Ayyy no more dying in child birth and vaccines to the rescue! Not to mention better child labor laws.... And it all comes full circle

Nah dude I totally follow you. To add on to your hypothesis, more families now are going up with 2 working parents and are subsequently raised in an alternative setting, whether that be a baby sitter or a television/iPad. Conversely, as you mentioned constant relocation for jobs, I think there's a factor of not starting a family at all Becoming a more popular option - but I actually think thats not just a good thing but a GREAT one. As you said, grandparents will be less involved and I agree, not only due to location but by massive age difference. And without a family baby sitter, actual baby sitting services and day care can get wildly expensive. Like 2nd mortgage expensive in my area. I'm totally down for less people breeding, but I feel it fuels into this idea that industry/production is a lifestyle. I respect people that work hard, especially long hours but at what point is it "slavery with extra steps"? If we've been developed to not desire a family, does that make us work harder or less hard? What's the motivation for working at all if you can provide for yourself if that's the only responsibility we have? ...got a bit rambly there...

And while I acknowledge that the numbers have improved, forgive my reluctance to accept that we can't do better

Social media has turned me cynical I'm afraid

The posts I responded to didn't say anything about income inquality, they were saying salaries were higher when households had a single income. In response, I show that salaries declined in large part because most modern households have dual income, which is highly correlated with increased female participation in the labour force. No, I don't think it's weird, I think it's answering the question that was asked.I wouldn't call this "blaming the female worker" so much as objective truth that if typical households double their income (by literally having a 2nd adult becoming a full time worker), it will significantly affect things like real estate and job pools. I feel like we breezed pass responsibility of misinformation a little quickly. One [wagon] can cause a LOT of damage. Let's check out the reason the anti-vaccine movement started for instance. http://www.jennymccarthybodycount.com Real website. Outstanding presentation why stupidity should be routed quickly. I agree that limiting free speech is dangerous, but shit like this should have a warning label. If McDonald's needs to iterate "CAUTION HOT COFFEE" on every God damn coffee cup they serve people like Alex Jones and Jenny McCarthy should be forced to label their content with something like "CAUTION I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M SAYING" I've always enjoyed this thought exercise: imagine how dumb the average person is. Now understand that half the world's population is dumber than that.

Take for example, Alex Jones. His whole persona is stirring up absolute bat shit insane conspiracy theories, but then he's surprised when the "schizophrenics go to these people's[parents of Sandy Hook victims] homes and threaten them" (his words) If you are lucky enough to build a fan base with a large platform, it is your responsibility to use it for good and not evil. Spreading dangerous propaganda should be met with resistance and the influencer should absolutely be held accountable

This is probably the most intelligent approach to anything that is as complicated as national employment trends - Admitting that you don't have the answers. What I find most frustrating is that someone somewhere has hard factual data on these things, but it's always impossible to find through all the garbage and bias of other people's thoughts and opinions. I wonder if nepotism also adds to the "bleak" factor in modern job hunting.

Yea but someone with that many followers has a fair amount of influence. It's like idol worship, anything people with that many followers says has significant consequence due to the broad range of the audience. It's irresponsible to promote something as dangerous as anti vax when your voice carries that much weight (or at all, but especially when you have a platform) One idiot is bad, but an idiot feeding thousands of uninformed others is tremendously dangerous

She is indeed married and gave birth to a child. she meets the correct criteria and materials of both wife and mother

As tribute to Keith Flint, I've been listening to The Prodigy discography again. The "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" album is still top tier

Update: she read my dms and removed the posts lol

I picked a fight with an Instagram model just now because she was touting anti vax propaganda. Let's see if she blocks me

I believe you're correct, I just don't like to concede that there are literally a million people without employment. A million is such a huge number of anything. Also fun fact, the US active armed forces numbered 1.28M in 2017 with an additional 800K in reserve (and 17M people were deemed "available for service"). In other words, by population alone the United States unemployed forces would be a considerably scary army.

So what would you say the threshold is for dangerous levels of unemployment in America? With a 2017 population set at 325.7M and a 2018 unemployment average of 4% that would leave something like 1.3 million people unemployed. Not to mention this figure completely ignores under-employed people. Even if the modern projection of 3.5% trend continues, what would you guess an absolute number to be where unemployment becomes significant?

Which sounds good, but as population increases I fear that available job markets are stagnating. Even if unemployment rates stay around the same number, that only means the hard figure of actual unemployed people is growing

New Motley Crew song with MGK is actually decent

We need a new labor movement. Everywhere should be like this. We have so many valuable unemployed workers, while the employed population is basically indentured servitude. While having a car is good, McDonald's is about the last place I'd drive it

You're salaried, no such thing as overtime work

Bold. I like it. You're hired.

If you're not playing MTG Arena, are you even living?

Watching the Alex Jones returns episode of the Joe Rogan Experience right now. I don't like either them. Holy shit is it a trip though.

Just in time for Pokemon Sword and Disappointment

They think they can threaten to bomb India with nukes as if it wouldn't erupt in wwIII

Lol I'm now imagining a girl coming to your room and being confused as to why it looks familiar
