Once you get experience under your belt, and make contacts....incorporate yourself and go into contracting!!!

If you incorporate yourself can do B-2-B contracting and it can be quite lucrative and you do get to make your own hours, etc.

If you can get into Federal or DoD contracting, that's steady and VERY good bill rates....if you can get a security clearance....VERY VERY good bill rates.

This requires either full time work, and jobs will dry up, or making one's own business which requires paperwork and keeping track of money. This paperwork is handled by a "worthless" degree.

Incorporating yourself and forming your own LLC or S-Corp company and doing a little paperwork is not rocket surgery and everyone that is an adult should be able to handle basic finances.

None of that requires a degree.

Yes, compete with people here illegally who will work for cheap. Sounds like a good idea.

Well, to be fair...we're in the process of throwing those folks here illegally out of the US and making it harder for them to work here.

These jobs should and would go to US citizens if the artificial lowering of wages you describe did not exist.

Glad to see little David's hammering the Goliath's.

Local towns should really be doing it themselves as well. 'Buy Local' means more than food. All that money stays inside the community.

Unfortunately here in VA the Goliath's literally bought laws to make it illegal for a municipal broadband system to offer service at prices below any existing providers....and to require any proposed system have a business plan with profitability in year ONE.

Very Definition of Regulatory Capture.

Sure wish I had the expertise to do this...lol The market for Comcast hatred is what one calls a 'target rich environment'

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

Or as we call it, Newton's inverse square law, where the force of gravity on any two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Space is really really really really really big (the observable universe has a diameter of about 93 billion light-years), so it is literally impossible for any combination of mergers to have any effect beyond an infinitesimal region of the universe. Even a galactic merger which caused two supermassive blackholes to merge would have little or no measurable effect on a neighbouring galaxy as far away as Andromeda is from us (about 2.54 million light years away).

In fact, it's not until LIGO that we have even been able to detect the mergers of super dense and super massive objects like neutron stars and black holes, just to give you an idea of how the inverse square law limits the influences of gravity over very large distances.

Why is it so important to you that he gets credit for the vaccine when he was more than happy to disavow his administration's botching of other aspects of the pandemic response like testing. His exact words were "I don't take responsibility at all" and blamed (of course) Obama of all people. He only takes credit for successes and blames anyone but himself for failures. Our country is screwed because millions of people like you cannot acknowledge that, let alone call it a character flaw.

Why would you think the Trump administration's program for developing a COVID vaccine has anything valid to compare with the Biden administration? Were you expecting Biden to make them start over so he could try to do it faster? That's actually the kind of petty, self-sabotaging, ego-driven thing Trump would have done.

Can you name one republican that could win a debate with Pete Buttigieg ?

Vance would wipe the stage with Gov. Pete.

I'd like to see Byron Donalds out of FL to be VP for the Republicans besides Vance as POTUS candidate.

I don't think the Dems have anyone that could touch either of those folks in any sort of debate.
