The supply chain industry is always hiring, entry level positions don’t require degrees, and people skills are highly desired. Unfortunately I don’t have the power to directly give you a remote job or something but feel free to reply or reach out for suggestions if you’d like some!

As the sayings go, gotta pay the bills and eat somehow. We can focus on building worldwide revolution after that.

The funny part is this isn’t even a bit idea. It’s actually happening, right now.

The Big Beautiful Bill just passed in the House and is naturally going to sail through the Senate and Executive office.

One small horror hidden amongst many is how it completely guts graduate student loan availability (because doctors and scientists totally don’t need those). It also legally abolishes all current student loan repayment plans (like SAVE and IBR).

Curiously, it also enshrines into law a replacement repayment plan involving a token insignificant amount of federal principal-match on payments and interest forgiveness - the two exact points that Democrats completely rolled over on when faced with illegal lawsuits saying Dems couldn’t do those exact things and said “well we tried, it’s the law, vote for us again” to.

Democrats chose to not use their powers on a permanent solution codified into law. Biden chose not to use his legal and constitutional emergency powers to forgive student loans. At every precipice, Democrats choose fascism.

Instead, they chose to implement a weak half measure that everyone knew could get blown away with one Executive Order. They chose to hold it like a Sword of Damocles over voters for an election they lost anyway.

The farce of American democracy has gone so far past the deep end that liberals and progressives are literally being outflanked by conservatives on every issue. It’s no wonder that the DNC has simply chosen to give up and roll over. They can’t even claim their policies are better anymore.

They’re merely acting on what the majority of Ukrainians believe: that the Soviet regime was totalitarian and terrorist,

Let’s just ignore this point for the sake of time, and ignore all the objective data on the prosperity the workers enjoyed under the Soviet Union and the objective drop in quality of life following its dissolution.

I see zero ethnic repression in the dev’s actions.

Oh, you mean like how they’re removing access to Russian-

It does not have to come in the form of laws. When you cut off access to the Ukrainian television and force everybody to watch Russian TV…

Mandating that the official language is used is not the same as outlawing the others.

Is it repression when Ukrainians do it or is it not? The intentional cognitive dissonance is stunning.

The reason why it’s so easy to pick apart your vehement defense of Ukraine is because 1) you are defending fascists, and 2) you are fundamentally refusing to understand that nobody is saying the modern state of Russia is some paradise or paragon of history.

You go on these diatribes accomplishing nothing because you’re so neck deep in propaganda and liberalism that you don’t even know what is reality and what is fiction anymore.

Even now your eyes are just rolling over at any of the facts posted in this entire post because surely you are on the right side of history and surely this war is one holy nation against the evil scourge and there is no need to ever question anything your media tells you and anything saying otherwise is just propaganda.

Just ignore how you continue to spew a firehose of lies while others have disproven every single defense of Ukraine in this post and never addressing them. Anything to keep the facade of being on the right side.

Watch out, you posted reality and the truth. Liberals really don’t like that, it makes their brain go clunk.

If both the board and your boss were nice about it, they probably already know you’re a competent worker and don’t give a shit about one bad day as they know you’ll your job done.

And if it helps to reframe, if your audience was a much higher rank than you and your boss, they’re so far removed from your work that they have bigger things to worry about than the specifics of one office drone.

Sounds like a relatively high performing and healthy organization, all in all (compared to the horrors I’ve seen and heard of). Best of luck!

It’s the classic conundrum that you see with real life direct assistance. Get your wallet out and suddenly three very well built men are surrounding you against a wall. Or maybe you get shit thrown at you by the mentally ill. Or get a knife pulled on you. I don’t even give a shit what they use the money for but I’m not risking my safety to do it.

And I know that sounds incredibly liberal but this is my lived experience, not some scaremonger suburban fear. I live in a bad neighborhood where homeless folks get stabbed for fun and OD on the sidewalk at noon.

It’s why donating directly to aid groups and vetted charities will help the most people and stretch your dollar the furthest.

However, that doesn’t mean I advocate for ignoring mutual aid entirely. This community is definitely a lifeline for many. I think setting a firm aid budget within your financial means and diversifying who you send it to might be a good strategy. Maybe a burner account so you can throw away a PayPal account, etc. at any time if needed.

also using average instead of median is gonna skew the results massively

That is the point I am making in the body about income inequality, yes. But I’m glad we are on the same page.

These are the March 2025 figures from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. There are also the petit bourgeois to consider, who simply pay themselves a high wage by consuming the surplus value of their workers labor. Or in a less traditional definition, simply those who collect high salaries without actually contributing labor or generating value.

Of course, highly compensated workers such as skilled tradespeople, the classic doctors and engineers, etc would also affect it. Also for the bourgeois, they have to realize their capital gains at some point to spend the money, which gets filed as income.

However, you are absolutely correct. There is an entire world of high net worth individuals that collect stock compensation, funnel money into offshore accounts, create LLCs and nonprofits to vanish the taxes away, etc. If that were somehow accurately assessed and taken into account, I have no doubt these figures would be an order of magnitude higher.

I’ve been at bourgeois events. Seen their open disgust for the working class, minorities, and the marginalized. The unimaginable wealth they parade around in designer clothing, blood diamonds, and Audemar Piguets. The 6 car garages and winery estates. The callous disregard for the value of money, throwing away thousands without a single thought.

All of it, makes me rage with such depth that I am sure if I was in a like minded crowd with these ghouls in front of me, I would not hesitate to [redacted].

Are you in tech? I hear that whole sector is basically flooded (with job seekers) right now, and the white collar job market as a whole is insanely competitive as well. Even niche positions are getting dozens of qualified applicants.

It sucks, but it sounds like you are a professional and know what you’re doing. And if so, the only real answer is to keep searching and sending tailored applications, until you run out of leads in your area every single day.

I’m speaking from experience, laid off recently and it took 6 months before getting an offer with 20% less pay and reduced responsibility.

I know talented aerospace engineers that didn’t get an offer out of school for a full year in a hot market. It’s just shit now, but you just gotta keep going. It always seems hopeless until you finally get that job offer.

Worst case scenario, I know warehouse/forklift work pays decently and are always hiring. Anything to pay the bills and let you keep searching while the market heats back up.

Your university might also have career services resources for alumni if you want 2nd opinions on resume. Just keep the long march going, comrade.

Unregistered guns using 3D printed parts are very, very popular amongst CHUDs.

I like Denver for layovers! It’s never my home base or final stop so can’t speak much about location but I agree, it’s built well for chillin.

inb4 this post is removed for a reason not in the rules because one faction has a clear logical and ethical point while the other endlessly Marvel-quips in response

Azov 9/11 where they shoot down Trump Force One with American supplied Stingers because Trump insisted on using his new toy without sending it to the shop for countermeasure installation

The American species of locust was effectively driven to extinction about 100 years ago due to a combination of aggressive campaigns to exterminate them and their breeding grounds and changes in farming practices and types of crop cultivation.

It’s extinctions all the way down, baby!

All Biden had to do was forgive the $20k of loans and Dems would have won every election for another 20 years, with or without genocide. Not to mention the incredible jump start that would have given the economy, delaying the collapse by another generation.

The only logical conclusion is that liberals care more about capital than winning elections, which we’ve known for decades. Or really since 1776. Probably further if you wanted to check too!

The sick beach house is key here, OP. You have a once in a lifetime chance to become this old crazy man’s best friend and surrogate son so he leaves you all his shit in his will.

Seems like a decent enough person once you overlook the literal insanity. Reminds me of an old dirty minded trucker I worked with on a site cleanup that tried to get me to marry his daughter lmao.

I’m not gonna lie, it really put a damper on my enjoyment of the show when they went all-in on the shamanistic great man theory shit with the force healing prophecy scene.

Like, I get it, prophecies and shamanistic powers literally canonically irrefutably exist in the world setting, but to me this show was supposed to be about how revolutions are made possible by people, their material conditions, their labor, their sacrifices, and their decisions. Not destiny or wizards.

Otherwise an incredible show though, what a refreshing piece of “prestige” mainstream media in a world full of slop.

“The expansion of Israel and its proxies are a fundamental necessity for the United States”

It’s disheartening to see fellow leftists react that way. It’s frankly reactionary.

It’s possible to dress with intention and style without conforming to traditional Western formalwear, as Mao Zedong famously did. There’s a difference between that and appearing in public events like you just got back from walking the dog.

Style is an expression of the self, having an outfit just makes you feel good y’know? Lenin and Stalin also dressed well in public. Trying to express these ideas and being written off as some decorum obsessed liberal is just ridiculous and a denial of the art and creativity humans are capable of, which seems pretty anti-leftist to me. We gonna shit on Claudia De la Cruz next for doing the same thing?

Honorable mention: Hawai’i refused to even enact a fluoride requirement in 1966 and it’s failed in the legislature ever since.

In 2015, the state’s 3rd graders had the highest rates of tooth decay in the entire US.

This is one of the bluest states in the entire nation. Would you like to know more?
