What should a Biden White House do to help unemployed retail workers? Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has an idea: they should simply become highly-paid tech workers. Emanuel was obliterated online for his comments.

If everyone learns to code, coding will not be a high-paying career anymore. Also many people can't code, because it is too detail-oriented. If one line of code has a typo, it doesn't work. Some coding also requires advanced math skills. Really not well thought out at all. But what more can we expect from the establishment?

    I agree; I was originally going to study CS at college, and I ended up switching to LibArts because coding was too hard for me. (Worked out well I must add in terms of the education I got).

      Yup. Same here. I even had an adviser that insisted on trying to keep me in the program despite me just not understanding the fundamentals. My brain just doesn't work that way and having a learning disability does not help.
