In the grand theater of political discourse, few figures ignite controversy like Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Her latest proposal?

SINGAPORE: The youngest generation in the workforce is proving yet again to have a different set of values than their elders. It’s not that they don’t want to work; it’s just that they may no longer see the university or college and desk job pipeline as desirable as Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers once did. The kind of work they want to do is described in a recent Fortune piece as traditional trades, which include welding, plumbing, and carpentry. Data, at least from the United States, appears to bear this out. Enrollment numbers went up by 16 per cent in 2023 at vocational-focused community ..read more
