Hear that useless libtard college grads?

Go work for $1/hour (or whatever factory workers make in China) making plastic spatulas, and if you don't, you're STUPID, DUMB, AND LAZY, unlike real smart white collar workers like Spartanmack and I, who totally work really hard doing things so complicated only a ROCKET SCIENTIST could understand, and don't pay any attention to the fact that our jobs are so easy and meaningless, and the whole US economy is a pyramid scheme moving money around that's soon to collapse that we can post on DSF all day. We're WORKING.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I already did the one thing I had to do this morning, and now I need to go do the two things I needed to do this afternoon.

sometimes I wonder if there is a depth to your stupidity and then I read a post like this and am reminded that there is not.

Next time, quote Hughes when you make these strawman arguments - he's the one that said he'd rather have 14 year olds employed in China while 22 year olds sit on their mom's couch. I'm the one who said we need to get a better trade deal with China and lower corporate taxes so we can bring back more skilled, better paying manufacturing jobs.

And speak for yourself, my job isn't that easy right now. It's a new discipline for me and I work pretty hard at it. The failure rate is high, but I keep plugging away knowing that the hard work despite the low success rate will lead to a solid business that I'll be proud to have built - at some point, it will get easier but the burnout rate indicates it's not as easy to be successful as you think it is. But you think anyone who makes more money than you was born into it and/or didn't work very hard to earn it.

I was working when I was 14.

My understanding is kids are miss used in China. I don’t know how much of a 14-year-old Chinese kids day goes to working and how much goes to studying. I expect they have a caste system and the children of the more influential commies do shit like studying and the children of the less influential commies do shit like working real hard.

I don’t know how many 22-year-olds are sitting around playing legend on their mom’s living room couches. That sounds like something that might be hyperbole.

When I was 22 I was studying at the University of Michigan. When I was 24 I climbed into my car with my few earthly possessions and really no money or not much, and drove across the country to pursue my dreams.

Didn’t really achieve them to the degree that I had hoped but they were pretty lofty goals as it were, and my life has been pretty eventful as it turned out.

Now when I got here, I didn’t sit around on any couch playing legend. I had to work my ass off to survive.

I had a paper route at 14 until 16 and started mowing lawns at 15 - that business became a lot easier to grow when I turned 16 and could drive. I probably started at 12 if you count all the temporary gigs I got at my dad's office sorting and filing paperwork in the pre-computer era for hours on end. Those gigs continued for a while but as I got older they got more labor intensive, like doing grunt work in the warehouse or moving the office to new locations a couple times as they grew. One summer I got a sweet gig on an assembly line rustproofing 200+ Dodge Omnis a day at a facility right outside the Jefferson Plant. The next summer I spent my days with my brother breaking things down and moving out of that facility after they brought that function in-house. Soon after they stopped production of the Omni and doubled the size of the Jefferson plant to produce Jeep Cherokees.

Bill Gates on mandatory vaccines:

"Making something mandatory can often backfire. But you might say that if you’re going to work in an old-folks home or have any exposure to elderly people, it would be required."

Bill is a master of master-speak.

Note that Bill makes no qualifying statement on the ethics of forcing people to accept a vaccine and then in the same sentence pretty much says that we will be forced to be injected, because...who can avoid exposure to elderly people?

"No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects."
 
Seems like misplaced worry to me to speculate where we could end up if you follow unintended slippery slopes extrapolated from out of context statements (from people actually doing good in the world) when there are plenty of people doing bad things.
 
I'm okay with mandatory vaccinations.

I'm also okay with slapping around anyone who complains about mandatory vaccinations (just a *little* bit...). Knock some sense into 'em.

Certain countries that had mandatory, or somewhat mandatory vaccinations (like the USSR and Mexico) often used these HUGE ASS needles to do it. Those left marks on peoples' arms. The mark of the beast! I like that idea. A reminder that for all the bullshit about being "individuals" and "free" we're truly just members of a herd, not nearly as unique as we think we are.

Get your shots and move on. enjoy being immune to some truly horrific and debilitating diseases. Read. Paint. go for a jog.

You think a trade deal will motivate an entire Millennial workforce lmao. Now who is the stupid one?
 
Simple solution. Dont make the vaccinations mandatory. Let them die if thats what they wish.

This is creepy and awesome at the same time. There's a TED talk out there about doing this with other diseases. In the same way data mining is creepy and Gataga or Gataca? was creepy, this is creepy, but I love the idea of not relying on people to self-evaluate and decide to go see doctors.
 
Add "game changer" to tOfficial list of phrases I hate:



"Game Changer"
"gut check"

"law and order"
"state's rights"
"the cupboard was bare"
 
LOL, these people...

I do kinda agree with him that Walmart workers are in the "service of Satan" though. He kinda has a point there.


I have to give those Walmart workers credit for handling this better than "professional" American law enforcement officers would have... this guy would have 20 bullets in the back if he talked to cops like that (and if he was black)!

That’s right; I remember now.

Game Change was the movie about John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.

That’s reason enough for everybody to hate it.

Good movie though.

Boatloads of acting awards and nominations amongst the cast, I know that shit is important to you.
