Well, I'm not going to point fingers superficially at what people major in.

Considering that only about roughly 30% of the country holds any college degree at all, the people in college aren't the problem, it's the 66% who are complaining about can't find a high paying job that are the problem (and on top those who even have the audacity to call those highly educated "elites" like if it's a bad thing lol). You can't blame the ones in college if you yourself aren't in college.

Other than the fact that these great companies have been stashing their money overseas for years, avoiding paying US taxes, with Apple and Microsoft being the biggest stake contributors.

Apple is racist for not putting their factory in some third world sh%thole nation.

Cory Booker is already throwing a huge hissy over Apple disrespecting his ancestors. What, a black man can't build a phone?!

It is a racist company that is mostly White or Asian and male. They should hire more Women and Blacks and Native Americans!

Unfortunately, there are not enough Black and Female Engineers out there.
I'm an Aerospace Engineer working in Defense for an F100 Company and the company I work for is always recruiting Black and female Engineers. When they can find them, they never get laid off, ever, which leads to even a smaller pool of available Black and Female Engineers on the open market.

Actually most SV companies have distorted demographics that totally fail to represent the nation as a whole.

1. They have FAR too many Asians. (racial preferences run amok)
2. They have too few whites (reverse discrimination)
3. Too few blacks and hispanics (traditional discrimination)
4.. They have vastly disproportionate Jewish upper management and founders (Jewish Supremacy)
5. They have far too many young employees compared to older employees (ageism)

Most SV companies just hires the best talent without regards to diversity. Just happens that those are the demographics that contains the most qualified people. I don't think they intentionally do it.

Apple isn't just going to pick college grads, they find the cream of the crop. Like Intel does.
Well, I suspect that they will cross those eating Tide pods off the list rather quickly.

When will people admit they were wrong. Posters on this board, politicians, MSNBC, etc...

MSNBC has said numerous times that Trump's tax reform will not create a single job.

MSNBC wants you to believe that government spending in Obama's stimulus creates jobs, but business spending from Trump's tax reform doesn't.
