@justinerickson @LukeAlmighty The world has changed significantly. The kids can rightfully be ragged on for a good amount of laziness and apathy, but if you grew up outside their generation it’s hard to understand their mindset.

No church, no real purpose, no moral code other than generic pop culture niceties. The boys raised exclusively by absent (if any at all) fathers and socialized to act like women by a never ending stream of female teachers and obsessive mothers.

The girls taught that the highest virtues a woman can express are imitations of masculinity - ambition, abrasiveness, selfishness upheld as the bar of feminine excellence - and all of them thrown into an economy bearing nearly 100 years of red tape, regulation, and law standing in the way of their careers.

@justinerickson @LukeAlmighty Self-fulfilling, too. So many of our parents never ‘got’ why everyone was single, even when they had careers and a future. Doesn’t matter if you’re a med resident, you’re earning $22k a year and living like a pizza driver, that’s a hard sell to stupid women…..and a whole lot of ‘em are real dumb.

Just built this snowman.

There's a really complex dance going on. In 2021/2022, people just needed workers. Signs were up saying they'd get sign-on bonuses and get paid $14 or $16 .. but at the same time, they needed to keep workers who were getting $11/$12 before Scamdemic-flation.

You hire someone for $15 just to fill a spot and all your $11 are like "Why are they getting $4/more when I've been loyal." So they leave. A lot of these owners can't afford to hire someone else at that price, so they gotta squeeze people for more hours. People who leave quickly find out that $15 at the new place ... also are asked to work 50~60 hours/week. They need the money, because inflation is insane. (hence this is why you have that screenshot of the person getting fired for discussing income ... shitty, but that's why).

In the small town I lived in last year, I knew gas station owners who were working 80+ hours a week because they couldn't find staff they could afford. Remember: low unemployment is really good for workers. Smaller pool meaning shops need to pay a good price. But with the jumbled up scamdemic+inflation, you have a weird people shuffle that kept driving up wages .. wages a lot of shop owners couldn't actually afford (because unemployment was actually high), leaving them understaffed and just picking up the work themselves to keep the business afloat until they could afford workers again.

They cycle is just gonna get worse, because the current market isn't remotely natural. It's been propped up by printing money, reducing limits to unemployment and devaluation across the board. Now Former Vice President Biden has hired a small army of IRS agents and dropped the hobby income ceiling from $10k all the way down to $600, and wants everyone from Venmo, Cashapp and PayPal to report the same crap Square and Credit Card processors report! His handlers make him say he's going after the rich, but really this is part one of individual social credit scores (use more cash and Craigslist kids!)

Anecdotal: my HVAC just went out a month ago. I got a tech recommended by a friend (actually a high school classmate's dad). HVAC was almost 20 yeas old and had holes in the heat ex changer, but I was able to get a replacement that week and he had a crew of three for the install. They were fast, and also seemed to have other jobs lined up. 🤷‍♂️

thinking about the time I went to apply for a job and the boomer ass boss had a meltdown because I wasn't there for the interview on the dot, had resume gaps, and wasn't wearing fancy ass clothes.

I made Japanese curry and damn, who would have thought I'd like it? Honestly, Asian tastes are kinda weird, everything's slightly sweet and alien to me or has some very sharp or exaggerated tastes.

But yeah, I added too much water initially. I had prepared some chicken stock and added that and half water, but it seems I needed quite a bit less water so I just did what I could, I simmered it until it turned to the texture I wanted. I mixed the Japanese curry paste myself since I have all possible condiments maybe except nutmeg.

The vegetables didn't turn to mush despite simmering way more than what was provided in the recipe, so all's good.

many such cases

Douchey but he’s right in that a lot of people quote fantastic levels of pay for jobs that don’t give them enough work to make that level.

“It’s a hundred fifty k a year!!!!” they’ll say, but that’s based on a pay rate of making 50 widgets per day….and the company only lets you make 14.
