Inspired enough to protest individuals, but not enough to learn the skills needed to be paid the 4x wages they cite the parasites move to SF for.
Imagine if all that rage time was spent learning rails and mobile development.
- akira2501 13y agoWell.. if it hadn't been for the cock-sucking bubble in the 90s, they might be alright today.
- primitivesuave 13y agoGrowing up in the 90's, we sure did love to get our cock sucked. Our generation has grown up though, now all we want is for our kids to be watched and our floors to be mopped.
- spacemanmatt 13y agoTBF we also want our cabs driven.
- ajkjk 13y agoThis pains me to read. Are you really so convinced that the techie crowd got ahead from its own savvy and motivation and everyone else is too lazy to do so? There's nothing like writing off huge swathes of people based on an utterly distorted view of reality.

- troels 13y agoLucky timing?
- clavalle 13y agoSeems like saavy and motivation are both key ingredients for 'lucky timing'.

- stefan_kendall3 13y agoI'm not writing off "huge swabs". I'm writing off anyone with enough time to form a formal protest but not enough time to do anything with their career but drive cars and wait tables.
- bluthru 13y agoI don't think these particular protestors are being productive, but what you're describing doesn't scale. Not everyone can be a programmer.
- mmorett 13y agoFair enough. Then they can go to medical school. Or law school. Or be an accountant. Or an investment banker. They could take up the trades (electricians, plumbers, carpentry). Maybe help animals--be a Veterinarian. Work on the dark side...be a mortician. Be an airplane mechanic or a civil engineer. Dispense drugs...be a Pharmacist. Build bridges and buildings. Something tells me they will find an excuse for why any and all of those options presented are not options to them. They are professional complainers.
- bluthru 13y agoI'm not sure if you're intentionally sidestepping my point or not. We're always going to need people to do tasks that don't require education. Being a janitor isn't punishment for not "working hard enough". We're always going to need janitors and other workers. They're valuable members of society who help make civil life possible.
