of the workplace? Getting new job skills when it's too far to walk there or other concerns because they live with no AC or heat because they can't afford to use it. How can they afford student loans and cost of their education?

Well the minimum wage needs to go up to cover the cost of higher job skills needed. Relating to job skill training with low pay not raising the wages, if you don't it would be like running a marathon holding your breath because you are broke! Raising the wages will make a foundation to cover the changes in the job skills as workers could afford to get job skills. Lost jobs over robots to people that make enough money to get new skills to move up to the new higher level. Not to live without cutting everything back letting your home fall over because you can't afford to fix it.

Sad but true living poor just sets themselves up for failure you shouldn't build your home on sand because wood rots and futures rule like nature bulldozing those houses only to have a bunch of beavers with banjos stumbling out, they have no job skills. The future doesn't care about your personal issues it's like hearing a bunch of hoopla outside your home only to go outside in the morning to find a dead beaver with a banjo in the street not knowing how it got there only a concern to them a whatever to everyone else! 

The point lets raise the wages to cover the changes because you don't want rednecks 
fixing robots when they can't even fix their own homes. We all need to be brought up!

~~~~~Technology, jobs, and the future of work
Automation, digital platforms, and other innovations are changing the fundamental nature of work. Understanding these shifts can help policy makers, business leaders, and workers move forward.

The world of work is in a state of flux, which is causing considerable anxiety—and with good reason. There is growing polarization of labor-market opportunities between high- and low-skill jobs, unemployment and underemployment especially among young people, stagnating incomes for a large proportion of households, and income inequality. Migration and its effects on jobs has become a sensitive political issue in many advanced economies. And from Mumbai to Manchester, public debate rages about the future of work and whether there will be enough jobs to gainfully employ everyone.

The development of automation enabled by technologies including robotics and artificial intelligence brings the promise of higher productivity (and with productivity, economic growth), increased efficiencies, safety, and convenience. But these technologies also raise difficult questions about the broader impact of automation on jobs, skills, wages, and the nature of work itself.

Many activities that workers carry out today have the potential to be automated. At the same time, job-matching sites such as LinkedIn and Monster are changing and expanding the way individuals look for work and companies identify and recruit talent. Independent workers are increasingly choosing to offer their services on digital platforms including Upwork, Uber, and Etsy and, in the process, challenging conventional ideas about how and where work is undertaken.

For policy makers, business leaders, and workers themselves, these shifts create considerable uncertainty, alongside the potential benefits. This briefing note aims to provide a fact base on the multiple trends and forces buffeting the world of work drawing on recent research by the McKinsey Global Institute and others.

The Myth of the Criminal Immigrant Fear Mongering

~~~~~The Trump administration’s first year of immigration policy has relied on claims that immigrants bring crime into America. President Trump’s latest target is sanctuary cities.

“Every day, sanctuary cities release illegal immigrants, drug dealers, traffickers, gang members back into our communities,” he said last week. “They’re safe havens for just some terrible people.”

As of 2017, according to Gallup polls, almost half of Americans agreed that immigrants make crime worse. But is it true that immigration drives crime? Many studies have shown that it does not.

Immigrant populations in the United States have been growing fast for decades now. Crime in the same period, however, has moved in the opposite direction, with the national rate of violent crime today well below what it was in 1980.

In a large-scale collaboration by four universities, led by Robert Adelman, a sociologist at the State University of New York at Buffalo, researchers compared immigration rates with crime rates for 200 metropolitan areas over the last several decades. The selected areas included huge urban hubs like New York and smaller manufacturing centers less than a hundredth that size, like Muncie, Ind., and were dispersed geographically across the country.

According to data from the study, a large majority of the areas have many more immigrants today than they did in 1980 and fewer violent crimes. The Marshall Project extended the study’s data up to 2016, showing that crime fell more often than it rose even as immigrant populations grew almost across the board.

In 136 metro areas, almost 70 percent of those studied, the immigrant population increased between 1980 and 2016 while crime stayed stable or fell. The number of areas where crime and immigration both increased was much lower — 54 areas, slightly more than a quarter of the total. The 10 places with the largest increases in immigrants all had lower levels of crime in 2016 than in 1980.

And yet the argument that immigrants bring crime into America has driven many of the policies enacted or proposed by the administration so far: restrictions to entry, travel and visas; heightened border enforcement; plans for a wall along the border with Mexico. This month, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against California in response to the state’s restrictions on local police to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants charged with crimes. On Tuesday, California’s Orange County signed on in support of that suit. But while the immigrant population in the county has more than doubled since 1980, overall violent crime has decreased by more than 50 percent.

There’s a similar pattern in two other places where Mr. Trump has recently feuded with local leaders: Oakland, Calif., and Lawrence, Mass. He described both cities as breeding grounds for drugs and crime brought by immigrants. But Oakland, like Orange County, has had increasing immigration and falling crime. In Lawrence, though murder and robbery rates grew, overall violent crime rates still fell by 10 percent.

In general, the study’s data suggests either that immigration has the effect of reducing average crime, or that there is simply no relationship between the two, and that the 54 areas in the study where both grew were instances of coincidence, not cause and effect. This was a consistent pattern in each decade from 1980 to 2016, with immigrant populations and crime failing to grow together.

In a majority of areas, the number of immigrants increased at least 57 percent and as much as 183 percent, with the greatest increases occurring in the 1990s and early 2000s. Violent crime rates in most areas ranged between a 43 percent decline and a 6 percent rise, often trending downward by the 2000s. Places with a sharp rise in the immigrant population experienced increases in crime rates no more frequently than those with modest or no growth in immigration. On average, the immigrant population grew by 137 percent between 1980 and 2016, with average crime falling 12 percent over the same period.

Because the F.B.I. changed how rape was defined in its crime figures, that category could not be included in this analysis. Focusing on the other components of the violent crime rate — assaults, robberies and murders — still fails to reveal a relationship with immigration rates.

Most areas experienced decreases in all types of violent crime. The change in assault rates ranged from a 34 percent decline to a 29 percent rise, while robbery rates declined in the range of 12 percent to 57 percent, and murder rates declined in the range of 15 percent to 54 percent.

This analysis is one of the most comprehensive longitudinal studies of the local immigrant-crime relationship. It spans decades of metropolitan area data, incorporating places with widely differing social, cultural and economic backgrounds, and a broad range of types of violent crime.

Areas were chosen to reflect a range of immigrant composition, from Wheeling, W.Va., where one in 100 people was born outside the United States, to Miami, where every second person was. Some areas were home to newly formed immigrant communities; other immigrant pockets went back generations. Controlling for population characteristics, unemployment rates and other socioeconomic conditions, the researchers still found that, on average, as immigration increases in American metropolises, crime decreases.

The foreign-born data, which is collected through the census, most likely undercounts the numbers of undocumented immigrants, many of whom might wish to avoid the risk of identifying themselves. They are, however, at least partly represented in the overall foreign-born population counts.

This is not the only study showing that immigration does not increase crime. A broad survey released in January examined years of research on the immigrant-crime connection, concluding that an overwhelming majority of studies found either no relationship between the two or a beneficial one, in which immigrant communities bring economic and cultural revitalization to the neighborhoods they join.

How the Trump Administration Is Remaking the Courts and Effect!

Well if you mess up a court system what will happen? 
Well a messed up court system takes care of itself!
If they do then the other wont so they don't and can't also!
Like the system being for the rich only to find they impoverished the 
labor force the poor till the rich can't find workers now because they
make nothing so they have nothing in a changing world with new job skills 
needed only for them to be too poor to use AC or heat with a home falling
apart around them because they can't afford to fix it because the banks 
underwriter said "Sorry your incomes too low!" As you don't see the rich or 
middle class people working at Walmart yet alone have people with job skills
to fix the robots that would be working at Walmart because the workers had
no social mobility and worked hard making the same pay retiring on 
minimum wage in a world of a dying middle class with no one to replace them
as the poor is poor with no way to go up! Because of tax cuts that the rich gave
to the stock investors because they make more money than a worker does with no
cost of having to pay for the workers benefits. The investors get the money and the
worker that does not make enough money to buy stocks gets nothing so being they 
make nothing they have nothing not helping the economy grow because they can't 
grow themselves bringing on the national debt that always happens with low taxes
as the poor cuts back all their spending forcing businesses owners to lower their prices
to match the poverty wages of the people making the businesses poor like they are.

It all brings up the point why have a Court system in the first place why bother?
Where gong to be too poor to use it anyway let it go!

~~~~~How the Trump Administration Is Remaking the Courts
In short, a radically new federal judiciary could be with us long after Trump is gone. Brian Fallon, a veteran Democratic operative who leads Demand Justice, a group formed to help Democrats with research and communications in the judicial wars, says, “We can win back the House this November, we can defeat Trump in 2020 and we’ll still be dealing with the lingering effects of Trumpism for the next 30 or 40 years because of the young Trump-appointed judges.”

Fly from Mexico to Canada then walk across the border to avoid the hoopla!

Well if it was me I would save up my money for a few years to get my visa 
then get airplane tickets to Canada (For my family vacation.) only to walk across 
the border over there just to avoid the paranoid people in Texas etc. 
Well Canada don't have walls!

Well it's the 21st century most are brought up and buy their airplane tickets online.
If not then I would go take a class at a vocational school to get a paper there for
a better job to afford a airplane ticket. Well really make it happen is what I would do!
It's not that hard in the least so a wall is just a stupid thing!

That wall just doesn't make sense. Drug dealers always have thrown drugs out of
air planes from Mexico that is how they do it! Just go to your local dispensary!
Mexico has them also DUR!

"The Mexican Ministry of Health will oversee the country’s medical marijuana 
program. Mexico began issuing medical marijuana identification cards in 2015."

Doug E Fresh and the Rubber Ducky

Back in the 90's when I worked at the Marriott as a banquet sever I was working
a banquet that had a DJ. He was setting up and was playing a song from Doug E Fresh.
And in the back hall there was a long mirror to fix our tux before we went out.
Well I wet my hair down a bit and was doing the dougie in the mirror when
my boss came in the back hall and saw me. He called me Doug E Fresh and that
was my nickname soon after.

Later I ended up dating a hairdresser. She barfed on the first date. She smoked weed and liked to go at gay bars being she had a hard life she was abused by a biker gang lady that had a death threat on her from testifying in court about them. The bar was her safe zone! Dating her I told her my nickname was Doug E Fresh. Well she got around to introducing me to her drunk friends at the time we walked up to them stopped and she said this is my "lover dougie" one of her drunk friends looked at me and said "Rubber Ducky?" So came another nickname "Rubber Ducky" And so I hope I am to people!

Mexicans help create, not take jobs away - Everyone wants their Taco

As a point to not be fear mongered by Trumps BS look at the facts! As I say we all need to work together to make affordable electric cars. We all need to be brought up. More social mobility, less people walking without cars. Get those people educated so they don't cut off their legs to save their toe expecting you to do the same! True and to be fear mongered is disabling yourself and that helps no one!

Like the days of the red scare and a point to be brought up away from those days of xenophobia as in life we all grow up. We go through Middle School then through High School on, you don't go back to Middle School after High School!
https://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/red-scare

These immigrants are wanting to take care of their family like a rich guy that puts a fence around his property. With out a Keep Out sign in front with something to hide type fence! But you get the point No man is a island. We all are not islands! Many places can't find the workers we need them here! 

Something I would say to troubled workers at the Hotel I worked at when I was consoling them was "Everyone wants their Taco and they don't care how they get it, make it happen!"

~~~~~Mexicans help create, not take jobs away from Texans, SMU study says.
Far from taking jobs away from Texans, Mexicans are helping create additional employment opportunities, providing valuable labor for a growing economy and helping the deepening integration with Mexico, according to the Texas-Mexico Center at Southern Methodist University.

The findings of the first research study by the center come as the Trump administration cracks down on unauthorized immigrants, referring to them as criminals and calling for a wall between both countries. The center's study called for "freer migration" across the border and fewer barriers to international crossings, touting Texas as an example of cooperation with Mexico.

Juan Gonzalez (center) is CEO and chairman of GRUMA. Matthew Meyers (left) is dean of the Cox School of Business, and Tom Di Piero, dean at Dedman College of Humanities and Science.
(SMU)
The nonpartisan Texas-Mexico Center was created in 2017 with a $4 million donation from Monterrey, Mexico-based GRUMA and its Dallas-based subsidiary, Mission Foods, with the goal of highlighting the deepening economic and cultural integration underway between Texas and Mexico. As many as 1 million jobs in Texas are attributed to trade with Mexico.  GRUMA alone generates about 1,000 direct jobs and more than 4,500 indirect jobs in the north region.

"We know Texas leads the way in strengthening collaboration between neighbors," Juan Gonzalez Moreno, chairman and CEO of GRUMA, said in a statement. "And through this center, we reaffirm our belief that working together we will continue to elevate and strengthen the Texas-Mexico-United States relationship. This research will create better work and business opportunities on both sides of the border."

The study  relied on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and its Mexican counterpart, known as INEGI. The study, with contributions by the Bush School of Government at Texas A&M University, the Federal Reserve Board of Dallas and Colegio de Mexico in Mexico City, stressed the importance of labor from Mexico, which is in decline in many parts of the United States.

Underscoring the trends is the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. The trade accord led to a dramatic economic transformation that fueled a shift in goods, products and movement of people, factors that over the years have impacted cities and regions. For instance, supply chains and cultural integration deepened in cities such as Dallas as Mexico-based companies moved into North Texas along with their products — from tortillas to pasta to  Topo Chico —  and, of course, more workers.

"I would argue the border always had deep integration simply because of geography and that places like El Paso and Juarez grew up together and like cousins, bound by their shared history, family and economic journey," said Luisa M. del Rosal, executive director of the SMU Tower Center and Mission Foods Texas-Mexico Center, as the center is formally known. "NAFTA made the relationship grow beyond the border and allowed other cities to enjoy the fruits of a close familial relationship. ... In Dallas, it went beyond economics. It was cultural because the people and products were now here, beyond the border, and NAFTA enhanced that at the border and made it possible in North Texas."

The report's rosy outlook is a thorn on the side of the President Donald Trump's administration. Last week, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited the border and compared immigrants to criminals.  Sessions decried illegal migration and insisted that legality must come before anything, playing down the need for more workers during a booming economy.

"Under President Trump, we've seen wages increase at the fastest pace in a decade," said Sessions. "And we can already hear the open borders crowd — and certain sectors of the business lobby — starting to complain.  But we absolutely must not flood the labor market with foreign workers — legal or illegal — in order to bring wages down. Our citizens want our government to think about them for a change.  They have dreams, too."

Among the study's findings:

— Trade with Mexico does not hinder interstate trading in the U.S. States are still more likely to trade among themselves than across the border with Mexico, which shows the border trade relationship supports both national and international trade.

— Because of the integration across value chains, there is clear evidence that Mexican and U.S. workers are complements for each other rather than substitutes.

— Revisions of NAFTA need to maintain cross-border integration.

— Freer migration reduced Mexico´s wage inequality.

Texas A&M University's Raymond Robertson said the post-NAFTA era presents new economic opportunities complemented by a labor market across borders.

"While Mexican and American workers competed for the same jobs during the 1987-94 period, since NAFTA this has changed," he said. "Now both groups complement each other and act as a single production unit."

Einstein on The Relativity of Love - The Glue That Holds the World Together

Because love is like emotional glue keeping all together. In that is better than not!
But really there is glue that holds the world together and so without boundaries!
Love is like glue it is relevant and meaningful when you look at it!

Einstein said - "When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love."

"You do not know what stuff is, you who hold it in your hands. Atoms? Yes, stuff is made of atoms. And every atom is a nucleus orbited by electrons. Every nucleus is built of protons. Every proton is - but there you reach the end of the line. Inside the proton lies the deep, unsettling truth: Stuff is made of nothing, or almost nothing, held together by glue, lots of glue. Physicists first began to suspect this in 1973. Lately it has been proved by experiment."

~~~~~Einstein on The Relativity of Love
In the late 1980s, Lieserl, the daughter of the famous genius, donated 1,400 letters, written by Einstein, to the Hebrew University, with orders not to publish their contents until two decades after his death.

Or at least that was the story. For a long time, this letter circulated as one of them. When I read it, the words rang so true. But when you read these things long after someone is gone, you also have to wonder how true they are….”Gandhi said this, Lincoln said that….” How do we know?

I wish Einstein had written these words. They are so true. Love is a rocket fuel.

“When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.

Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.

When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer!”

Your father,
Albert Einstein

~~~~~The Glue That Holds the World Together
As physics evolves, the image of the proton that quantum chromodynamics has given us may come to seem reassuringly concrete and solid—although solid is just what a proton is not. Flying into one—if you can imagine doing that, riding the strong force in a kind of subnuclear glider—would be like falling through Earth's atmosphere. The upper atmosphere of the proton is a thin cirrus of virtual quark-antiquark pairs; they form a shield for what lies below. As you fall past them, the atmosphere gets denser and denser, the clouds thicker and thicker. Your plane is struck with increasing frequency and force by flashes of color lightning—the gluons. And then, perhaps four fifths of the way through your descent, you emerge from the cloud cover. The ride is calmer now. The lightning bolts have not disappeared; they have fused to a continuous sheet, and somehow you feel at once featherlight and immune from all forces. You're near the center of the proton now, utterly trapped as you fall toward the asymptote of utter freedom, and you are finding . . . not much.

"The closer you look, the more you find the proton is dissolving into lots of particles, each of which is carrying very, very little energy," says Wilczek. "And the elements of reality that triggered the whole thing, the quarks, are these tiny little things in the middle of the cloud. In fact, if you follow the evolution to infinitely short distances, the triggering charge goes to zero. If you really study the equations, it gets almost mystical."

Skylab and NASA Pioneer In My Family.

Such in life no one does it but you! Anything of value takes effort.

In my family we have a NASA pioneer that worked on cabin pressure for 

APOLLO-1. They had a accident but this was a first of it's kind.

It effected my relative with what happened but he accepted this was a

first of it's kind. There was to many things going on at once with many 

changes. This was never done before and in a mess a mess would happen!

~~~~~Aviation had suggested using an oxygen/nitrogen mixture for Apollo, but NASA overruled this. The pure oxygen design was judged to be safer, less complicated, and lighter in weight. In his monograph Project Apollo: The Tough Decisions, Deputy Administrator Seamans wrote that NASA's worst mistake in engineering judgment was not to run a fire test on the command module before the plugs-out test.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1#Choice_of_pure_oxygen_atmosphere

But the point of this story is the point to be a pioneer a first of a kind.

You don't have to go to NASA and do it just find it and do it.

You will have mistakes and so you don't quit you learn from them and go on!

NASA and everyone did not quit just because of the APOLLO-1 accident

and we ended up on the moon!

~~~~~“To me, it's an emotional thing,” said Bill Barry, NASA's chief historian, who was 9 years old when the fire occurred. “Because space is risky and dangerous and it's hard to do and can be expensive. But ultimately, you want to do it in a way that you don't hurt anybody, and everybody comes home alive. This is a reminder that you have to be on your toes, and make sure that happens.”

In the aftermath of Apollo 1, NASA did make space flight safer, and in 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon with Apollo 11.

“We found the problems,” said Bob Sieck, a former NASA launch director. “We fixed them. And as a result, the first time we attempted to put astronauts on the moon, and get them back safely, we did. And so, from my perspective, I think that the Apollo 1 crew would be good with that.”

~~~~~Skylab was a United States space station launched and operated by NASA, and occupied for about 24 weeks between May 1973 and February 1974 – the only space station the U.S. has operated exclusively. In 1979 it fell back to Earth amid huge worldwide media attention. Skylab included a workshop, a solar observatory, and other systems necessary for crew survival and scientific experiments. It was launched unmanned by a modified Saturn V rocket, with a weight of 170,000 pounds (77,000 kg). Lifting Skylab into low earth orbit was the final mission and launch of a Saturn V rocket (famous for carrying the manned Moon landing missions). Three missions delivered three-astronaut crews in the Apollo command and service module (Apollo CSM), launched by the smaller Saturn IB rocket. For the final two manned missions to Skylab, a backup Apollo CSM/Saturn IB was assembled and made ready in case an in-orbit rescue mission was needed, but this backup vehicle was never flown.

The station was damaged during launch when the micrometeoroid shield tore away from the workshop, taking one of the main solar panel arrays with it and jamming the other main array. This deprived Skylab of most of its electrical power, and also removed protection from intense solar heating, threatening to make it unusable. The first crew was able to save Skylab by deploying a replacement heat shade and freeing the jammed solar panels. This was the first time a repair of this magnitude had been performed in space.

A first time a repair of this magnitude had been performed in space!

The association's legislative agenda for Year 2 of a 3-year campaign in Oklahoma.

There is a need to get the schools brought up to meet the coming job skills needed.
More funding for schools makes more resources for learning giving more to learn.
Making better social mobility than not. Less trailer park candidates?
Well education is like water that covers the iceberg the less you have the more
the iceberg pops up and the harm it does. My college instructor said that but wanted
to relate it to water covering poop but poop floats, but you should get the point.
Less education exposes the poop in life!
http://walmartramen.blogspot.com/2016/02/privatize-education-vs-trailer-park.html

Higher education is needed and so cost money. Teachers pay is the same as having
resources for learning! If there is no foundation for learning then there is none!

Job skills are changing and so the need to keep up with the changes!
Also keeping up with the issues of Trump economy (It's his!)
"Economists see the Trump economy slowing drastically next year before a
possible recession in 2020." So now is the time for action to get above it
for some kind of cushion from it! This is real relating to issues a heap of
low taxes, low social mobility, low growth as they have no choice as
all of the low around them. I do see see it as the wages are not getting up
to inflation, Too many children waged adults out there!

But in Oklahoma the plan is brought up to bring the kids up. It's pressing the clock is ticking!

~~~~~Teachers' union seeks bulk of new revenue for schools
Oklahoma's largest teachers union is seeking $400 million in new annual spending for educator salaries and classroom funding, believing the state will have plenty of additional money next year to meet the request.

"Oklahoma is on sound financial ground and our plan is certainly feasible," said Alicia Priest, president of the Oklahoma Education Association, which helped lead a two-week teacher walkout in April.

On Wednesday, the Board of Equalization certified an estimated $612 million in new funding for the upcoming budget year.

Hours later, the Oklahoma Education Association said it wanted most of the new funding for a $3,000 teacher pay raise, a $2,500 support professional pay raise, an 8 percent cost-of-living adjustment for retired teachers, and $150 million in new classroom funding.

While Priest said the Legislature would have a budget surplus large enough to fund the union's requests, there will be several state agencies clamoring for a piece of the funding pie, including other education interests.

"We've got to make sure that we not only fund education appropriately but also .... career techs and higher education," said Gov.-elect Kevin Stitt, who has vowed to make teacher salaries the highest in the six-state region, which would require an additional $52 million in annual spending.

The state Department of Education has requested an additional $440 million that doesn't include a pay raise.

Prior to April's walkout, the state Legislature gave teachers a $6,100 pay raise.

Another $50 million in additional school funding was also approved by lawmakers this year, but more is needed, according to the Oklahoma Education Association, which has about 20,000 members.

"It is important for us to remind our elected officials of the promises they made and the needs of students and teachers moving forward," said Shari Gateley, an OEA member and English teacher at Putnam City West High School.

Legislative leaders have said an increase in education funding is likely next year, but specific amounts have not been offered.

When asked if teachers would hold another walkout if lawmakers failed to meet the union's request, Priest said teachers "are aggressively working with our legislators to make sure that doesn't happen."

To fund this year's teacher pay raise, the Legislature passed a series of tax increases on cigarettes, motor fuel and oil and gas production.

The Oklahoma Education Association's funding request does not include a proposal for how to pay for it.

"It's the Legislature's responsibility to make sure the revenue is there, so we will leave that up to the legislators," Priest said.

More than 600,000 foreigners overstayed U.S. visas in 2017 Airplanes!

 

From all over and across the ocean they came because maybe they couldn't swim so they walked across the ocean. No they flew on a plane here or took a Jeep! Walls don't work!

"Homeland Security: More than 600,000 foreigners overstayed U.S. visas in 2017."
Trump there will be no wall to many people fly over it everyday!
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/08/07/dhs-foreigners-overstayed-visas-2017/924316002

Building a wall so stop drugs? Drugs come over on planes from the beginning of time.
Look at South Florida from the past. In fact by desperation drugs from Mexico ends up
in Canada only to work it's way to America. Build a wall in Canada! No, those drugs
more likely flew in a plane to Canada!

"New Times Investigation: Drug Traffickers Are Buying Up Planes in South Florida."
Drugs fly in planes! https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/drug-traffickers-buying-up-planes-in-south-florida-new-times-investigation-finds-10249767

So really shutting down the government for a wall people fly over getting here is stupid! 40% of people in Mexico fly here. Build the wall will just force people to just do it, fly! Will it bring it up to 75%? It could, will Mexico lower the cost of airplane tickets to $25 a ticket? It would be funny! To see the circular flow of Mexicans flying in to work
here then fly home!

That wall is just a sign of racism. We are not going backward not in a war time.
There is that time to be brought up sometime! It's a time to work together to
make affordable electric cars! Not a time for xenophobia!

Qubits that never interact could exhibit past-future entanglement - Some things are meant to be!

Such as in life if two Qubits bump into each other that makes a quantum entanglement. Mucho gusto! Some things are meant to be! One and the same entanglement one way or another it happens!

~~~~~Qubits that never interact could exhibit past-future entanglement.
Typically, for two particles to become entangled, they must first physically interact. Then when the particles are physically separated and still share the same quantum state, they are considered to be entangled. But in a new study, physicists have investigated a new twist on entanglement in which two qubits become entangled with each other even though they never physically interact.

The physicists, Carlos Sabín, Borja Peropadre, Marco del Rey, and Eduardo Martín-Martínez at the Institute of Fundamental Physics at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid (Sabín is now at the University of Nottingham in the UK, and Martin-Martinez is now at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada), have published a paper on this new kind of entanglement in a recent issue of Physical Review Letters.
