Zito: Mike Rowe aims to make hard work something to value

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:31 GMT

A few months ago, Mike Rowe stumbled upon a 2011 video of himself speaking in front of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee during the Obama administration about the mindset of government toward skilled trades. His argument was that skilled trades were the key to saving our economy, not those jobs that require a four-year degree.His argument fell on deaf ears.So he went again in April of 2014, this time testifying before the House Committee on Natural Resources to discuss the opportunities for skilled trade workers in the energy industry. This time he brought props, specifically the poster his guidance counselor from high school pointed to when he tried to bully Rowe into picking a high-priced university over a community college his senior year.Rowe said he had nothing against college, but the universities his counselor recommended were expensive. “I had no idea what I wanted to study. I thought a community college made more sense, but Mr. Dunbar said a t...

Editorial: LIV-PGA merger exposes leadership hypocrisy

Back in July 2021, the families of those who lost loved ones on Sept. 11, 2001, were outraged by the arrival of a Saudi-backed golf tournament at the New Jersey golf course owned by Donald Trump, just 50 miles from the wreckage of the World Trade Center.The families pointed out that 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi nationals. Trump, who was playing in the tournament with his son Eric, merely rubbed salt into their wounds by saying, falsely, that “nobody has gotten to the bottom of 9/11.” Also playing that cozy day in Bedminster: the chief banker to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.U.S. intelligence concluded that MBS ordered the torture and killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. The Saudis have long denied it.Despite protests from families of 9/11 victims, the LIV golf league grew more successful, buoyed in part by the game’s surge in popularity during the COVID-19 crisis. Golfers from all over the world were offered obscene sums of upfront mone...

Actual production wrapped in October 2021. A release was scheduled for last July.Having survived years of changing concepts and scripts, “The Flash” was soon plagued by leading man issues. The multiple reported incidents and legal troubles of Miller, 30, boggle...
