2·2 days agoThere are six self tests in the book. Things like math, mechanical problems, leadership, etc.
A product demonstrator, a nurse, and a hair stylist all need good dexterity and good people skills. Three totally different jobs with similar skill sets.
“Discover What You’re Best At” by Linda Gail.
I found this book when I was out of work due to an injury. You can do the self tests in half a day, and the jobs they suggest go from entry level to college graduate. When you can get up on a rainy Monday morning and feel okay about going to work you’ve solved most of life’s problems.

I’ve met some MAGoo Civil Servants.
I’m sure he’s happy somewhere, knowing people are still enjoying his writing.
For you, I’d suggest ‘I, Robot,’ by Isaac Asimov.
It’s a short story collection with a bunch of logic puzzles. the writing is clear and easy to follow and the conundrums are engaging.
Reminds me of a Billy Crystal joke.
105 year old man and his 99 year old wife go to the judge to ask for a divorce.
“Are you sure that you want a divorce at your ages?”
“Yes, your honor, we haven’t been happy for a while and it’s time to end things.”
“Why did you stay together for so long?”
“We were waiting for the children to die.”
I immediately thought they were talking about weight.

“Lioness” with Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman is a weird combination of spec ops porn and Left politics.
“Lioness” refers to a CIA program to target the wives/sisters/daughters of major terrorists. Kidman runs Saldana who in turn runs the teams on the ground. Their latest target is top financier of terror and his daughter is getting married soon…
In one episode Kidman tells Saldana that the West’s leaders are too stupid and cowardly to get us off the oil habit.
You also ignored the fact that Obama made a treaty with Iran regarding nuclear weapons.

The ignorant tend to ignore a lot of things, hence the name.
Are these iranian WMD’s in the room with us?
You’re the one who specifically mentioned Iran and ignored Israel.
The best solution is the cheapest. Get a good quality safety razor and disposable double edged blades. Much less waste and the best shave.
Funny. Israel has never admitted to having nukes but you have no problem believing that they do.
All I know is, if I were the Iranian PM and I knew that my enemies had WMDs I would be building them.
I mean, Ukraine had nukes and gave them away and look how well that turned out for them
List is from 2019, I’m sure more have followed

The judge found that Trump committed rape. The fact that he wasn’t tried for that crime doesn’t change the facts.
Iran has WMDs and so does Israel. As much as Iran loves to talk about destroying Israel [and vice versa] both sides are aware that they aren’t going to survive a full on war. Look at the Cuban Missile Crisis. Russia felt they had to put weapons in Cuba, even though they knew that if they were found the US would take action. Back in the day they called it ‘Brinksmanship,’ a variation of ‘statesmanship.’ A ‘brinksman’ was a leader/diplomat who could bring his country to the edge of war without going over the edge.
You can trust Harris or Biden to have some cooler heads in the War Room. Trump listens to no one and acts like a child.
As a life long NYC resident I’ve seen my share of great buildings. I went to Trump Tower once, long before 2015. The walls of the lobby were all gold and there was a waterfall. I thought it looked like a giant, golden toilet.
He never went for the big bucks. Think of it this way; $10 million wouldn’t buy an apartment in Trump Tower.
Good luck
