@MothersBasementGaming , something that gives you challenges where you have responsibilities. If AOC failed at her bartending jobs someone does not get the right drink. If a business owner fails a company goes under and people loses jobs.

@dollcrazy300 , professors aren't really there to educate but more to guide and support. A good professor will teach you to become independent.

They don't hoard all that money.

@interfilamentar413 , I know there is more to it then that. I support government regulations, but they should be local because at the local level it is the community working together at that point. And if a local community chases off a rich person that rich person will remain in the states. I am not a defeated person. I work with many intelligent people, some who are rich. The problem with the far left is that they are not too bright and thus it become the far left, who are not bright, attacking the rich who are very intelligent. Who do you think is going to win that battle? The rich, and they will do so by screwing people over as opposed to serving people. To give an example in the Bay area of CA football officials are independent contractors which is common across the nation. One official got hurt and claimed that the association they represent should pay for disability as required under CA law. The association claimed that he was an independent contractor and they don't have too. A Santa Clara judge ruled they did. So what does the association do? They require now that all schools pay officials on cite and thus the schools make the officials file an I9 and a W2. Typically what happened in the past was that the schools pay the association, the association paid the officials and gave the officials a 1099 which has many tax write offs. But now things change making things work for officials. You see this in many cases. Someone idiot plays victim and ruins it for all.

@ViciousProphet , I actually tip very well.

That, or one of the most dangerous roles in society.

@mannysikario , teach what? To regurgitate things or to think deeply and be independent? I just taught my students instrumentation and in doing so I let them read the manual and figure it out themselves. When they had questions I was there to answer, but I challenged them to figure it out themselves.
1
@mannysikario , what is the value of a grade? To me very low. When you consider college the most value comes from connections you make and recommendations. Also learning from your mistakes. Consider someone with a 4.00 GPA but has no connections, recommendations and never really made a mistake. Do you want to employ that person? Too many people view college as an extension to high school. So again, it comes down to teach what? I could have sat there and did all the experiments for my students and showed them the results, or have them do it and learn from their mistakes.
1
@mannysikario , I will explain things to them, but I encourage them to read up on it first. After college you should be able to self teach yourself. It isn't about passing or failing the course. Passing with a D is one thing. But compare an A student to a B student. Or even compare a A student to a C one. I had one student, who percent wise, should have received a C. I gave them a B as they put forth a lot of effort, they just struggled with the material. I rather employed them then one of my other students who breezed through the course easily with an A. Why? Because someone who works hard I can find a use for. And if in the end I can't in a company I am running, I can point them to a company where they can succeed.
1
@CephalicMiasma4 , true, and that is my point. One student I had received an A and did so by working very hard. There is a lot more to it then grades.
1
@CephalicMiasma4 , eh, depends.
1
@mrjollyguy25 , I agree. What's your point?
1
@mrjollyguy25 , being a professor is valuable. But from what I said at the very beginning, it can be dangerous as they are there with young, impressible students. But it does beg to question why she was a professor as so many different universities and could not stick to one or two?
1
@mrjollyguy25 , also, being a professor does have lower standards then what people think. Many universities are understaffed and simply place warm bodies in front of students as opposed to people who know what they are doing. Also, think of this logic. By universities standards when you earn a PhD apparently you know how to teach a topic. I see that as flawed.
1
@jasonross6727 , no, I support both.
1
It is either stocks or in banks. That money is in the economy. Banks can only hold onto 10% of their reserves. The money is pumped into the economy.
1
@alexander_sinclair , it doesn't hinder production. If you pay for something don't you expect something back? For example, I just bought a new car. I paid $8500 for it. I expect to get, at least that much value out of it, if not more. Now that is subjective but that is how everyone acts.
1
@alexander_sinclair , everyone is trying to generate profit for themselves, including you and me. Should I earn zero dollars a day? Or should I break even? No. Neither should a business. If a company is not going to make money on something then they won't invest. Finance majors study time value money for a reason.
1
If you attack the employer the employees is what suffers.
1
@TerrariaGolem , the percent of those working more than one job is low. Also, how many do it out of choice for extra income to spend on fun things or for enjoyment? I have a second job that I do for a hobby but still get pay. Wealth disparity is arguably a sign of strong economy.
1
@ryangoepfert9112 that isn't what caused the great depression
1
@ryangoepfert9112 , there were a lot of factors by mainly the federal reserve. Wealth inequality is arguably a factor of a great economy. For example, yes, Bezos is very wealthy, but he got that way by making millions of people's lives better. Also, understand what wealth is. Wealthy people have it tied into their companies. Bezos actually have little cash overall. Also, another reason we have wealth inequality is because so many have debt for large expenses like a home loan or a college loan. A person with no debt and only $10 to their name has more wealth than 25% of the nation. The fact we allow people to take out loans so often shows the strength of our economy as people are willing to lend. So no, wealth disparity is not a major component, if at all.
1
@ryangoepfert9112 , so you don't have an argument.
1
@ryangoepfert9112 , I believe in research as well. Even Ben Bernanke admitted the Fed caused the great depression.
1
@ryangoepfert9112 it wasn't just him. Plus why do you refuse to listen to experts?
1
@roger9685 , ever heard of the book "How to Lie with Statistics". You can't just throw a number out there and expect it to mean anything. On that 80% how many live that way because of poor money management? He never explains that. As for the people earning $30,000 or less what is their household income? What benefits do they have? What is the cost of living they have? A major problem with Kyle is that he will pull out one stat and then make a strong, appeal to emotion statement with it along with a strong conclusion when, in reality, there are many factors at play. For example, I earn less than $30,000 a year. I just bought a new car with a three year warranty. I live by myself and I am fine. Now I will eventually get my PhD and earn more, but right now I am in that less than $30,000 stat along with most of my colleagues. So again, dig deeper.
1
@zynnfindo4776 , well, most of my colleagues and myself don't have kids as we are not ready. I am not claiming there are no people in poverty. But to say that 50% earn $30,000 or less and that is a bad thing is way too vague and removes many variables in the argument. What about a teenager earning, say $5000 a year at a fast food joint but lives in a household with parents who earn much more? What makes you think I will have large amounts of debt? Besides that, when I am earning around 6 figures I can pay it off quickly. And how do you know your story is not unique? Out of the many students I have taught, which is around 300, only around 4 had a kid. I feel your situation is unique. Older students who may have a family are called "non traditional students" for a reason.
1
@roger9685 , I am not new. I have watch Kyle for a long time. He just repeats the same handful of stats over and over again with no detail and no in depth analysis. What was wrong with what I said? Again, on the 50% earning $30,000 a year or less, why doesn't Kyle bring up cost of living? Why doesn't he bring up household income? Why doesn't he bring up benefits? You can't throw a number out there and expect it to mean anything. You have to dig deeper. Kyle never does that. He throws out one number and then makes a strong conclusion based off of emotions. When it comes to healthcare he is really bad at that. But again, what was wrong with what I said? Why doesn't Kyle bring up cost of living or household income?
1
@roger9685 , so no counter argument to what I said? I bring up legit points. Of those earning $30,000 or less, what is their actual situation like? Again, cost of living, household income, benefits, etc. You blame me for talking points but in reality that is all Kyle has. I am asking questions to obtain more details,why can't you accept that?
1
@zynnfindo4776 , because a teenager in the workforce is a part of that 50% earning $30,000 or less. You can't just throw numbers out there and expect them to mean anything. Why has the cost of college gone up? One argument is because the federal government has subsidized it a lot. Again, the term "non traditional student" exist for a reason. How many students are going to college and raising a kid? What guarantee I have? Well a PhD in a STEM field along with an MBA. Seeing several of my colleagues earn that after graduation. What did your friends get a Masters degree in?
1
@zynnfindo4776 , you are throwing out numbers with zero context. Go ahead and remove the teenagers, what do you have? Give me the data. Also remove those who live in a household with a primary earner that earns more. The median household income in the US is around $59,000 a year. And that is nation wide that does not include cost of living and benefits. Why is that if the median earnings for a wage earner is $30,000 a year? Because there are other factors at play. Define a "living wage". I don't mind the for profit system of college education. Look at beautiful college campuses are. They have gyms, living quarters, restaurants, etc. I do feel I get what I pay for in my college. 2008 was a recession. Also, if you have those advanced degrees and can't get a good paying job that is on you.
1
@zynnfindo4776 , what is the poverty line and why? Have you considered that? Poverty can be subjective in many ways. And saying no one should be in poverty is the same as no one should have cancer or get sick. It happens. We try to reduce it but many factors happen to create that. You can't just point to someone in poverty and make a claim that a better system will save them. There is more to it. That does not align with what you said. Say you have someone earning $10,000 a year and someone earning $50,000 a year. Ever thought of that? Again, more to it then what you are presenting. "A living wage is the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet their basic needs." Define "basic needs". I have experienced a lot of struggles. Let us see recently. My car broke down and I had to work to find a new one. I suffer through major depression disorder and from that engaged in bad habits that put me in major debt. I suffer through alcoholism off and on and when I drink heavily my anxiety goes up. That is just to list a few. But I don't use them as an excuse.
1
@zynnfindo4776 , I support lowering poverty, but again, it has to be properly defined and we have to consider why someone is in poverty. You bring up "living wage" when only around 2% of people who work full time year round are in poverty. Most don't work. So wages are not the problem. And how much of it is due to mental health? How about you tell me what basic needs are. You are pushing for the living wage.
1
@zynnfindo4776 , I agree it sucks, and I struggle. If you really get to know me I am all for helping out society and push to do so. My issue with many on the far left is that they refuse to dig deeper on the issues. When you just scratch the surface you can't progress. To progress, such as lower poverty, we have to dig deeper.
1
@zynnfindo4776 , not so much increasing capital but increasing production. You can give more money to the poor but if the supply isn't there you haven't accomplished anything. Mental illness is more valuable to tackle then the working poor as I feel poverty and homelessness is a factor of mental illness. To me what causes problems in mental illness was the establishment of the Community Mental Health Act. There the federal government got involved and thus many states backed out causing problems. The problem with basic needs is you say things like housing. Ok, what kind? A one bedroom apartment by yourself or a studio with 3 other people? Transportation of what kind? I walk to work so I really don't need it. That is the other problem of basic needs, it is subjective.
1
Ok, sure. And the economy will fall apart like it did under him. When successful people leave you are left with nothing.
1
@interfilamentar413 , here is the reality, the rich are going to be rich one way or another. To me there are two choices 1. Expand the laws in government with "regulations" that get exploited by the rich where they get rich and harms the working class 2. Have a free market system where the rich can only get rich by serving the working class as opposed to relying on the government Take our pick.
1
Kyle really needs to stop talking about healthcare. A universal healthcare system has just as many flaws as well. Also, I love how he claims a federal program like the military is a villain and corruption at the federal level, but his solution is to expand the federal government. Far leftists are like the spouse in an abusive relationship with an alcoholic. Their solution is to marry them. When that doesn't help they next have a kid with them. It is sad.
1
Being a bartender is not really a "real job". It doesn't prepare you to deal with complex issues.
1
@jasonmartin4775 , how so?
1
@kaif-tube1692 yeah, but that only influences her and no one else directly. That is the point.
1
@kaif-tube1692 i am judging on experience.
1
@MothersBasementGaming really? If that is tough and all you deal with you have an easy job.
1
@vantianhergheligiu12 , how many of those in restaurant and retail are part time and temporary? You can't just throw numbers out there and expect them to mean anything. Also, the whole point is that AOC is going from being a bartender to a federal politician. That is the same as having someone take high school level physical science one year and then take quantum mechanics the next. Way too big of a jump and not enough experience. Miners get paid 6 figures and work incredibly hard and dangerous jobs.
1
Selarom Ogeid , how did I move the goal posts?
1
@MothersBasementGaming ok, does a bartender have to deal with equipment worth millions of dollars that is misused can literally kill someone? Does a bartender have to deal with project that can cost an organization millions? Does a bartender have to come in at odd hours if something messes up? I worked in a fast pace environment and still do. How about the pressure of your peers and superiors judging you while you defend your work?
1
@MothersBasementGaming , to add, being a bartender does not give you experience in handling policy as you usually don't experience what policies do or influence situations.
1
@User-re6im , yes, every job has challenges, but some have a lot more then others. That is the point. In the end of the day she goes home and that's it. She isn't the owner where an owner, even if they operate at a loss at one point, still have to pay employees. Or an owner has to worry about new laws and taxes that influence their business. She doesn't have to worry about those issues. She doesn't have experience. That is why she has no problem pushing radical economic plans because she has no clue what other people deal with.
1
@MothersBasementGaming , again, none of those are real pressure. .And none of those give you experience in actual policy or what goes on in politics or the business world. You can learn to deal with people and multi task in many jobs. Big deal. Now did she learn the influence of policy on society? No. That is why Tom Homan was able to own AOC by citing actual laws where AOC did not even know the law. Homan has experience. AOC doesn't. To give you another example, I work in science for a living. When AOC starts talking about climate change it is clear she has no clue what she is talking about as she has no experience in science or what scientists actually say or think. On another example, I know the head of IT for the entire education program in my state. We had a discussion on why some areas do poorly in education. For example, the Bay Area struggles because teachers can't afford to live there. In NV they do poorly because you can make $80,000 a year parking cars, or 6 figures working in the mines. Where is the incentive to become educated? In MA they have Boston University, MIT, Harvard, Boston College, etc. That culture there is motivated by education. So it isn't the system, there is much more to it then that. You won't know that unless you take your time to read up on it and talk to others in the system, or experience. AOC lacks experience, period. That is why she sounds foolish. That is why Homan was able to rip her apart as she has no clue how to read and understand laws.
1
@MothersBasementGaming , I disagree. Being a police man has you knowing what the laws are. But with a janitor or stocker, yes. Again, it comes down to experience. Do you have a job where you have to deal with policy, law, and how it influences society. AOC does not have that experience. That is why Homan was able to own her. AOC does not know how to read and understand law.
1
@ugeofaltron5003 , Ok, so if I had a job flipping burgers at McDonalds that makes me qualified to be president? Again, no experience dealing with law, policy, bureaucracy, etc. That is the experience AOC lacks which is why she is not getting anything done and why people view her as a joke. Far leftists have no standards. No wonder they support radical ideas with no thought. Have fun losing.
1
@MothersBasementGaming , never said that. But nice strawman.
1
@MothersBasementGaming , I really don't get your far leftists. You have so low standards, and you wonder why your candidates continue to lose and why we have Trump as a president. You support a girl who's only experience is being a bartender. She rallied with others across the nation and they lost. Remember when she was going to turn KS red? Real winner you have there.
1
@MothersBasementGaming , he has a lot of political experience. Running major corporations means getting involved in policies passed by politics. Noticed how he knows a lot of politicians as well?
1
@MothersBasementGaming , no, I set the same standards for all, including myself. I will admit I am not ready for a federal political politician.
1
@MothersBasementGaming , he does. Managing major corporations and actually having conversations with many politicians. He has a lot.
1
@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295 you can gain experience in the public sector
1
@beaverones41 , you are twisting my words. To start, on the 10%. How many people, percent wise in our nation, actually works as a federal politician? How many actually run a company with success? Or run a company period? Very few. That should say something right there. Most people simply don't have the desire to do so or simply can't. It comes back to the saying of if starting a business and becoming rich is so easy, why don't you do it? The issue of people losing jobs when one person fails is one of many examples of a job with responsibilities. I worked in the service industry. During the time you are clocked in it may be hard, but afterwards you are done. Ever worked a job where you are always on the clock? Where when something happens you get called in and have to take care of it? If something happened at the bar AOC worked at they won't call her, they will call the manager or owner. She will just be sitting at home with no worries. I never said part time jobs were not real jobs. That person talking about people who work in restaurant alluded to people working there to earn a living. I brought up the point that many are part time. To expand, they most likely live in a household with someone else who earns more money. How much you get paid is a big factor in the job. The more you get paid the more challenges and responsibilities you have. If the bar AOC worked at had an issue and a customer complained who will handle it? A manager, not AOC. That is why managers get paid more. Sorry, but being a bartender does not prepare you to working in Congress. What challenges did she face? What responsibilities did she have? The far left has zero standards.
1
@MothersBasementGaming , yes it does. He also had to work with them. Talking to engineers gives you an understanding in how they think. Not saying you will fully understand but you will have some understand. AOC's issue is that she doesn't interact with people outside her bubble as in her district or her supporters. That is why Tom Homan was able to own her. Maybe she should talk to a few lawyers and understand what goes in making a law and how to read and understand them.
1
@MothersBasementGaming , how was he really bad?
1
@beaverones41 , to add, I got into an argument with someone at work. They are hourly and I am salary. I talked to my supervisor about it and he laid it out straight, as an hourly worker they are not career oriented and him and me. AOC, as a bartender, was hourly. She clocked out, went home and did whatever. I, as salary, is basically always on the clock. I come in at odd hours to get work done and will work until I get it done no matter how long it takes. That is another issue. As I pointed out in another comment, the guy I work with who is in charge of IT for the entire education system in the state is salary. The night before testing he received a phone call about issues with IT. He had only a few hours to fix it and it was late at night. You have to know you shit to be able to handle that. As a bartender did AOC ever had to handle tough issues like that? No. That is where she lacks experience.
1
@MasterofFates , when she doesn't understand policy due to lack of experience that is the issue. Look at how Tom Homan owned her. Look at her GND and her lack of understanding of technology and overall society. Do you really think electric cars are possible in the rural part of the nation? Oh, I forgot, she did a video driving through there ridiculing it as if they are not important. AOC is a loser.
1
@ReaperCheGuevara , I agree we need younger politicians, but not radical ones. The democratic party is in a dire situation. They are filled with old people and radicals. Look at the top presidential candidates? All over 70 where two are really showing their age. During the last midterm many young democrats won in the primaries but they were radicals and thus lost in moderate areas. What the democrats need to do is push younger moderates if they expect to win in the future. I feel they are going to get stomped in 2020 to where that push will happen, hopefully.
1
@altapedroza3604 , not to prepare you for congress.
1
@beaverones41 , I agree with you to a degree on the first part. You do have career politicians like Bernie, and soon AOC who don't do much work and have a cushy life. That is one reason why I feel, that at least for the Senate, there should be term limits. We should elect people base on their experience. When we elect them we are hiring them. You can have all the ideas you want, but if you have no clue how the system works then it doesn't matter. I am always on clock, but I do have some flexibility to come here. Writing these comments don't take long.
1
@whyispinkysoinsane7898 , you have issues bud.
1
@feebleterrance , a lot of jobs do that. But again, in the end of the day AOC clocked out and went home. When a major issue came up in the bar she worked at she did not have to handle it. When a new law or tax was proposed she did not have to handle it. If the company operated at a loss for a week she still got paid.
1
@whyispinkysoinsane7898 , so you are going to make fun of my issues I face everyday? Is that how low you are willing to go?
1
