I agree, but the one thing we should add is at least a class where you learn "how to actually fucking cook for yourself and not eat chicken nuggets all day" and "how to do your taxes". maybe "how to fix your car" too
Put the classes back in? When I was at school, there were "home economics" (cooking and sowing), "personal finance" (checkbooks and taxes), and things like woodworking. I think mechanics was a vo-tech thing.
The model that you can run large trade deficits forever will fail. It’s like I’m trying to say regarding Apple. Moving the value added processes overseas and buying the phones back to sell them here is a revenue outflow. It doesn’t matter that the Apple Store is some retail work; yeah that’s a revenue gain for Apple, but once we’ve paid out for the phones to be made, the retail operation is revenue neutral for the US economy as a whole. Things are hollowing out. There’s not enough soup in the pot, so we’re swishing it around to make it go higher up the wall and pretending that means there’s more soup in the pot.
can't believe you already forgot that it was Trump who kept Hillary out
I can explain the missing black demonstrators. Anti-Trump demonstrators are paid, which makes demonstrating work.
With things like ChatGPT if you understand how to use the tool it can be great.
Operative word: "could." Not going to happen if they don't want it.
They already know this.
Hate to tell you this, but Gen X is going to have to continue to work at least as long as Boomers, so we're not going to give up shit once we have it.
The "smart" company (somewhat ironic - I mean companies looking for efficiencies) would re-size jobs like yours so that you don't have time to do that - you'd be doing other things while x thing is running. In my world, we're not backfilling positions - when someone leaves or is terminated, the remaining employees just have to take on more.
They were also bailed out of jail. With DOGE gutting their NGO rackets, they won't be able to do it as much this time. That, and Trump's new approach to Law and Order, must give them cold feet.
It's also a good brainstorming tool. Give it a concept, or something like a riddle, and it'll extrapolate from there. It's easily led, but it does ask questions you wouldn't otherwise think of.
good luck with the warrantee
there’s this thing called cycle time, and these other things called changeovers
5 points if she’s pregnant.
Not a bad idea.
This is hopium if I've ever read it.
Just remember: you can't take it with you.
Precisely. So many dudes don't want to work. They are lazy.
Oh no Hasan Piker just lost another Patreon donor.
I disagree. Trump wants permanent tariffs.
Trump does a lot of things billionaires don't like. Including the current tariffs. Trump wins elections by populism and appealing to the actual voters.
The Neocons in the current Republican party will not maintain their positions with the old conservative playbook. The party of Mitch McConnell is dead.
These issues will drive voting patterns and realign the parties.
It’s amazing how often you’ll hear this from the mouthes of people who sit on extra cushions for their office chair, in an air conditioned room, with Facebook open in the other tab
You're missing the recent news, then.
If you think you can solve the NEET crisis, go right ahead. I won't stop you, but I absolutely will wait impatiently until you solve it.
I graduated a little over 10 years ago and home economics was gutted class that they stuck the sped kids, personal finance wasn't a class, and woodshop had so many pre-requisite classes that you weren't able to touch tools until senior year. Mechanics didn't exist in my school.
I’m over here trying to say factories aren’t that bad, and then the shit that comes back is “oh, they aren’t!? They should be!”
