You're using anecdotal evidence to argue against the general case.
Consider the book "Laughter is the Best Medicine". Some guy's cancer went into remission when he watched a whole bunch of really funny movies.
Given that, would you suggest that we should do away with chemotherapy, radiation and oncology surgeons?
- dalke 12y agoYou started off by saying it was difficult, then used an example of where it was easy. Given the existence of Craigslist, Monster, Stack Overflow Careers, etc. over and beyond what was available 30 years ago, it should be easier now to find employees rather than harder. You need to demonstrate that it's actually harder. Under your analogy, you haven't shown that the people actually have cancer in the first place.
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoCraigslist, Monster, Careers 2.0 are the problem, not the solution. At one time I only had two ways to look for a job: under "Computer Programming" in the Yellow Pages, and in the Sunday San Jose Mercury News. Now there are vast numbers of job boards, newspapers are going bankrupt because craigslist job posts are completely free of charge in most cities, and no one even knows what the yellow pages are.
