The ones that can go to college come out drowning in student loan debt, and then can't find good jobs because they've all been outsourced.

It's more the fact that many US college degrees are worthless, and don't qualify you for any actual job.

Mathematics degrees, engineering degrees, and anything in the health sector are still in demand. Liberal arts degrees, English literature, and political science are not.

the scary thing is, the oppressed can be even worse oppressors, when given the chance.

Joseph Stalin taught us that.

What WOULD they rename Washington state? For that matter what would they rename Washington DC?

Well, Washington State was originally British. Perhaps Canada could incorporate it is part of British Columbia.

STEM jobs have mostly gone to India, and manufacturing to China. What is left for the average American isn't much. It's a sad day when many Americans make more on unemployment than they do employed, no?

Some of them. The low-quality end of computer science degrees also fall into the "worthless" basket.

and manufacturing to China

That is indeed a problem.

One of the many reasons why it is so difficult to bring manufacturing back to the US is the shortage of qualified engineers.

And all of that traces to corporate decisions made by American companies to increase profits.

Well, no.

German companies made corporate decisions to increase profits by retaining manufacturing in Germany.

The differences between the USA and Germany explain the differences in corporate decisions.

Interesting! Can you expand on that?

Sure, with the help of the US government being complicit with H-1B Visa misuse and loopholes

That would still be a problem, as British Columbia is named for Christopher Columbus. The British and Americans jointly administered British Columbia/Oregon territory prior to its partition. They could rename both Cascadia, if inclined I suppose.

What WOULD they rename Washington state? For that matter what would they rename Washington DC?
The problem is deeper as Washington, District of Columbia, is doubly offensive.

Some manufacturing....the other big obstacle is that our workers have rights.

But then you have the Columbus problem. Columbus is on the outs. His face has been smashed into the dirt in Minnesota. So the Canadians have to make changes to the name of BC. And Columbus Ohio and so many other towns.

Hey, America is named after Amerigo Vespucci. That's gotta go. And Amerigo named the Pacific ocean, so that's intolerable too. And all of the names of the missions of California were the fault of Fr. Junipero Serra. Los Angeles and San Bernadino and San Francisco gotta be changed. Throw everything down the memory hole. Oh, wasn't Jefferson a Democrat?

Now, Washington State is gonna have a problem if George starts being painted as an evil slaveowner. Let's be reasonable here, folks.
No problem they will just adjust the name like they did King County, which became ML King county so washington will just become the state of Geo Washington Carver

History being wiped away.
They will forget their past
and wish to shut the door on it.

Our History is stealing land from the Indians, raping and killing Indians. Owning slaves, beating them and raping them. Hanging Black people , because they're black. Cops beating and killing black people. Why would they want any history left. BTW, I prefer no protesting or riots.
