A kid on my childhood street and Trump

[CapnAwesome]

Why is it that some people feel like it's an intellectual strength to not read conservative news. I read Breitbart, I also read the Huffington Post. It's called having a diverse and well informed opinion.

Because, dumbass, there is only one reality and citing Breitbart bullshit makes you less credible.

Trump’s infrastructure splurge would collide with US skilled labor crunch

Earlier this year, the National Association of Home Builders estimated there were around 200,000 unfilled construction jobs in the United States, an 81 percent increase in the last two years.
Infrastructure projects need highly trained workers, such as heavy equipment operators and iron specialists. But as a result of the 2007-2008 recession, which caused an estimated 25 percent of construction jobs to vanish, their ranks have thinned. (Graphic: http://tmsnrt.rs/2h9paJX)
Many of these workers went back to school, joined the military or got lower-paying jobs in retail, services and other sectors. Some just got too old for the rigors of construction.
“They wandered off into other careers,” said Leonard Toenjes, president of Associated General Contractors of Missouri, which represents contractors in the state.

Harry Holzer, professor of public policy at Georgetown University, said fixing roads and bridges would boost U.S. productivity and, depending on how it is structured, generate good-paying jobs for those without college educations.

Given shortages of high-skilled construction labor, he said government ought to ramp up the projects carefully to allow time to train a new generation of skilled workers. “I’m not sure anyone has thought that through,” he said.

Certainly not a fucktard like Drumpf.

Citing is not the same as reading. I'm just saying people should read as much as they can from lots of different perspectives. Telling people to not listen to people of a certain opinion makes your own look weak, like you are afraid Brietbart will convince people. Besides if something like the the raw story talks about Brietbart, I want to read the article that they are talking about, to make sure I'm not being fed a pile of horseshit.
