    Is there something wrong with the program itself?

    Yeah the wording/poster is a bit cringe but jobs for young people seem good.

      Programs that help people seek employment are of course good.

      The wording of “Build your homeland’s future” in a silo is cringey.

      However, with the current wave of ultra nationalism and the government pushing to “protect” the homeland from “foreign invaders” cringey is not the most accurate term.

      Its a bit like calling molten steel “hot”

        Especially since their ICE recruitment media IS ACTUALLY saying “protect your homeland” or thereabouts.

        I didn’t want to use “resembling nazi propagada” since it’s just a generic guy in front of map, so I went a bit too far in the opposite direction with “cringe”.

      They cut the Job Corps because those taking advantage of the program weren’t white enough.
