    “No one wants to work” has always had an unspoken “for the paltry wages I am offering” component to it.

        Not sure if this message is that CEOs are actually nice or nice guys are actually assholes. Both seem like cogdiss.

              No because they’re the creepy/scary assholes that think they’re nice and that if they do a single nice thing for a woman they get sex and then blow up like an insane person at any woman that doesn’t.

                Oh I get it. Genuinely nice guys who are shy and have trouble meeting women aren’t a thing, because memes have to be true and non-superficial thinking is boring. Check.

              Sure, there are women that go for assholes. Doesn’t have anything to do with looks, it just that a certain % of population is attracted to assholiness.

              Well, it’s their problem

                I’m not a psychologist but there’s a theory I give some credence to, that since many men are too intimidated to approach extremely beautiful women, some of those women develop the feeling that there’s something wrong with them, leading them to get into relationships with assholes, and feeling like their choices are limited, allow themselves to be dominated and walked on. In my own dating career there were two extremely gorgeous, sweet, thoughtful women who, after I had patiently listened to them talk about how horrible their exes were decided to go back to them. One of these guys was the big redneck beat-up-guys-in-tavern fights type, the other was an actual former pimp. “He needs me more than you do” was the theme. And no I wasn’t in the friend zone, unless there’s a friend zone that has incredible benefits.

      Do you know why they don’t like remote work? Eventually, you can remotely work for another country that pays more.

        They don’t like remote work because it means they’re wasting money on office space. Rather than fix that problem they want to fill the unnecessary space and pretend there’s no problem.

          Yep, my prev. CEO capped working from home to 1 day a week and treated it like we were requesting a holiday.

          “I have such a nice office and then nobody shows up, you know how much that hurts?”

          Man, how far removed from reality can you be?

          It also means they’re wasting money on middle management more often than not. Which scares middle management.

        Or even just remotely work for other employers in the same country. For example, Dallas employers don’t want compete with Silicon Valley employer salaries.

        Yes, and perfectly named because:

        Dogecoin is an inflationary cryptocurrency, which means that its supply increases over time. New coins are regularly added to the system through minting and mining. Dogecoin’s inflationary system is unique because it adds a consistent 5 billion new coins each year.

        It’s both inflationary and a rug puller’s delight.

          I was in a band called Rug Puller’s Delight.

          The first three or four songs of every set were excellent covers of chart topping songs and the rest was a rambling and dissonant 90-minute jazz opera about navel lint.

          We never played the same venue twice for some reason… 🤔

            Oh that sounds like a fun time!! Hopefully at good places where the patrons wouldn’t get too rowdy about it.

            I worked with a heavy (very heavy and growl-ey) metal band that was mis-scheduled with a bar, they had advertised their Reggae night that weekend instead. Many many angry drunk patrons. Did not use that venue again.

    And they do so for two reasons. The first, and most important, is because foreign labor is cheaper than domestic by far. The second, and arguably the most important for you and I, is because our education system sucks and can’t pump out nearly as many well-educated folks in those particular fields at nearly the rate of countries with free, subsidized, or even just cheap education.

    So the problem is twofold. The first, rent is too expensive and Americans know it. The second, school is too expensive and Americans know it. Americans also know that we can’t actually fix those problems without something changing with how our political and economic systems operate, and that takes a revolution that nobody wants because they don’t want to fight and die for their right to be exploited by an employer in place of an immigrant.

    Hardly. MAGAts learning the truth a couple months ago so what’s about to transpire over the next four years was something COMPLETELY different would’ve been the greatest gift.
