Good sentiment. I'm all for lifelong learning. But decades of programs and research make it clear. Training/ed does not solve issue at all.https://twitter.com/RichardHaass/status/845993439300898817 …

Solid finding: adult ed/training does not result in better wages or jobs at scale. Issue is lack of jobs to feasibly train for as an adult.

By all means, let's encourage lifelong learning. Many benefits. For few, it may lead to better jobs. It just doesn't work for jobs at scale.

I mean, it's gotten to the point that companies are sitting in hundreds and hundreds of billions sitting in offshore accounts, idle. No use.

Idle? I assume the banks that cash sits in are loaning it to people and businesses that are putting it to use. Just not in US.
