1. People being afraid of being sued for high school workers getting hurt at their home.
- When I was a kid 12-18yrs old I'd go around the neighborhood asking if they needed the grass mowed, leaves raked, house painted, snow shoveled. Now it's mainly migrant laborers doing the work and people afraid of being sued by American citizens (thanks to the lawyers and greed).

2. Kids are being brainwashed to look down on manual labor. They don't want to be associated as doing a job that illegal aliens do.

3. In the more temperate climates (ie: California) life is very easy compared to the Northeast so there are less thing to fix.

Solution: Parents get your kids away from the computers and TV. Limit their hours. Have them get a hobby, give them chores to do around the house. Stop disrespecting manual labor so much.

Government start giving more tax incentives to companies that stay and MANUFACTURE products in the USA. There are hundreds to thousands of side businesses that crop up when businesses manufacture here. Manufacturing breeds creativity and ingenuity.

If you don't do this you'll loose the country.
