> President Biden’s recent infrastructure bill magnifies the issue – money has been allocated for updating America’s infrastructure, but no money has been allocated for enticing new workers into the construction industry, or training new workers.

America only thinks in terms of subsidizing the wealthy. The industry should be paying to train people to get into the industry, and government should be assisting and coordinating private businesses, not providing for them.
