Company exists to make money. In other news, water is wet. More at 5.

Kitty!

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Maybe it’s just because I live in Texas and it’s 80 degrees outside in February, but I pretty much exclusively use that sheet. Blanket only ever covers my feet.

And every candidate that isn’t picture perfect that they deny a position to is that hour gone to complete waste.

I find it amazing how few companies don’t even give people a chance. I’m tech-inclined, but the only thing I have to my name is a Comptia A+ cert. However, I’ve also done a lot of things that are well beyond that skill set in a multitude of ways, and I also learn quite quickly. It’s tough to put ‘Hey, I managed a MYSQL database for a modded Minecraft server and I set everything up myself.’ on a resume. Nobody even bothers to read that because it mentions Minecraft, never mind the amount of actual work it takes to run a public-facing server like that with hundreds of active players logged in at once. It certainly isn’t ’just playing a video game’.

Maybe the solution is to instead re-educate everyone on how to drive in such a manner as to consider the traffic behind them.

Oh, they’ll have a job in prison, too. They just won’t get paid to do it.

Percentage doesn’t equate to the actual number of people, though.

“Walmart is tired of making less money than Amazon.” Is likely closer to the truth.

It’s your word that their word is to be trusted, or even exists at all. No better than ‘Hey, I know a guy!’

I’m just saying that all of the evidence, or lack thereof, that I’ve ever seen doesn’t amount to a plane crashing into the building in my opinion, which is every bit as valuable as your word.

Your word vs a mountain of video evidence that all disappeared. Sure.

It certainly wasn’t a plane that hit the Pentagon.

But the shot gave me 5g or whatever, they’ll know where I am all times!

I would hope so. I can’t imagine anyone agrees to be VP without understanding that they may have to take up the mantle of President without much notice.

If you can’t keep it to yourself, well… then you can’t keep it.

Christ, what the fuck is wrong with the world? Didn’t we solve this in WWII? Didn’t the world kinda collectively discover that being a fascist, Nazi dickbag isn’t the way to go? What happened?

Kitty.

Ding ding ding! Nailed it!

Well, my situation anyway. And now I’m looking at skipping multiple payments because my new (to me) car has multiple problems that can’t be babied along anymore.

I’m thinking about the sorts of folks that drop out of high school. Better for them to be able to get work experience early on rather than have to leech off their parents for a few years while not being able (or willing) to give anything back.

I’m not saying the situation is ideal by any means, certainly. In an ideal world, every kid would be able to get an awesome education and become amazing contributors to society. We don’t live in that world. We live in a world where people are too poor to afford to drive their kids to school, to afford the lunches they’re being forced to pay for their kids at that school, to afford the supplies they need, etc etc.

If our lawmakers aren’t going to fix larger societal problems, at least these kids can try to make it by, rather than simply being a drain. And yes, I know this law passing is only making things harder to fix in the long run, but at least the kids are allowed to do something that might help ‘em stay off the street or off drugs. Yes, companies are going to exploit them for cheap labor… like they do adults. The issue isn’t just that kids are working, the issue is also that companies are allowed to exploit anyone, regardless of age. That’s a larger issue that will take a lot more effort to fix.

So in the meantime, let the kids at least try if their means prevent a better life otherwise.
