Lol

Lol have a good night @JDMOONAN

Legend over here snacking during stream

You know the phrase, “cheaters never win”, we should change that to “poor cheaters with no power never win”.

I have a feeling that any party created henceforth from the republican party will be smeared and slandered by democrats/socialists so they can hold onto their power they so desperately stole.

Anything anti-socialist is dead in the water at this point in my opinion. How can we overcome the corruption if the corrupt are so infused in the system? You know?

I am normally looking to the horizon with optimism, but in this moment... I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

They only way to fix it is to tear it all down, but who will stand when millions are afraid of standing alone?

We all have so little faith in another to stand with us that we shrink back into the shadows hoping for a strong leader. At least that is how I see it.

No one wants to be the poor bastard standing up alone and taken out without even a whisper or an effect.

I really think antifa were the ones who went into the capital to slander the protest and paint it in a negative light to further push the socialist agenda of quashing the opposition.

Why save a ship that has already sunk when a new one can be built?

The country as we knew it is over. There is no saving this ship. We need a new one... a better one.

One without lobbyists, special interest, patents, and copyrights.

The problem is humans are fluid, no ideologies mesh perfectly. Joey, for instance, has the ambition to step up, but his views are not always aligned with my own.

Transparency and open source through and through. At least within the medical and education institutions

So how do you build a new ship if the designs are contradictory in some aspects?

We don’t want to create another system of “well... close enough” for beliefs or we will end up in another 2 party system compromise.

The constitution needs some help... more protects for the current age. The corruption has found pathways that once never existed.

Yes, but stability is essential in some cases, changing fluidly based off of what you hear, experience will not always instill confidence.

We got to this level of corruption because of loopholes and flaws. We need to find those and seal them up if we have any plans for a brighter future.

I am going to go to bed before I get to infused lol

I am not the leader the people need, but rather a deep thinker and a problem solver.

Definitely not selling myself short, just accepting of my own limitations

Too true @Humanoid Typhoon

My belief is you should only use the methods and tactics utilized by the others to challenge. Anything beyond or less is necessary. Fight democracy ideology with democracy ideology. Fight republic ideology with republic ideology. Fight totalitarian ideology with totalitarian ideology.

Unnecessary*

Play the game being played, you know?

I am all about integrity

I agree 100% there

Goodnight everyone ☺️

I shall

Education in this country is abysmal at best. My daughter is in a Charter school, which is at least a slight improvement over Public School, but I still worry for her education.

There are aspects of potential protection for our education institutions, but those protections could limit diversity of topics and freedom of information. I just wish there was a way to mandate fact only delivery. No propaganda or opinions.

The question is how is elimination of indoctrination communicated through legal language without limiting liberties? There is a freedom of press and speech granted by the 1st amendment. Anything contrary to the broad envelope created by the language is automatically unconstitutional. So it seems propaganda is even protected.

Lol figures...

Democrats seem to be predominantly ideologues. When they are challenged the backlash they bring is chaotic.

Conservative ideology is practical and based off of historical understanding. When the status quo is challenged, they panic.

We need a mix... an ideological basis with a strong root in tradition

Ideology wrapped with emotions is child like and representative of immaturity. Realistically, an assessment of emotional response to challenge should be a determining factor in assessing a person’s compatibility for holding a governmental position... lol

Oh no... definitely don’t want to control ideology, let it be fluid. The problem is when emotions are in the mix.

The primary difference that I have noticed between many liberals and conservatives is where the blame is placed. On one’s self, conservative. On others, liberal.

I agree

It’s unfortunately cultural

Monetary status seems to contribute to cultural divide, but socialist ideology is no solution.

Monetary status is aided by self-empowerment and factual education.

Cultural divides exist because many are told they are powerless. Education is to blame solely for that mindset.

If we as a society overcome victim thought, then capitalism will flourish.

Corruption and propagandist education happened

What ideas do you have for job place reform?

Ah... minimum wage

We need to get rid of that crap

Pay people what they are worth and what they contribute... not based on “political correctness feeling fixing” crap

Regulations and high business tax limit available resource allocation. When combined with minimum wage, the available funds to pay based on merits is limited.

I agree

Ban unions too

The foreign crap needs to stop in my opinion. Seeking out cheaper employment and punishing companies with higher taxes for employing internally makes no sense.

The ceo needs money to grow the company and expand services/products. Limiting his/her funds makes no sense.

Why?

He created the company, right?

There is a whole other solution to that issue other than limiting the ceo.

Self empowerment allows the individual to understand they are not a victim and do not have to maintain employment within a company. If they feel the ceo’s values do not align with their own, they have the ability to leave. If enough were to believe that and leave a bad ceo, he/she would be best suited to change their style and practices to suit his/her employees. CEOs are held up by the workforce. If they have no workforce, they have no capital gain... and thus no business.

That was the issue back before the unions were popularized. People believed they were victims and had no choice in the matter. So they begged the government to allow representation from unions to “punish” ceos.

The terrible education people receive limit them from understanding their own power and capability.

Those who are successful know one thing very well. Their own effort and drive is what makes or breaks.

I have a terrible habit of procrastination, which is my own problem and what limits my own ability to succeed.

Yeah... tuition rates are another travesty.

But... in all honesty... the belief that you have to pay exorbitant rates for a good education is what allows private and public universities to charge those rates. If people understood their education is in their own hands (internet) and they don’t have to get the most expensive degree at the most expensive school to be “recognized”, then the tuition issue would solve itself in time.

Ignorance and victim thought gives power to these institutions.

Schools are a business too and if they have no students, they have no business.

A smart ceo will adjust rates to compete.

Yep

Ignorance at it’s finest

The people in the US are way more powerful than they believe.

US exceptionalism is a real thing.

It definitely sounds unfair, but do you have to stand for it? Nope. You have the freedom to go work for someone with integrity. But it all depends on situations of course.

It sounds like you are in a government job?

Slightly limiting... relocating would probably be required if you were to find a comparable position at a different company.

Unfortunately, not everyone can relocate.

So I see where your grievance could be stemming from

Does the company you work for have a monopoly over the area?

Yep. Relocating

If only there were more energy companies to enable solid competition and choice.

I used to live around Round Rock, Texas and the beautiful thing there is we had a plethora of energy companies to select from. Going into Austin though... there is a monopoly.

Makes sense. Sorry to hear you feel stuck.

I hate the idea of schmoozing, but have you considered it?

Getting to be good friends with the boss

Sadly, the biggest issue in workforce is there is a heavy “who you know” influence.

Hmm

Have you directly asked him to pull some strings for you?

Does your company offer a career development map?

It sounds like you’ll need to hound your boss for internal resources and string pulling. He needs to be your advocate and right hand man on this.

Do you know why?

See if your boss can find out more info on why you weren’t selected.

Ahh...
