    Still, part of the problem for the shortage of manufacturing jobs is the lack of education and training, according to Farley. He noted, for example, learning to take a diesel engine out of a Ford Super Duty truck takes at least five years. The current system is not meeting the standard, he added.

    BS. It’s not rocket science, and can be learned on the job with a proper apprenticeship culture, and without prior technical education. Also, if they had their engineers prioritize repairability at all, it wouldn’t be such a difficult job.

      Yeah but that’s only because they moved everything out of the country whenever they could to reduce costs.

      Who could have foreseen that biting them in the ass? Clearly no one. /s
