We need to create lots of jobs in other industries that allow living wages without a college degree.

The government should massively incentivize:

- solar farms

- wind turbines

- battery storage deployments

- residential solar w/ batteries and grid-down operation (most grid-tied virtual battery solar stops working completely in a power outage)

- achieve fusion power net output

- elderly and disabled caregivers

- offer an option to teach and mentor people the fundamentals of running a successful small business (expanding SBA/SCORE)

- give people a chance to showcase, see and try out different industries

- setup a factory incubator to allow bootstrapping and designing efficient, streamlined operations for quality products made in the US at globally-competitive prices.

Investing in people and infrastructure brings lots of indirect returns. Do everything possible to help people to succeed and have a future.
