Thread regarding IBM layoffs

Fed's jobs push needs any help, including IBM's

Last month in a letter to nominees to lead the Labor and Education Departments, Obed
Louissaint, a senior IBM executive, asked the government to expand eligibility for $130 billion in
annual student aid.

About 65% of Americans who are at least 25 years old don’t have a college degree, shutting
them out of such assistance. That’s why IBM wants student loans and so-called Pell grants
available for part-time students, mid-career professionals, apprenticeships and certificate
programs.

Sure, since it's all going to be forgiven anyway, ask for as much as you can get. And how much of that $130B will go towards P-TECH students?

Remember all the newcollar (NewCo) hires don't require degrees.

Kinda funny that ibm fires all of the older college grads who actually paid for their college degrees, while advocating that these same people, as well as those without a degree pay for those who are replacing the older workers? Why - so that IBM can pay them less money?
