      "Learn to code" is a fucking disgusting message to give to the unemployed. It is also a product of the profound class bias of the Democrats towards the college educated.https://twitter.com/CurtisHouck/status/1324896645297954816 …

      On ABC, Rahm Emanuel literally says a Biden White House should tell people laid off from retail stores like JC Penney to learn to code. He actually said this. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/xlSnVi7445

      FYI you dont have to go to college to learn to code or get certification. I speak from experience.

      The class bias is from people who are good at schooling and think other people need more of it.

          help me understand how "learn to code" is different than "learn to fix cars" or "learn to be a plumber" or "learn to [insert trade skill here]". software is eating the world. for example, their previous employer uses software written by other people.

          Programmer here. I think anyone can learn to do basic coding, but higher education is required for doing so at scale with efficiency. Without the extra knowledge you'll get programs with crashes, data loss, and slow response times.

          He literally is saying the government should offer free career education for those that lost retail jobs. You are seeing something in this that you completely made up.

          The issue is that we live in a world dominated by sound bytes. Imagine the right wing media snagging that one and putting it out there (likely already in the works). It drives home their message that Democrats disdain middle America and blue collar workers.

          Remember that time when the Democrats went with "better skills" as a slogan? https://newrepublic.com/article/144019/central-contradiction-democrats-better-deal …

          At some point you have to learn to do SOMETHING that someone is willing to pay for. Most of the time, that skill set is acquired through education.
