  1. No one of any significant rank in the US military thinks you're going to anything other than a sovereign country, either. I've served beside your countries military for nearly 20 years. While I don't think an actual attempt is at all likely (though I am concerned for both Panama and to a lesser extent Mexico) Even if an attempt was made, it would not be successful. It's obscene that the conversation is being had at all, but despite how badly they are generally treated in Canada and by Canadians, your military is more than capable of defending your borders and your sovereignity.

  2.  @josekaram755  being born someone else's child is far from doing anything smart, hard, well or better. It's luck that's rewarded as character.

  3. Bailing at the last minute is one of the ultimate passive aggressive low status power move. When someone has very little to no power within a hierarchy or really anywhere else, the ability to go ahead and disrupt somebody else while "reclaiming" time for yourself is a huge flex on a small frame.

  4.  @lisa9867  speaking ss one Marine to another, you're doing EXACTLY what drives the kids to say "ok Boomer." It's NOT THE EIGHTIES, MARINE. It really ain't. I came out of the Fleet in 2012, out of the uniform last year. We have LCpls NEEDING to draw foodstamps to feed a family of two kids and a spouse Because base housing is not existent, commissaries are by and large shutdown, and housing and food is so goddamn expensive. The overwhelming amount of fast food does not pay $15 an hour. There are in fact very FEW pockets of the US where that's the case. The majority of my citizens in the city I work in, work multiple jobs to make ends. No one suddenly became too good work. It's that in the FOURTY YEARS SINCE the 80s, things have changed, changed for the worse, actually gotten harder, and the work is harder for less money adjusted for inflation.

  6. Yeah I'm really having a hard time understanding the kind of indignance and self-righteousness you get from an employer who will tell you to your face they will pay you wages that will not let you make ends meet. "How dare you ask me to pay you something to live on?" Isn't how they want the argument phrase but it sure as hell what they are saying.

  11. The thing is, there's no requirement for you not to take pride in your accomplishments. Pride can exist alongside of acknowledging all the people, things, qualities and situations helped you succeed. Let me say it another way, there is somebody else with all of your advantages or more who didn't do as well as you did in part because of their own choices. And there is nothing about advantages that does not make your efforts easy to have done. Usain Bolt is a more gifted athlete in every way then I ever will be, but that fact does not invalidate the difficulty of my challenges or the difficulty of his. Go ahead and be proud, just be humble about the advantages you had. That's really it. "This was hard work and I was lucky to have the help that I had to be able to achieve it" is a phrase that doesn't lessen the person who accomplished something but acknowledges the advantages they had to get there.

  28. "the big portion of Young people who are conservative." There is no such animal, the young trend strongly in the direction of progressivism, to state otherwise is to make clear you're either consciously refusing facts and evidence or bad at math. Pick. And to the question "how far left?" 1950s Eisenhower Republican financial strategy wouldn't be a bad start. And since THAT'S going to be attacked as "leftist" That's pretty obvious that there's no discussion to be had. The conservative parties in the United States have made it clear that power politics is the game they want played. If we win and it is an if, YOUR kind set the rules of engagement, years ago. Now you get to enjoy being on the receiving end.

  32. How does that change the objective statement she makes? And it's also objectively wrong. Her net worth is known and there's no metric by which she's truly wealthy. She may have a great deal more money than you. But there are actual percentages to this and she's not in the top percentages discussed. So. 1. She's not part of the formative aspect of the oligarchy & 2. Whatever her socioeconomic status, her objective statements are still accurate. So you brought nothing to the conversation except a left of the bell curve attempt at discrediting someone. Why?

  33. You're not sorry. But you are a very poor example of a human being.

  34.  @myopinions1  objectivity is a non-existent self delusion in individuals, a fuzzy goal in systems and a fine and worthwhile principle to have as a personal goal so long as you can understand that it's beyond your actual ability. No human is objective, nor can be.

  43.  @YandereDay  now THAT is real talk. On the other end of 16 years in the military, I'm not exactly an active proponent of folks enlisting. For all the benefits the military has given me, after 20 years of war I'm still not certain that the calculus is balanced in the direction of it being a good idea. But the absence of trade training in schools is directly matched by the amount of money available for all throughout the United States. There's really good work out there not being done by trained tradespeople. We should have never cut that out of the education system.

  59. "there is nothing you can do overseas that you can't do in your home country." This is the kind of statement a diet of paint chips produces. If somebody is the kind of human being that can't find a new experience in travel, and encountering different environments and the different cultures that live there, they're not going to be learning much their home country. But that's because they're a window licker, Not because travel isn't useful or beneficial.

  65.  @Sunnybunnypi  are you a citizen of the United States? Because EMS makes significantly less the most law enforcement (I say this having worked both jobs) While most trades make significantly more than both of those. Being electrician, or plumber is a borderline license to print money. More than a few former officers I worked with ended up leaving law enforcement for long-range trucking which also paid better. Less so in the north, but down here in the southeast HVAC also pays quite well. None of this is an opinion. It's very easy to go ahead and find regional and national income levels. Trades are where it's at.

  87.  @julissadc6303  Not actually born out in the data. Whether it is by certification or degree, more people have been focused on STEAM based degrees than ever before. It's almost like while education certainly helps you be more marketable There are significant problems inherent to the economy themselves and the businesses that are a part of it, that make even the highly educated struggle.
    2
  88.  @peterparadis6788  There is no one issue. That said, The abusively high cost of education as a part of the commodification of education as an end-all be-all is definitely a huge part of it. You're absolutely right about that.
    2
  89.  @peterparadis6788  I didn't feel that way too much. I think for YouTube comments, we've managed to keep things more civil and productive than most. My counterpoint is that we can't completely understand which degree fields actually benefit the most, and some that are considered low productivity turn out to actually have significantly higher productivity on a longer time scale than is assumed (That data is contained within that article article I added.) Since the market already favors steam education, and k through 12 already favors it, I think that we could reap broader benefits by simply opening up more education in general (post secondary and trades) let the individuals pursue it without the crushing debt that comes with it, and reap the benefits as they come, while being able to hedge our bets against the potential downfalls of overinvesting in one career field versus another.

  90. "the girls don't want kids" Because the fuckers are expensive, everyone's got to work a job or three, they're EXPENSIVE, plenty of men still don't want to pull their weight, THEY ARE EXPENSIVE, and long-term penetration of birth control methods and consciousness of motherhood is not being the end all be all the female experiences allowed for other options.

  94. Private schools have not been proven to do better on an educational standpoint. Funding public schools equally across the board as opposed to funding them by neighborhood taxes that create better schools in one area and where schools and others is significantly more impactful than any kind of voucher system. There is no benefit to making a business out of that education or commodifying the education of a populace.

  95.  @davidg9091  I'm not in the hope business, Dave. If and I do say if because I don't know what you want, but IF your preference is to assume you're screwed no matter what and there is no point to fight, nor heart to fight in you, that's on you. I'm sorry you're in that space. It's not a good one. Me, I'm for fighting and building. If I can move the needle however much to the progressive, then I will. If I can make the bastards of the world get even a little less of what they wanted, or hurt even a few less others, than I've won. They have all the advantages. I have myself and those that are willing to organize, come together and fight in whatever way they're best at fighting, and build in whatever way they're best at building. But I would challenge you like this; if there's a one in a million chance at winning something and all the other chances mean you lose.... You still CAN'T win without taking the chance.

No (And there was ample opportunity, we were a dual enlisted marriage when we were in our respective services) and 6. Yes. Now about that data. Where does it come from, and what measure were taken to develop it? How rigorous were those studies? Can you cite the papers? How deep did you get into the methodology? Sample size and such. Was it controlled across race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, etc, etc. Because I actually don't particularly buy into some very poorly supported assumptions made by a collection of cherry picked "research" that have sample sizes of "two dozen college kids." Or "The 30 people we could get to pick up the phone." It is not terribly difficult to believe that someone could find themselves in the trades because of their military experience, and someone else could find themselves in tech because of their military experience and still have a happy and healthy functioning marriage on the other end of it. And I have found that when you dig into a lot of these research, it comes up rather thin, at best.

  127. Out of curiosity, assuming it is so terrible in those cities (And I have every reason to believe that it is, it's a persistent source of grief in Atlanta Georgia, I can only imagine how bad it is in Athens, Greece.) why isn't the critical amount of pressure being placed upon local politicians or state politicians/federal politicians to do something about that? I'm not blaming the people that live there so much is trying to get insight since I don't live in those countries.

  128.  @apitxada  we've started to experiment with an alternate solution here in the United States. It's so far only been applied to medical insurance, and I'm pretty suspicious of it working due to lack of engagement and high cost of adoption. But I got to admit, on a purely emotional level the first attempt was very satisfying. We'll see how it turns out. I worked pretty hard to be able to afford what travel I now can, and I desperately want to see some places, including your country and city because their stories and their present are both meaningful to me. I don't want that to come at the expense of making you or your neighbor's life miserable. It seems kind of shit that the solution is just not to come, but it's also shit to throw my hands up and not try to be part of the solution. Seems rather shit every way, TBH. I hope the best for y'all regardless. Thanks for replying.

  129. He has the power to do whatever he is allowed to get away with. And 166 million US citizens of voting age decided he had all the power he needed to do whatever he wants. The 77 million who voted for him and the 89 who didn't give a damn enough to vote. Courts wouldn't stop him, politicians certainly weren't going to stop him, and 2/3 + decided that he was a better option than one of the most qualified tickets in the last 50 years. I really hope everyone who decided to stay home and not do the right thing suffers at least as much as anyone else. Of course hope the worst for those that supported him but the ones that couldn't be bothered to vote against him? There's literally nothing bad I couldn't wish on them. You don't always win. The good guys don't always win. People spent decades stuck in Spain after Franco solidified power. Then he died. And life to an extent went on. Everyone got to pretend like the dictatorship was just some crazy thing that happened. Everyone who collaborated, everyone who was a active part, every francoista. United States refuses to embrace any kind of solidarity with anybody who's not like them. We do this across the board. It's not just whites that do it, though they're probably the ones that do it the most. But there is no broad sense of solidarity across any majority of the United States. So we're going to burn, because we could not be bothered to pull together.

  140.  @HosCreates  Those apprenticeship times are regional, and vary from state to state, but yeah there's definitely a training time for them. Law enforcement requires an academy, But I make roughly what your spouse does as an officer in the Metro Atlanta area. I have a degree, but one is not required. I literally worked beside people who are 22 years old who started this career with no further education, two people in their 50s with Masters degrees. Sanitation, also requires no previous training. Pay is less than what I'm making now, but it is a living wage in the Metro Atlanta area. However plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and HVAC all will outpace my pay scale over tiime.

  167. Used the term "virtue signaling" which is 9/10ths of a way to a write off right there. Use accurate words. Fully explain without using dog whistles or shorthands. If you have a particular bias, whether it is a bigotry or merely a preference, explain it. Own it. Have the courage to carry your own convictions in clear language. And for the love of god, try and learn a little bit about relative economics. The thing that makes "well back in my day" arguments so fucking tired Is that we are not back in your day, and things have actually changed. Somebody's who's 20's were in the 90's, and somebody who's 20's were in the 10s and somebody who's 20 s were in the 70s all had extremely different lived experiences financially (and otherwise.)

  168. What you just said is that you did not understand how difficult it is to save money in the United States if you live underneath a certain socioeconomic level. I don't mean this is an insult, unless you've lived here for a while and are pretty familiar with poverty, or even non-uper-middle class life, it can be incredibly easy to lose side of that difficulty amidst all the other wealth in the United States.

  186.  @peterparadis6788    What industry are you a manager in that your position to hire? Because if you are in one, then hire that way. Overwhelmingly, that is not what people are doing. Reducing access to education has never benefited any country in the history of ever. Yeah the situation that has worked most significantly, globally is to increase access to education, while simultaneously increasing access and support for trades education along with childcare and retraining. You are absolutely right that education now leaves the educated with an enormous monetary debt. It is still the most significant single act that can boost someone's earning potential. Until employers change the calculus on that, it's unconscionable to start denying access to it. I mean actually it's kind of uncomfortable didn't I access to education under any circumstances. It's also bad mathematics given the economic impact of having educated population.
    1
  187.  @peterparadis6788  There is no metric by which an educated populace does not benefit the entire society. Providing post-secondary education gratis for the individual citizen, either means adjusted or not, pays a net significant benefit on metrics of direct economic productivity, health care costs, civic involvement, decreased criminality and innovation within the society. The only way those benefits can be massaged out of the numbers is to remove the externalities to a degree that is so gross you would have to call it basic corporate/conservative economics. Those models take any kind of externality that they do not favor and yeet them into the sun, well simultaneously doing everything they can to ignore related drops and cost for healthcare and other areas such as criminality. These aren't opinion driven conclusions, there are literally hundreds of large cadre studies out there from multiple countries producing similar comparative results.
    1
  188.  @peterparadis6788  And it's not just lower crime rates. Someone with a four-year degree of exactly any kind seems to cost less medically over the course of their entire life, to an extent that is absolutely mind-blowing. Seeing as skyrocketing healthcare costs in our inept health care system are some of the biggest societal costs there are, this isn't a small deal. Similarly they save more. Financial responsibility outside of the original investment in education is higher across all degree fields. Also they are slightly More likely to be civicly involved and significantly more likely to vote, and vote across specific group interests. That is to say, it seems that more educated people vote a bit less selfishly.

And do Latin and Muslim outreach. And for gods sake learn how to canvas better. And run a broader candidate spectrum (on a variety of axii) .... so yeah. Not likely.
