The reason you can't find a machinist is likely because they're in demand. While lower end production has largely left the country precision manufacturing is doing quite well. Companies right now can't get enough local talent. The work is increasingly most sophisticated as well, that engineering degree is a prerequisite for many jobs.

about the demand for Machinists.Unless there has been a 360 in the last year
or so it is quite the opposite of your post.

Not only is it not yet invented, but never will be , because there will always be people who are ambitious, like hard work and all the satisfaction and self worth it brings and there will always be lazy slackerds. Human nature will never change.
Capitalism is as close to being fair as possible because you are rewarded on the basis of what sacrifices and hard work you are willing to make and do.
Socialism is unfair because slackerds benefit from the hard work of others.

Wait, I'm wrong and if I want to find out go ask someone else?
It might not be perfect for everyone everywhere, but overall demand is certainly up. The challenge many companies have is finding the right skills in the right location.

he doesn't care about the facts, he just likes to bloviate.....
had to include this definition from the Urban Dictionary because it freakin' hilaroious and perfect
bloviate
To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner.
A key attribute to those that sell. To pretend to understand technical subject matter and sell it to others even dumber then oneself.
the problem is a lack of those "even dumber then oneself" for him to sell to

I don't hae time to get into it more, but I feel that we are at the peak of sustainable capitalism. Houses are expensive, food is expensive.. Everything is.. All due to the falling value of the dollar.
Am I for this idealistically? No... But realistically, the average American working an average job has been priced out of the American dream. This can help so many. And who's to say that the money they save won't be spent on other goods and boost the economy somehow.

What is the alternative? And where has the alternative ever worked?
Why is the money deflated?
I'm actually in favor of universal healthcare but WE CAN'T AFFORD IT.
