I stopped working for my Dad when I realized he was only ever using me to save on taxes.
I'd been doing jobs for him since I was twelve, but he never trained me on anything. I was told to do something (usually clean up) and yelled at if it wasn't done correctly. I figured that this was just how work was (and, yeah, pretty much).
It came to a head when he outright refused to train me. I was working part time for a contracting business he had, prepping the work area for the main machine and feeding it, while he ran it and did the finishing. He was starting to feel his age and had some medical incidents that made it hard to work so I offered to learn the rest of the job so I could take an assistent and do them without him, and he could focus on advertising and paperwork. First he told me he didn't want to risk messing up a customer job, and fair enough. But then we had an opportunity to do a job on his own property, so I asked him and he just says "I'm going to do it (the job)".
I realized he never had any intention of training (or raising) me to become as competent as himself, that he was actually jealous of me and saw my success as a threat to his position.
After that I said fuck it, I'll find someone else to work for who actually wants me to succeed (which I have, multiple times) and never worked for him after that.
Edit: On the actual mentors, I didn't meet them until my mid thirties, in trades. I never saw anything like mentorship in STEM.
Usually I would only work for a company for a year or so just to get it on my resume and find a place paying better. When I started at this company, I had gotten my first raise (12%) in the first four months. I was specifically chosen to work with the pro crew; the one that would be tapped for particularily difficult or sensitive jobs and the crew chief was my favourite boss ever. He'd been doing the job for decades and knew it inside and out. He had all sorts of tricks and tips but, more importantly, an attitude towards work: "it takes as long as it takes, but we're a premium company; it has to work, and it has to look good". He never cut corners to get out early, always made sure to leave sites (read: the customer's homes) in mint condition, and encouraged us to answer any questions the customers had, even if it meant taking a bit longer.
The company thrived and I worked there five times longer than any other place I'd worked. Until the boss sold and it went under new management.
I really don't see the difference between crypto and fiat currency, except that with most existing cryptos you can't just print money arbitrarily.
My big worry is that they're roll out their own coin in which transactions are centrally regulated, meaning they can do what ever they like; from denying specific transactions, to having money expire, to printing it. But that's exactly what you have anyway, if you rely on digital currency (credit/debit cards). We saw this in Canada; they can just turn your savings off and that's that. Why do they need crypto?
And went where? They don't disappear (or relinquish their power), they just buy a house in the Caimens or Ireland to dodge the taxes.
Any attempt to tax the rich will disproportionately affect the middle class who actually pay for roads and hire people. I'm not against making their lives harder but do not make the government stronger to acheive it.
Luigi Mangione never got a single claim approved; this chick is a hero.
Lol, yeah, as if government insurance would be less fucked.
In Canada, it is actually illegal to provide private healthcare (except crystal healing, homeopathy, reiki, etc, so long as you have a loicense) so what happens is: you just don't get it.
Rather than you getting your operation or procedure and then having to deal with the money situation, you get put on a wait list with the hope that you die before your turn comes up. If this causes you pain, the government introduced Medical Assistance in Dying (the government can take my life, but it's still illegal for me to be an hero on my own terms).
That's your entire choice under government healthcare: wait to die of preventable disease or opt to take a dirt nap voluntarily.
Remembet when China stole all the state of the art telecom tech from Canada and now we all have to deal with spyware in our 5g infrastructure?
Looks like India's about to do the same for AI.
Yep, I have no doubt in my mind that he'll cut all the programs he got rich off of then drop capital gains to zero.
They're all self-serving but at least I know exactly what he's going to do so I can plan for it.
Have you seen the sun higher or lower at different times of the year at any lattitude on Earth? This is just the extreme end but yes, we have all seen this every single year.
How...how could one pole have a 24 hour day and not the other?
I think it's an important step for all budding conspiracy theorists to learn about FE so they can differentiate actual, fact-based conspiracies from fantastical speculation.
Lol
But also, why would you use these if you were intending to do something nefarious? Cars have vins that can be linked to purchasers and at the least need a human driver so if you don't have plates, you increase the chance of police pulling you over. You can build a drone that flies semi-autonomously with no identifying info if it's captured.
Only law-abiding citizens would ever use these.
People driven to seek the best for them. And best is not always profit.
Profit is required to keep existing. Hunting food returns the profit of meat; if you didn't profit by hunting, you wouldn't hunt. The same is true of any organisation.
Government allowed corporations to influence people's understanding of "the best" so, that they will buy anything corporations made.
Government has no responsibility to manage people's understanding, it's the other way around. If corpos can influence people, they can influence the government as well. This is on us.
If the government is responsible for anything, it's putting kids into schools that teach them to believe whatever they're told by an authority figure. But I'd blame the churches before I blamed governments for allowing manipulation.
And this big bosses will always have money and tools to buy or destroy ones that stand for "good reputation"
It's not about "big bosses" it's about outside (((capitalists))). I'll work for a company with 1,000 employees if it's privately owned by the person who started it. The problem isn't size, it's structure. When you have a public company, it's run by people who don't know or care to know anything about the company other than that it makes them money, which they use to buy the next company.
The reason that this always looks the same, for the past 70 years, is because it's the same people every single time. All companies use the same "marketing" strategies, even when they fall flat, because they're being told to by the exact same (((shareholders))). The last place I worked used word of mouth and reputation and doubled in size while I was working there. Then it got sold to someone who didn't understand the business and now it's floundering.
Manufacturer make shitty stuff and force customer to pay constantly for the things that could be made reliable and easily serviceable by customer without any additional payments by customer.
You have to constantly pay for maintenance of equipment no matter what, either to the original manufacturer, a service tech, or your own time.
The one thing I'll say the government could do (and already should have done) is vigorously uphold property rights, especially regarding so-called "intellectual property". If I buy something, it's mine. I should have every right to fix it, reverse engineer it, even publish technical documents to sell to others, like Haynes manuals.
But, again, this comes down to personal psychology; people don't want to fix their own stuff, they want someone else to do it, preferrably for free, and they don't care if that means they'll get screwed down the line. No amount of government will fix that.
Like it or not, our system is sustainable. It will keep going for a long time, albeit with much less prosperity. Government could prevent or disincentivise capital investment but that would mean building companies would take much longer and still ultimately result in less material wealth that we have now.
The reason it looks like everything is collapsing is because we've been in a bubble for at least 50 years. It's going to stabilize, but if we ever see prospertiy like that again, it'll be the precursor to another crash.
You've got it backwards. Humans are innately driben to seek profit and our systems of government exist to make the best use of that drive.
If you can incentivise maintaining a good reputation, efficiency, craftsmanship, and companies as long term communities, you can have those things. Our current system does not because, while companies usually start this way if they're successful, they'll inebitably be bought out by (((capitalists))) who have no idea how anything works but still consider themselves the boss because money.
That's why I always try to work for small business, even though they pay lousy and expect a lot compared to big organisations.
Castro clones?
What does 286 signify according to the Kabbalah?
The problem with crypto, which gold doesn't have, is that it depends on government to exist. If you lose internet, power, or simply can't access a computer, it's worth nothing at all.
At least with gold you can bludgeon a checkpost guard or something.
Remember your Jew lore. Three things destroy Jews: garlic, Christianity, and sunlight.
Exposing someone as a Jew is the same as destroying them because, once exposed, they can no longer hide among other people and work their Kabbalah magic. Without any other way to sustain themselves (because they cannot "stoop" to physical labour) they whither and crumble to dust.
You're literally genociding them, you monster.
Anywhere where words have more influence than actions, Jews will control
The flu shots, which started around this time, were really Covid 0.1: it was a nothing burger disease, which only really effected the elderly, and resulted in a yearly "vaccine" that didn't actually stop you getting the flu.
When I was am edgy teenage I read the Bible, cover to cover. At that time my attitude was "Hur dur, sky daddy can't actually live in the sky".
As I get older, I realize that everything in the Bible is true, you just need to figure out what it means.
Other than to allow the EUA for the mRNA injections?
Back to the real question: what exactly was in those shots?
Well, I wonder if the mass infantilizing of our young adults has an influence on pedo rates.
My grandparents never played video games or watched cartoons but it's not even uncommon among my generation for childless 40yos to do both.
Am I crazy, or were paid congressional staffers actually sent to Mexico to train caravans on how to work the system for refugee status?
Both they and their bosses need to be deported. Make Canada a prison camp for traitors.
AI operates by aggregating millions of samples.
AI asked to help with school.
AI tells student that they are not needed and to kill themselves.
Where, oh where, did it get that idea?
On one hand, I think that having to learn everything for ourselves has made millenials much less worried about uncertain times because we know we van figure things out.
On the other, I wonder just how much knowledge we've lost due to pointless hoarding.
