Comment Pay to Play Society (Score 3, Interesting) 728

This is what happens when you have created a pay-to-play society like here in the US.

Education these days is nothing more than another form of corporate profit and requiring college degrees for even menial jobs is nothing more than a method to force people into a form of indentured servitude.

How's that you say? Well debt == enslavement and where is most people's largest amount of debt outside of their home? Debt which can not be discharged by declaring bankruptcy? Student loans.

Now be a good slave and get in line to get your expensive degree so you can work at McCrapphole corporation.

Here! Here!

There was a time when HR was simply an organization that made sure everyone had benefits, but as the years have progressed HR has become an increasingly detrimental behemoth in many corporations; directly getting in the way of finding and hiring good people by utilizing lame algorithms that are supposed to filter up the best candidates.

What is so freaking funny about the whole thing is right now you could be a genius in your field like my wife and not get a single interview due to these crappola job sites that most HR uses these days.

The only reason why my wife is not getting any interviews is because she decided to take some time off after working at a very stressful job in child welfare for 5 years; coincidentally at the time the economy started to tank and at the time HR decided to blanket reject all resumes where the person shows they've been out of work.

So very ridiculous but this is what happens when people who don't understand technology implement it like they are some kind of technological experts and I for one can say without a doubt nobody in any HR group I've ever encountered is a technological genius, much less even technologically savvy.

But whether or not Democracy falls is a small issue in comparison to the real worry, a potential future dystopia humanity faces as the machines rise and data compilation rise and a truely free press falls. Person's like Warrnen Buffet should be leaving their fortunes to the establishment of a global, non profit press outlet beholden to humanity, not governments and corporations. Voting machines? Hell we got bigger worries.

Obviously NOT because not even the poster RTFA - or at least did not comprehend what is says because the title of this post is 100% inaccurate. The court sided with the government, she will have to decrypt - the court refuses to hear any arguments until either a conviction or aquittal is made in the case.

Forget what I said. the f'ing /. site was f'ing up as usual and the link when I clicked it went to a completely different page which had nothing to do with the current link, it was about some woman, not a suspected child pornographer.
