We need classes in school that teach the basics of being an adult that many people don't get from their parents. Sewing a pillow with a sewing machine was a waste of time for me. I needed to know how to mend tears in clothes by hand. I would be much better served by being taught how to shop for nutritional food on a budget and cook very simple things than making a fancy meal once. They should have taught me how to do taxes and register and insure a vehicle. Caulking and painting a home, basic plumbing and electrical repairs. etc. That would have gone so much farther than the stuff they wasted our time with. Why did they spend 4 years teaching me how to draft in a DOSS program that I would never touch. Even math past geometry was a complete waste of time for the students that didn't become engineers. It's a wildly impractical order of priorities.

For some reason I have been seeing the subject of librarians coming up a lot recently. That includes a book I am currently that had the following passage:
If I’d wanted to be a librarian, I’d have been a librarian. I’d have gone to library school, taken library exams, and saved up enough library stamps to buy a library uniform. Whatever they do, I’d have done it: by the book. And of all the librarians in the near vicinity, I’d have been far and away the librarianest; the kind of librarian other librarians sing songs about, gathered around their library fires.

A pleasant enough looking fellow, Mr Offerman's never crossed my mind to run for any public office, let alone president (See already how The Apprentice comes wriggling in) Whatever Civil War is to be fought out soon in America will not be mostly boots on the ground, mano et mano combat between American Blues & Reds, but CRT to CRT (sorry for the old-fashioned lingo) between media & corporate offices spread across worldwide platforms. You're right though to think that most deaths & casualties will be counted in the US, and the NW hemisphere --- apparently it's inevitable.

Having grown up on a farm, Nick Offerman is absolutely right about the importance of agriculture, wood working, and home ec. We can have all of the tech in the world, but without chairs, tables, and food, we would not be very productive. Past government legislature is what got us to these huge industrial complex farms that have ravaged our resources and destroyed small family farms. It's sad, but it's the bed in which they must lie, and it's up to us to make a change at the booth to find the people willing to take on those not so TV worthy debates.

Intellectually hilarious dude! Funny stuff Nick. My first job was at Kmart. The entire perimeter of the walls up at the upper level is 2 way mirrors and a catwalk for 2 shoplifting store 'detectives' to look for shoplifting suspects. Working there about a year, it was a weekly occurrence to have some wrestling match of those 'store police' putting someone in handcuffs after a scuffle, waiting for police to take them away. Guns weren't in the equation. Nobody Gen Z would recognize that recession America.

Nick Offerman makes an extremely IMPORTANT POINT: Regular skills we use with our hands (that almost always requires reading/math, etc) like cooking or building or fixing is no longer being taught in schools and hasn't been for quite some time now. I was shocked to learn my grandson couldn't even read cursive handwriting on the birthday card I gave him. Complained it looked like a foreign language. Explains why the kids coming into adulthood now don't have much of a clue at all. Shame on us all.

We here in Texas are the problem, Nick. Not all of us. But you point out the necessity of MAKING THINGS. Get a look at Texas A&M trying to bring back their Bonfire, a subliminal ode to the CONfedeRacy chant The South Shall Rise Again to Lynch different colors of skin tones. Do you see how much wood is in TEN STORIES OF LOGS New wood tables for every Gen Z ever born, up in flames.
A college.
An 'Agricultural' 'College'. Where fracking is the special focus.
You can't write this stuff!

Grew up in Walla Walla, WA. My junior high girlfriend (now my wife of 48 years) took home ec and typing. She is an awesome cook and a fast typist. I got kicked out of shop class before we started using hand tools. I can't type but i make things in my workshop. Way better equipped shop than the one in junior high. We greatly emjoy our grandkids. Its a good life!

Offerman as Karl Weathers in Fargo (Season 2) is impossibly good. Also happens to be the second best season of TV ever, True Detective S1 being the best. As he negotiates with 'Bear' outside the police station, it's even better than his now famous entrance into the station in the first place. Just watch Fargo S2.

In a service based economy it makes sense to have lots of people who need to pay someone to do simple tasks I learned in public schools. Removing those classes from the curriculum was a deliberate decision to move away from an industrial and manufacturing economy.

It wouldn't matter which actor ran for president - they'd win, they always have. Bono, Reagan, Schwarzenegger - trump's in a league of his own. Taylor Swift for president or Jimmy Kimmel

I'm a HS teacher. I agree that home ec and wood shop are important. Our HS has both culinary arts, wood shop, and metal shop. A lot of schools have these classes in my state.

Back in the 80s, I took home economics twice. No better way to spend Tuesday and Thursday afternoons with about 10 hot girls. And we got to make and eat a meal on Thursdays.

Wow, so they became real American entrepreneurs and capitalist. Just like the other salespeople in New York. Although they didn't have to cross most of the nation.

Library Mafia, that's great. Nod to Seinfeld for the overdue book cop. Hope Jerry is coming around. He probably had no idea the IDF was going to turn into Putin.

Depends on where you go to school with regards to those classes. Places that underfund education cut them. States that prioritize education haven't.
