i think they are just starting to realize that the economy has recovered enough that they don't have a bunch of industry vets looking for any job in the field
especially when i looked at people in my class back in the bachelors, jesus some of those peoples programming skills
which i believe is where the whole "25 years old and 20 years experience meme" partly came from in the last 10 years or so.
i'm not sure what started it but it sounds reasonable
they had people with 5-10 years experience willing to work entry level
although fields like programming where not as affected
they actually experienced some growth
maybe is a secret patriarchy thing 😏 since wamen haven't been in high supply STEM fields 10-20 years ago
totally the answer
no other alternative
programming experienced growth because the world moved to the internet
If you want a business outside of your local area, you need a website to attract people etc
exactly
as a programmer, you can all but pick where you want to work, and probably find a job there.
more websites means more safety, more networks
More companies that needed IT support, networking and protection
and then you can pick where you want to live, and work from there.
truely we are the new saints
"yeah, i live in Florida working for a company in Canada"
"how does that work? don't you need to go into the office?"
"Why? the computers are not stored there nor only accessible from there. Its cold up there, why would i go there?"
but getting back to that socialism question
I honestly think the issue is that most of the new people aren't properly informed, they're just told to go to college for a job
Not that it highly matters how valuable the trade-skill is
And then they racket up a big debt, with no valuable degree, no job
And then they think society (or government/powers that be) failed them, because they were promised a job and good income
and a Capitalist will say "well thats your fault"
A socialist will say "Yeah, government failed you, lets replace it"
So who'd you pick when you're down? Someone else to blame? or you?
i concur.
add to it problems like cronyism (lookin at you ISPs), bad or outdated policy choices (why can a politician retire with full pension paid out of tax payer's money at like 58? when i won't be able to retire....maybe ever?), and scared/panicky people
yes
AND, no one to fall back on for some comfort safety
Lots of people in my mind no longer have like, true friends you can have fun with,
Or family for that matter
also a lot of these people grew up in the middle of a recession, where there suddenly were no jobs, and they needed help, and seemingly could not find it, while well off people seemed to go unaffected (at least when you cherry pick examples)
no social net to fall back on to take your mind off, so you can relax, and then take on the problems again
yes, community is not very strong anymore
cuz i think thats why SJW's tend to turn rabid really easily
Because they're feeling attacked non-stop, everything they see every moment of the day is offensive/problematic and needs to be dealt with
They don't relax, so they are just stressed 24/7, which makes them sick, so they get even more unstable and restless
until they just melt down
and scream helplessly at the sky
well, thats another problem. a generation taught by there parents that life should be cushy, and safe.
my ears are burning 😛
when life is nothing but constant struggle, even when you are doing well you still need to fight. No one can really coast (although people do have it harder than others)
thats another thing socialism sells. a kind of stability.
which is why is also doesn't work. because entropy wins every time.
not gonna lie, i'm pretty much a dictionary definition of what "white privilege" would be coined as by SJW's
never had money issues, parents are together and reasonably wealthy, i get college and other costs paid for,
I'm not pushed into getting a job, or sporting etc
only difference is that i'm very aware of it, and have seen what life like that makes of people
So i actively don't get used to it
eating (somewhat) healthily, working out every day, programming a game in free time
😮
