In the second quarter of 2025, America had $1.21 trillion of credit card debt.

The average American had almost $6,500 of credit card debt on their card at the time.

So it's not like there's just some easy solution.

Like maybe there will be as stuff like that becomes cheaper.

But right now, there's just a whole grab bag of problems that you can trace back to if not coming from home ec not being taught.

Home ec being taught could have solved them or could solve or prevent them in the future.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm really glad you said that because this could so easily slide into, well, when we were in school, we learned all this stuff and look at how great we turned out.

It could just be people who are proponents of home ec, not understanding where the country is going, where the culture is going.

And it's going away from home ec in a different direction that will take care of itself.

It's not like home ec is the solution to every problem.

So that's a really good argument against it.

There's others, too.

Like do we if we bring back like vocational education, does the U.S.

need jobs like that?

And you can make an argument against that argument and that, yeah, we do, especially hands-on jobs like trade skills, like plumbing and electricians.

Jensen Wang, the CEO of NVIDIA, said the next generation of millionaires are going to be plumbers and electricians because it's so hard to replace that with AI.

So there's like arguments one way or another, but you just have to be really careful not to slip into the back of my day, things were better kind of mentality.

Yeah.

That's right.
