I like him, he shut down all Electronics R&D and manufacturing and continued the dumbing down of education.
Leaving the country without Electronics specialists. Now there is only untrained capacitor changers available to employers.
Makes it dead easy for me to continually move around between jobs of my current choice, at the pay I ask for.
Really, really enjoying it. Thanks heaps matey.
In fairness to Scotty, the "dumbing down" thing was well under way before his time.
Govts from both sides got suckered into the "ask Industry what they want"slogan.
This might have worked when Industries were run by old scary buggers who knew what their company did, & had the solder burn scars to prove it, but in the modern era, the Boss is a non-technical MBA, with a deep suspicion of "technical types", who just reads the specification for a job, without any deeper understanding.
The result is a lot of "monkey see, monkey do" minimally trained drones.
