Everybody who says that tradesmen make little money or will have broken bodies by 50 are in stupid people trades, not proper trades like plumbing, millwright, electrician, etc.

Any half brain will become a foreman/superintendent after 15 or so years experience and by their 40s be in a chair having others do their shit work.

Even if you decide you hate the "soft" office life as long as you use your body properly and not turn to drugs or other illicit substances you'll be fine.

STEM (Only engineering and medicine) > Trades > Everything else

I really wish someone would maybe perhaps launch some sort fast moving projectile to this old faggot's face (preferably in a video game) every time he does that insulting whisper, like he thinks the audience are dogs who want a treat. And considering Biden's past history of condescension (MY IQ IS BIGGER THAN YOURS), this is one of his traits you can't pin on his addled grey matter.

Our offices all have large bulletproof glass turnstiles for building entry and exit. Very secure and yes, would have prevented a random child killing douche from entering.

However, they wouldn't prevent a more determined douche that spent two minutes thinking ahead. He'd just knock off a kid outside, steal the entry badge, and waltz right in with his chosen death blaster under a coat.

That assumes an entry badge will make the turnstile gate open. In reality you'd have someone watching the gate (possibly through CCTV) with the ability to lock it down, or a timer that shuts it down when school's in session so visitors must ring the office, or two-factor authentication. Those secure spaces I mentioned have additional layers of security, which I don't think it's wise to describe in too much detail, but no one's getting in with a stolen badge. We can make schools the same way, if we want to. I think it all sounds soulless and dystopian, but it's a better idea than the left's gun confiscation schemes.

You can always come up with a sufficiently-determined douche that, given enough resources, can defeat a security system. But the point of security isn't to create an impregnable barrier capable of withstanding Batman, it's to deter bad guys, to alert the authorities, and to slow the bad guys down until the authorities get there. If the bad guy takes a look at your building and walks past it, your security works. If you can slow him down for ten minutes, and the police can get there in eight, your security works. If you can slow him down for three minutes, and get all your valuables (e.g. children) locked down in two minutes, then your security works. Obviously I'm assuming the authorities will actually do something when they get there, but that assumption is a standard one in security planning.

I guess I agree that most security features inspire undue confidence, since most things advertised as security features are poorly designed, poorly implemented, or go unused. Even when you try to give someone a secure environment, most of them will happily defeat every layer of security to gain a scintilla of convenience. (I hope whoever keeps propping my building's door open gets raped by a vagrant in Minecraft. And in the anus.) But that doesn't mean people who know what they're doing can't create very secure spaces. It's a balancing act and you have to consider the value of the assets you're protecting, the vulnerabilities you're working with, the threats you contemplate, and the resources available to you. Fences and locked doors work 99% of the time, and they're cheap, which is why people use them for their homes in the US. YouTube is full of doorbell camera footage where a bad guy gives up because he encounters a locked door and the person inside declines to open it. And you never see footage of the bad guys who don't try because they think even approaching the door is too risky. If you put real thought and resources into your security, you can improve on that by orders of magnitude.

Quarterwits who dismiss one-way exit doors and armed security in schools have those exact things in their studios and offices.

They spent billions of dollars turning the Capitol into a fortress, making NG lackeys sleep on the floor and eat rotten food to make them feel safe.

They think they are more important than your children. They don't want to protect kids; they want you defenseless.

A “compromise” on gun legislation in Washington, D.C. is another way of saying that the bill will be rejected before it reaches the floor of Congress. “Bipartisan” is just the fancy word that is used to distract people for thinking that compromises work.

Remember, your only achievement in the White House is just being a figurehead that does nothing because you‘re “Not Trump™“.

I think a possible solution is weaponizing the MGTOW movement by telling suburban men to stop marrying and giving the D to suburban woke white women.

I guess its better than letting the rights go away if people are scaring of voting in politicians who would tell that voting block to piss off and burn in hell.

Why don't the white suburban men deal with the white suburban women.

Or let the rural white women deal with them.

America should never have abandoned the rule of thumb.
It should have been expanded to rule of wrist.

(Yes I know it's just a dumb joke based on an old feminist lie but it's still fun to imagine the rule of thumb having been real)

She's not wrong. Society (whatever exactly that means to you) has told literal children with undeveloped brains that the way to a successful career and stable life is to take out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to go to college. Those loans when you're 18-25 do not seem real when you take them—they're just numbers on a screen. Does it matter what you study, then? Not really. Follow your passion, children are told. Then you have kids who studied modern West African art come out of schooling with huge debts and no real, fulfilling path in life available to them. What the solution? Many times, it's go to [insert professional school here]. That, of course, costs another 100k+. And unless you go to a very small number of schools, it doesn't often help you that much with finding a job that can give you a return on that investment.

Huge populations that are indebted with no solution out of it have been a problem in society for millennia. The Romans would occasionally burn all the debt slips (usually for political purposes, like when a new Emperor came to power). A Jubilee year in the Bible involved wiping away debts. What did the French peasants do during the Great Fear in the Revolutionary French period? Burn all the debt books in the noble manors.

Is the solution just wiping away all debt? Probably not, though we shouldn't act like societies just as great (in their own time) as our's have not seen that specific solution and employed it. Something absolutely needs to be done, even if it's just allowing education debt to be dischargeable in some form through bankruptcy, but none of our scumbag political "leaders" care in the least. To them, a debtor underclass is absolutely fine, especially if the actual solution is to put the onus on the educational institutions that hold so much sway in D.C. (i.e. the Harvards and Yales of the country). Those schools have massive sway in elite society—more than most people, even here, realize—and will fight using every single alumnus they have (presidents, congressmen, judges, etc.) to evade accountability.
