Anyone who claims to absolutely know the future is blowing smoke.

That's great. Don't take any wooden nickels!

I've never seen anyone claim that employers training their workers is socialism.

I guess you missed the thing with Tim Cook talking about OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
There is more to it than a company "training workers" and if you don't realize this then you're not qualified to have an informed opinion on the subject.
High tech manufacturing nations have a searing thirst for educated university graduates that hold degrees in everything from engineering to physics, to math and beyond.

So as I said earlier, generational ignorance is ten times more expensive than support for high quality public education.

You might want to listen to that again, because you completely missed his point.

He's not talking about a "searing thirst for educated university graduates that hold degrees in everything from engineering to physics, to math and beyond" - quite the contrary he's mostly talking about vocational training, specifically tooling (yes, he also recognizes the need for more applied engineering specialists). This an alternative career route to the "thirst for knowledge" academic path. Both parties have been pursuing this.

Nobody calls it "socialism."

That's for factory labor but if you want the country to become a central manufacturing hub you need all of it, not just some willing factory schlubs who can maintain robots.
All you need to do is compare what kids get taught overseas to what our kids get taught.
