I'm not sure what you meant by "people know what they need etc."

We're in the fourth Industrial Revolution, low skilled. high paying industrial jobs don't exist due to automation. Those sort of jobs are never coming back.

If people want a job today, they'll need a suitable education, or a trades apprenticeship. The government is going to have to invest in education, and provide it at a reasonable cost, or perhaps even support people and provide free education to get them back into the modern working world.

Trump recently had a meeting with a couple of automakers, and they told him they couldn't fill many jobs because there weren't enough educated/trained Americans. The company I work for has a difficult time finding enough educated staff as well.

Is this what you're saying the people realize and the government doesn't?
