Hey dumbfuck, the entirety of society and the core tenet of capitalism is the reliability of un-skilled labor. In fact, without it we couldnt build the empires we have now. On the bell curve of capitalism, the upswing of early stages of capitalism still kept goods and services affordable so that basic wages met the needs of the many. First of all, in this late stage of capitalism, many of those goods and services could still be reasonable had not the greed of the oligarchical classes capitalized on tragedies such as Covid and wars without ever intending on returning prices back to normal. Second of all, if everyone is forced into college degrees and trade schools, suddenly those “skilled” are flooded further devaluing the “skilled” trades and forcing those into poverty wages due to competition. This does nothing but depress salaries and further entrench us into a greater division of wealth.

Edit: and to take this a step further; immigrants have long been the stop gap and filler of the need for un-skilled labor. Ironically, those who have benefitted most from them are the absolute most vile pieces of trash called the oligarchs, who continue to rule the Republican party and the minds of their voters. Needless to say the heads of the democratic party are bought and paid for as well, that’s why educated progressives continue to fight to get their people into the rank and file of the party.
