Same reasons that required Jimmy Carter to sell his peanut farm.

And the "meritocracy" people claim this is in pursuit of more educational opportunities for American students without a molecule of irony.

This. You know a lot of tech from the 60s and 70s is still chugging along (I know a guy who makes more than I ever will because he know his way around VAX)
