I think what we're seeing is called "learned helplessness".
Sure, but WHY did they learn that? I recall back in 2003 skilled people having a very hard time finding jobs. So much so that many people were out of work for more than a year. The environment is even worse now.
Did you somehow entirely miss the part that the nephews older brother - in the same generation with the exact same upbringing - is doing fine?
So, because one person in that "generation" was able to do fine, everyone else should also be fine? I am uncertain of the logic. Just because something is possible, that does not mean it will happen regardless of any efforts to achieve. There are guaranteed to be at least 10,000 people who want my job and are, provisionally, capable... and yet they do not have it. Are you saying that there are enough jobs to go around because it looks like that is what you are implying here.
Notice the number of re-masters coming out recently and how songs you play on streaming services from the 80s and 90s from big artists don't sound how you remember them? That's because the artists re-record them due to the copyright coming to an end making minor changes from the original so they can refresh the copyright to that song and continue to make royalties from it.
This is... utterly untrue.
Reperforming the song is not going to change the end date of the copyright of the work by a single day. The copyright term was fixed when it was created (if a corporate work) or when the author dies (typically 70 years from that date) for anything for the last half century or so.
As an example: Bohemian Rhapsody was written by Freddie Mercury who died in 1991. The copyright is going to expire in 2061 and no amount of re-recording will change that.
Liberated from the rails at last! Free East Palestine!
From Pittsburg to the Lake!
Remember when the internet was the best communications tool ever devised by man instead of just another way to funnel advertising to you and a mechanism to control what you are allowed to speak about? I do, too.
Everyone pile into the trades just in time for the next cyclic construction industry bust.
But ultimately, the US is still the largest economic engine in the world, no matter what fucking morons sits atop the executive throne.
There is absolutely nothing that the USA offers that can not be found elsewhere for purchase. If we abuse our trading partners, why would they continue to trade with us? At some point, the rest of the world is going to say, "fine, keep your tariffs, we will not participate, there is nothing more to negotiate"
There are over 7 billion people on the planet and the USA doesn't even have half a billion people. The USA occupies a relatively small piece of land compared to the rest of the world. What happens to the USA when the rest of the world says, "fuck you, we won't negotiate anymore"?
Apparently, both yourself and Trump have something in common: you both think that the USA is the center of the world, not merely the wealthiest and most powerful.
Ukraine has been under fire for over a decade now, children are murdered by ruzzian orcs every day, so is anyone else unlucky enough to be hit by a drone launched into civilian infrastructure.
Israel must win and not let any terrorists annihilate itself.
Ukraine must win this and not let any terrorists annihilate itself.
Let's see how dedicated to your morals you really are: Do you support the Cherokee Nation killing every single man woman and child in the Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina geographical area? Or how about the Navajo Nation killing every single man, woman and child in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona? We could do the same for Europe, including Ukraine which were originally another people that were displaced through agrression.
If I am a terrorist sympathizing scumbag, then you are a bootlicking genocidal maniac. The only difference is that I do not support violence as a method of acquiring the things that I desire. Apparently, you do. Even against children. How are you any better than the Ruzzians and Palestinians that you so clearly hate?
it is typically considered good critical thinking to prefer the statements of a body of experts on a subject of their expertise than it is to prefer the statements of Joe Blow, Keyboard Warrior.
And even that can be destroyed by a conspiracy amongst the professionals as we have seen numerous times. Especially when someone powerful, say the petrol industries, is wanting a different result.
Which results in people only trusting themselves. The fools don't realize that they even trick themselves, but the Universe does not have to stay a permanent mystery if people are truly dedicated to finding out what state the Universe is actually in. After all, it is how we have seen a human walking on a gravitationally separated body.
4. Identify their true identities and work the legal angle from there
What legal angle? Unless they're inciting violence, conspiring to commit crimes, or similar, these assholes have the same right to free speech as anyone else.
Well, that is how communism was framed. communism was the great evil, the killer of capitalism and religion
Which was pretty silly. Communism should have been framed more simply and accurately as the killer of massive numbers of people, mostly through starvation, but also through ideological purges. Fascism can't hold a candle to Communism in terms of death toll. Neither can religion, at least in absolute numbers. In the more distant past religion did some serious large-volume murdering on on a percentage basis, but the total numbers were smaller then.
Clearly, lifetime plans only mean the company's lifetime; even then with bankruptcy and restructuring the company may live on while the lifetime plans die...
You sound like a creditor calling the child of a recently deceased person asking to paid for the chocolate pudding you delivered to the recently deceased a month before they died. They are dead, let it go. That is a risk of commerce and 'credit'.
This sounds like a dystopian horror film.
It very much could be; however, I have seen this in action first hand. The manager of the restaurant walked out to the parking lot to invite us in. He asked my friend how he was doing and asked about his children and while walking inside, discussed some of my friends interests. Obviously, he could not ask anything about me.
This type of service is absolutely NOT desirable to me; however, it made my friend feel somewhat important and "cared" about. It made his meal MUCH more enjoyable for him.
To me, and apparently, you, we see the abuses inherent in the system; however, that is not why the system was designed.
There's little doubt that the spread of disease from Europe to the Americas lead to many deaths, but with germ theory being something like 400 years in the future there can be little blame placed on Columbus for this, they just didn't know.
While I am not necessarily disagreeing with your conclusion, how you arrived there is suspect: Do you not recall plague blankets being given to the Native Americans? Granted, those were not given by Christopher Columbus, but, they were within his time.
According to data from the Center for Immigration Studies (pro-immigrant), many immigrants work for extremely low wages, which are then subsidized by taxpayers through public assistance.
I do not know what country you are talking about but it is NOT the USA. I have been homeless and starving and the only help I was able to find was a middle finger. Which programs, please specify EXACTLY, are being used to feed illegal immigrants? Where does their funding come from? Which Congressional bills authorized it? If it is not government funded, why should anyone give a fuck?
You read a tweet and believe. I read a tweet and demand proof.
Crazee Edeee, his prices are INSANE!!!
