Where is this wealth coming from though? The other countries aren't producing anything, everything is being produced by America. America would have to produce everything both for the domestic market and the entire rest of the world. An

If you gave me a million dollars for a piece of paper and I gave you a million dollars for a different piece of paper we just generated $2 million in economic activity. It seems like a stretch to call it a net positive. Economic activity is

This argument never made sense to me. Why would the rest of the world being poor cause a huge middle class in America? Why would the rest of the world recovering cause the US to suddenly get poorer. Like post post ww2 say we produced 1 car

Even this is missing the point. While they try to distract us with the price vs quality of tvs, the cost of college and housing has skyrocketed. 60 year ago, a 20 year old guy with a high school education could support a wife and 2 kids. To

I got lowballed by a certain washington state based company. Was no where close to that number. Edit: was slightly lower than the number the sibling comment mentioned.

Why make the exception for that state? None of the people applying for jobs were involved or even alive when it happened.

How many of those are bots? How many are teenagers? How many are playing pretend? 90% would be a conservative estimate.

They make nice music. I enjoyed it. But it is hard to get famous making this style of rock music these days. Even 20 years ago when this style was more popular it was still tough to stand out from the crowd. It wasn't enough to be good

What will you do about ghost jobs? For example I see Microsoft has a bunch of generic software engineer roles listed, despite them just doing huge layoffs. If they were actually hiring they could have easily shifted existing workers into th

You aren't cursed with a slow metabolism, you have just been having too many calories. If you are truly never hungry but still not losing weight, then why not reduce your calories by 200-300 a day?

One of the benefits of having a lot of scandals. Will get buried in the noise. Those that care about this kind of stuff already hated meta, those that don't care won't start caring now.

A lot of that "economic growth" is stuff like flooding the US with opioids, burning mountains of gas and coal to produce crypto scams, and chaining people to the office 60+ hours a week to produce reports justifying their "im

I suggested this to a coworker at my job and he responded as if I had slapped a baby. I guess it is like telling a hammer company that a screwdriver may be the better tool in some use cases.

Why is he posting on indeed instead of just posting a sign in the window or just putting the word out if "everyone knows everyone"? Especially for a $10/hr restaurant job?

Is pretending you are going to do good work but you know you are incompetent also fraud? How about the company pretending it is a good place to work but they know it actually sucks to work there? Just throwing the word fraud around at thing
