Up to a point, you make some sense, but you cannot paint the entire USA with such a broad brush. Skills are learned, not instinctive. We do have the skills. Maybe not in your particular area, but we have many talented folks here in the US. They just didn't happen to apply to the place you are ranting about. Yes, there are a lot who will not pass background checks. But, are employers being fair in rejecting people just on a past mistake or two? I'm sure we all have done things in the past that might have looked bad on a background check IF WE HAD GOTTEN CAUGHT!!! Many of the trades are no longer viable for making a lifelong career choice.

Or a mixer, a blender, or a waffle iron? Yes, it is hard to hire good help. Because they generally already have good jobs that pay well. They also migrate to where there is work enough to support them.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
