When I started as a teacher thirty years ago, the process of stripping out "shop class" (aka "the industrial arts") began in our schools. It was a process of feminizing the schools, but we need to bring that back. I had many boys (and a few girls) express a great interest in learning how to use tools, and even if that doesn't become your livelihood, it's a good life skill to have.
Want to lift poor kids of all colors out of poverty? Shop class in high school, followed by technical school (all expenses paid) and a paid apprenticeship as a plumber, carpenter, electrician, welder, auto mechanic, etc. They'll earn a decent wage and have a meaningful life BUILDING things. My dad was in construction all his life and he used to drive us past a building and point to and say "See that? I helped build that!" Things my dad built 50 years ago are still standing to this day, and may stand for 50-100 years longer.
I don't care what color or gender my plumber is, I only care that the person knows their stuff and can do good work at a fair price.

[Harvey has challenged Butch to fight for control of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang]
Harvey Logan : Guns or knives?
Butch Cassidy : Neither?
Harvey Logan : Pick!
Butch Cassidy : I don't want to shoot with you, Harvey.
Harvey Logan : [draws a big knife] Anything you say, Butch.
[Butch walks over to Sundance]
Butch Cassidy : [in a low voice] Maybe there's a way to make a profit in this. Bet on Logan.
Sundance Kid : I would, but who'd bet on you?
Harvey Logan : Sundance, when we're done and he's dead, you're welcome to stay.
Butch Cassidy : [low voice, to Sundance] Listen, I don't mean to be a sore loser, but when it's done, if I'm dead, kill him.
Sundance Kid : [low voice to Butch] Love to.
[waves to Harvey and smiles]
Butch Cassidy : No, no, not yet. Not until me and Harvey get the rules straightened out.
Harvey Logan : Rules? In a knife fight? No rules!
[Butch immediately kicks Harvey in the groin]
Butch Cassidy : Well, if there aint' going to be any rules, let's get the fight started. Someone count. 1,2,3 go.
Sundance Kid : [quickly] 1,2,3, go!
[Butch knocks Harvey out]
Flat Nose Curry : I was really rooting for you, Butch.
Butch Cassidy : Well, thank you, Flatnose. That's what sustained me in my time of trouble.

China's rise has been aided and abetted by the American and European ruling classes, aka "the elite".
Here's how to put China in a corner:
1. Bring manufacturing jobs back home. Repatriation of these jobs will take years but it can be done. America needs to have a manufacturing base as part of our national security and for the well-being of our people.
2. Remind the other Asian nations that they all hate the Chinese, and with good reason: the Chinese have always exploited and oppressed them whenever and wherever they could. If China has to constantly feud and fight with nations in its backyard, it'll keep it from mischief elsewhere.
3. Stop threatening China militarily. We can't carry out a credible threat without destroying ourselves in the process, so stop wasting resources doing this. The Chinese, like Americans, are very nationalistic and threatening China only strengthens Xi.
4. Bide our time. Due to its One Child policy, the Chinese are facing a demographic crisis, with not only a declining population but a rapidly aging one. The US is open to immigration and immigrants are younger people of child-bearing age; the Chinese cannot and will not allow mass immigration. Time is on our side if we play it smart.
People talk as if China has already won this game. No, the game's not over yet, but we need to be smarter about it, and we need to stop listening to our traitorous ruling class, who will sell out America to fatten their own wallets. We need patriots leading our nation who will put America first.

I live in a small town in Kansas, population about 2500.
There's a new housing development in our town, 120 houses in all.
I inquired and to qualify to "buy" the house, you have to be an undocumented migrant (it's basically free and property taxes and maintenance are paid for first five years).
We already have 400-500 Spanish-speaking illegals here, put up at taxpayer expense in the town's three hotels (which used to be for truckers passing through and hunters in season).
If an illegal family of 6 occupies each of the 120 houses, that's 720. Assuming the illegals in the hotels move into the houses, 22% of our town will be "undocumented migrants" by this time next year.
Oh, by the way, our property taxes are going up to pay for the infrastructure for the new development.
We had a literal zero crime rate before the illegals were sent here. Now we have lots of property crime, still not much violent crime. Local cops are totally inadequate to the task. They took the job expecting Mayberry and instead are getting actual crime.
We're being colonized, folks, and the illegals are putting down deep roots.
