Quote by Walter Mosley
I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today, if you ask people what they know, they say, 'I know how to hire someone.'

Summary
The quote highlights the shift in society's reliance on specialization and outsourcing. The speaker reminisces about a time when individuals had diverse skills and could independently tackle various tasks. Nowadays, there seems to be an overreliance on hiring others to perform basic tasks, reflecting a lack of general knowledge and self-sufficiency among people.
