Do we know why? For Americans, I can see the nihilism of the grunge era affecting the latter part of that group, and possibly having a lasting effect towards political compass.
But I can’t think of a reason of the top of my head for European millennials driving so deep into that side of politics.
And anyone left will be living a live probably not worth living.
As Ricky Gervais said, (paraphrasing) do Abrahamic religions believe in any of the hundreds of gods before their one god? Well I don’t believe in just one more.
Based on your metal choices, I think our tastes vary, but almost anything by:
Has always worked better than creatine or any pre-workout for me.
Oh the guy who took advantage of people in his country to undercut people of other countries while pocketing the difference?
Oh yea. Bet that guy worked his fucking ass off and isn’t a complete scumbag.
The kids have to learn about TekWar sooner or later
We were taught about demographic imbalance years ago and how it would be incoming and yet nothing was done.
This is good, in my opinion.
Pollution, overpopulation, health crises, housing crises, food crises, political instability, war, the list goes on for why people aren’t having kids.
The real reason for most of the above boils down to one thing: greed.
A single income family used to be able to support multitude of children without issue. Now a dual income family has to consider finances when considering a single child. All because of the world they’d be bringing it into that has been destroyed by greed.
Contraction of economies is going to hurt all of us, but it’ll hurt the ones at the top the most, because there is only so much they can take until there aren’t enough humans to take from anymore, and the power/wealth gap will have to close out a different system will have to be established.
“The difference today is that 30 of the biggest economies have experienced very significant labor shortages — and we are seeing it everywhere,” she said, adding that agriculture, construction, health care and hospitality were among the sectors affected.
“Labor shortages”.
Let’s look for commonalities between those sectors.
Agriculture: long hours, back-breaking labor, little upward mobility, dangerous, long-term health issues, often terrible management
Construction: long hours, back-breaking labor, little upward mobility, dangerous, long-term health issues, often terrible management
Health-care: long hours, back-breaking labor, little upward mobility, dangerous, potential long-term health issues, PTSD, often terrible management, difficult patents (who are anything but patient)
Hospitality: long hours, little upward mobility, potentially dangerous, often terrible management, difficult clientele
So, when looking at a job market that has a shortage, people are no longer having to take these jobs due to failing to secure ones with better work descriptions, and they haven’t been prioritizing these for a long time.
The biggest reason is that people understand the risks involved with these jobs now, especially as a lifer. And they’re no longer giving lifer offers.
If you want people to flock or prioritize these jobs you offer more money. This is a negotiation between the general public and the job opportunities. The people with jobs to fill need to be competitive with all the other prospects a potential worker is considering.
If an IT firm that requires little to no experience is offering $15 an hour to start, those jobs need to be at $30. If that’s still not enough? Well the general public balked at the offer. $40. Keep going until people come back.
It doesn’t matter if there aren’t enough people to fill all these jobs and all the other ones, you need to beat them with competitive packages to get them to come. Then offer pensions to get them to stay.
It’s a negotiation and they’re losing and throwing a pity party then saying the government needs to bring in immigrants.
I’m not against the last point. Not in the slightest. What I’m against is treating immigrants as if they’re less than anyone else in the country. As if they’re brought in to do all the shit the people don’t find appealing.
They should be brought in as equals.
Less China bashing requires less actions that require bashing.
Yup. That simple.
I will have to disagree with him.
Certain aspects of humanity are making us extinct, but really one that it can all be boiled down to: greed.
Corporations, ultra-rich, industry and certain nations have a lot more to do with the planet dying than we as a society should have to bear blame.
This whole act of we’re all to blame needs to end. They’re to blame. They’re killing us. They’re killing our kin, loved ones, future generations.
This is where it needs to stop. If it doesn’t stop the planet will do it for us.
Good catch. It’s been some time and I was way off. Just checked their menu and it’s 60 days. wayyyy off
I was taken to a very expensive steak restaurant once, and while others got more expensive cuts I got a 10 oz California sirloin aged 8 years in house.
I love steak, I loved steak, I will always love steak, but every steak from that day has to measure up to that one and never will.
I’m so glad I had the experience, but I don’t have $280 to blow on steak each time I want it lol.
“Bumble Bee Tuna”
Love it.
It’s because infrastructure spending, especially repairs or preventative maintenance, isn’t a vote getter. It’s not flashy, so it doesn’t get the focus it should.
By the time our representatives have funded their pet projects, and their donors projects, they aren’t going to award a large chunk that’s needed for these repairs.
That is… until there is a catastrophe close to home. Unfortunately that’s when we’ll likely see action. But it’ll be myopic, and focus only on one specific thing, leaving another unattended.
Even better, the tickets are nowhere near $50 most of the time anymore
Elden Ring.
I didn’t love the learning/difficulty curve of Soulsborne games until this one, but it got its hooks in me hard.
I usually spammed most boss fights and played everything a certain way, but here I had to learn the boss’s moves and dodge, parry and use power ups to bring them down.
Worth it. While frustrating, it made me return to other genres and play them again but differently. Hitman, sniper elite, roguelites/likes, anything that rewards patience, really. These now had a whole new facet I didn’t see before, or I did and I was applying it to these games.
I’ve since tried other soulsborne games, and while I now appreciate the difficulty and find them a lot more fun, the exploration and world of Elden Ring was the difference maker for me. It was being able to forge my own path and choose my challenges.
Eh, there’s blind hatred, and then there’s sweeping the unsightlies under the rug.
They’re taking away rights from people who aren’t “sightly” to make the neighborhoods and country seem better.
Other countries have done the same, doesn’t make it right in the slightest.
If anything those other country leaders should know what the country they are visiting is going through, thick and thin. Everything can’t be all Sunshine and roses, fuck whatever positive posture they’re trying to put on whatever trade system.
There is a real cost to this system and these people they’re trying to sweep under the rug are that cost. They should see that. No matter how “unsightly” that is.
Let’s stop pretending we live in some magically world where we can ignore the things we don’t like. They still exist.
His face creeps me out so much. I usually try to attack the policies and not the person but it is just too much for me.
It’s like if Jason Bateman was cast in an oddball version of Batman where the Penguin was actually Isaac Asimov.
