Don't millennials/genZers pretty much have to have more education? Not sure if it's just hyperbole but I keep hearing more and more stories of positions requiring a 4 yr degree when the job description quite frankly doesn't even require a full high school education.
One primary source anecdote: Mrs BAC (works for Satan in O&G) mentioned that they have job openings for admins. She also noted that all of the current admins... Most of which have been working there between 15-20 years, are not qualified for the new hire admin positions they are looking to fill

Can you imagine trying to run a national infrastructure program with a supply chain in complete disarray? The cost overruns would have been insurmountable.
Thank you Flying Spaghetti Monster!!
The primary Republican push against the infrastructure bill last time was because as usual, it was just spending piled on top of spending. Not cutting anything to pay for the bill . . . this is not hard to understand, but apparently you never will.
Also,
...you...you mean like literally 3 years after that? what are you even referencing right now?

« on: Today at 10:35:02 AM »One that seems to be going in the opposite direction of the norm: Starbucks.
They incentivize you to use their app via free crap every so often, birthday drinks, etc. The app used to ask you, after every purchase, how much you would like to tip. They took that function away a year or so ago. So now, you pay with the app, but if you don't have cash(lol, what's that) their employees get no tip. Kinda wild.
I assume they found some legal reason to stop doing this and just took the option away before they got sued, but who knows. Given the tip environment everywhere else, this one is a head scratcher.
when you are checking out on the starbucks app it has the total at the bottom and then a little button that says "wanna leave a tip?" but you do not have to engage with that button in order to complete your order.
When you are scanning the bar code in the drive through, that isn't there. It used to be a pop up after they scanned your app, though.
am i to understand you are placing your order when you arrive instead of ordering ahead of time so its ready when you get there?

While telling us an anecdotal story, you also tell us to just trust you, it's easier in NY.
In so many words, BAC was saying less economically capable people are too dumb to figure things out on their own.
Dax, they have an empirical process for validating election results. It's called auditing. It happens frequently. And the results of the audits are pretty consistent. There absolutely is voter fraud. And it's in the dozens upon dozens. A statistically irrelevant amount. This had been the case forever. I'm sorry that doesn't align with your worldview.

As with many things in NY you probably can't just show up willy nilly and expect a positive outcome. You can't just get on the subway, you need a MetroCard (granted you can get them right there in pretty much every subway station) but point being in a lot of cases you have to go through some bureaucracy, but those are typically pretty minor. And once there things go pretty quick, they got millions of people to deal with so they have to operate as a well oiled machine out of basic necessity. NY really does encourage civic participation. Texas is intentionally trying to make it more opaque

« on: April 18, 2024, 12:49:34 PM »A good Maxim for those of you looking to avoid getting into completely idiotic and pointless arguments:
"Don't debate the facts"
Unfortunately for dax, the things he so badly wants to be true virtually never comports with reality, so 99 times out of 100 engaging with him is utterly pointless.
To his credit, hes really good at getting my goat, and i can't help myself, even when I know it's a complete waste of time.
This from a dude who attempted to convey a message that possibly having to show up at drivers license office every . . . 16 years, was voter suppression and a Republican plot to subvert the minority vote in Texas.
While also conveying a message that people of a lower economic stature are complete idiots utterly incapable of navigating the most basic foundations of an organized society and completely incapable of planning in advance to do anything.
I don't have a vivid enough imagination to figure out what sort of doxastic closure led you to that conclusion from anything I posted.

Wow ok I guess I'll be the chiefs one. We had a Mazda mpv. When you saw that Sears es-cargo strapped to the roof it was like when all of the power rangers did the thing.
Really sad fact: we were in that very van, December 1998, st Louis bound, when the transmission died a painful death so we had to be towed back to Wichita from like emporia I think. To this day I still hold the belief that had I made it to the game, my incredible enthusiasm and face paint would have been that extra bit to get us to the Natty.

dax i don't know what to tell you man, it seems we are making completely separate arguments. there's a law/policy/process in place. a change is made to that law/policy/process. There's a delta there. You are essentially making the argument that the delta is inconsequential, nothing to see here. I'm saying it does matter, actually, and examining who is impacted by that delta.
In this case, its fair to say that nobody directly benefits from making a process more convoluted. Indirectly, republican politicians and citizens who identify as republican stand to gain from that delta b/c its going to create more road blocks for the people that would be voting against them.
I'm not going to have that argument with you. You can go back to school and take every class in the sociology department to get a better grasp on why X leads to Y.
if they decided to really start cracking down on cocaine, it would affect white people way more than it would POC.
if they decided to make it actually somewhat difficult to obtain automatic weapons instead of just giving them out like candy to anyone who can see over the counter, mass shootings would happen less frequently, and there would be fewer mass shooting casualties.
if they started cracking down on people who drive like douchebags, you would be seeing a disproportionate uptick in bmw drivers receiving citations.
in order to have any sort of meaningful discussion (something i know you have absolutely 0 interest in) both parties have to agree that some things just are what they are. I'm not going to debate you whether or not water is wet, or the sky is blue.
