I never realized how many people didn’t know how to read until I started working here

I hire a lot of people in a year to work for me. Mostly out of high school kids and their level of ignorance on almost every subject.........other than gaming............is stunning. No idea how to read...do simple math....can't tell time on a regular clock....and logical thinking? Yeah right. Its not just where you work. Its no wonder people believe any conspiracy theory they hear anymore.....no matter how big or crazy of a lie it is. They won't and can't read.
