I think your playing fast and loose with the notion that people can just be w/e when very few people have the natural ability to think.

Yeah I am playing fast and loose with it, because it was literally a matter of choice, not luck. I started with exactly zero attached to my name.

and its not that he 'couldn't work in his fucking field' its that his field was being supplemented by imported foreign labor, dickhead

make a cult

about multilevel marketting cults

I don't care if people can't work in their preferred field, they can enter a new one

turn every manager into a cult leader and you at the top of the ponzi scheme

Are we talking about 70 y/o people with dementia? No, this is about young, middle aged, and so forth

there, thats how you make money

oh, okie dokie, then you don't get to fucking cry when people want to put millions of insurance company employees out of jobs

?

*they can just find new jobs*

Yeah, they can

cool, no more private insurance scam companies, lets do it

I mean I'm honestly baffled by people's approach to profession

They sound like they're stuck in a wheel

yeah, its called learning and refining a skill

and investing in it

I could yell at them "just step out of it and move on" all day and they wouldn't listen

They're literally fighting against change

"No I can't" = usually "no I don't want to"

an extremely negative change, in the circumstances we're discussing

Making money in a different job is a negative thing?

being fucking shoved out of a market by foreign labor is a negative thing, Mr citizen of the fucking UK

I still don't care, your dad had the option to find a different job elsewhere

He could even create his own business if he had the skillset for it, just like anyone else could

Did you know that most entrepreneurs never planned to start a business?

so mass immigration is no big deal either

alrighty

No, it is a big deal

I would argue that there's an unneccessary amount of instability in the market because of them

But that doesn't excuse people's allergic reaction to change

well imported labor is what comes with it, whether you like it or not

In the face of poverty, you bet I make sure I don't drown

And if it means doing a job I hate for a year or two or even ten, I fucking do it

so ten years of your life, outside the field you learned and invested in, that's just fucking peachy for you

I'll tell you this much

happy fucking times, is it?

I hire a guy every few month to unclocg my sewers

you'll have me believe you're just fucking fine with that sort of 'change'

i've never ever haggled with him ever
