@JesseJames It's a lot to do with their parents. My mom, to this day, nags me to go back to school, even though I'm worth more than half my cousins, despite being a decade younger than most of them.

Brainwashing the natives into thinking they're too good for skilled labor brought about the current immigration crisis' in the West

check your PM regarding job @JohnStrasser

Thanks guys

Seems basic 2 me...maybe not BUT can advise abt plumbing, gen appliance & HVAC, household fixin, pool chem/equip, workers' comp, dealing w landlords. I'm a Jack of Weird Mishmash. Much on youtube, but have in field insight/'secrets'. DM if want. Will help as can.

@John O - ya the older generations are to blame for a lot of bs if you ask me.

FUCKING BOOMERS

Remember that Socrates was a stone mason. And most of our founding fathers were either tradesmen or farmers.

Sense it relates to the convo the place I works puts people through trade school to get you're Lpn nursing. It's a 2 year contracts I'm thinking about do it next year.

FVTV get a 608 HVAC certification. It's fairly cheap and easy and it leads to a plethora of job opportunities

@JohnStrasser

Noted, thanks sir

That talk about the trades needing folks is absolutely true. Nearly all the unions are hurting

They're being essentially forced to take immigrants to stay viable

Work ethic has been diminishing since Gen X

But the boomers are only half right in their criticisms

The effort to pay ratio is often shit for most trades where you aren't your own boss.

As we say in the automotive field, you're getting paid to kiss but they're trying to fuck you.

@von Raudenbusch PA is the only state where I would ever do Union work. Every other Union state is full of the laziest pieces of shit.

Every union has slugs

Doood

It's way worse in NY though

90% of unions are corrupt politicized pieces of shit anyway

They all backed Obamacare so they could gut benefits and leave the boomers high and dry

The only useful thing about mine is that we get 40 hours guaranteed flat rate pay a week

Come to a right to work state, white man. Let the Socialism lite fail while you real your reward

One thing about unions is after Charlottesville I heard of a few guys getting doxxed and losing their job. Of course they weren't get out of the union but I'm sure it will follow them around. Johnny monoxide being one of them.

@JesseJames The TRS guy, right?

Ya he is on mike and the mad wop and paranormies. On episode 1 or 2 or mike and the mad wop he gives the whole story of what happened.

I really don't consume TRS stuff. I'll check it out.

I do when I need something not so serious and comical to enjoy between listening to audiobooks.

I'll probably catch flack for this, but I'm not a huge fan of Mike. I should probably check out the other ones, but I just haven't yet.

Check out fash the nation. For sure a good one and definitely not like the daily shoah

@John O - Are you fullpol?

@JRobertson wut

Just joined the group. I don't know if someone is already hosting a discussion on tracking, animal field dressing, shelter building, etc, but that is my field.

Also, is there anybody in this group interested in buying land to practice these skills?

@jaybird1#1419 check out the <#322712657973215233> channel

Thanks, will do

@jaybird1 if your in the upper Midwest I have land we can practice on, I am also a ranger moderator, welcome to the server!

@Brandon Ironside- ND , yes, I'm in Wisconsin. I'm hoping to set up a survival retreat and confidence building courses. I'm ex CB Navy, but I have extensive experience in long range shooting, medicinals, shelter building and primitive fire.
