Otherwise on the current track the US will be unable to service it’s debt.
Not as long as virtually all commodities trade in USD and USD remains the world’s reserve currency. I do get your broader point about any “revenue” raised by tariffs.
Unfortunately, fair point, yeah. I wish it weren’t like this. I’m here, and both those places, and I have to say that my engagement with BlueSky is far higher. That said, Lemmy and Mastodon have the potential to be something very special.
There is one thing this orange demon gibbon could do, and OFAC knows it: make it illegal to bunker these ships. Wilbur Ross was the shit monkey’s Sec Tres for a while, and he was a major ship owner and taught OFAC how it works.
It’s a nuclear option though, and nobody actually, really, wants to cut off this much oil from the world’s supply. That would cause inflation even worse than the dickcheese asshole’s deportation plans. So, I’m betting it won’t happen.
What will happen is he will give Israel permission to go full warfare with Iran.
Fair enough. But if you don’t tell someone why you are unhappy with them or the situation they control, then nothing improves for anyone.
This is what my Zoomer son said when I asked him as well.
Why would I do that? The statement is in the not the imperative mood, not the interrogative mood. Am I missing some kind of Lemmy etiquette?
Hey fair enough. But they are, and they tell me all the time because we talk constantly. It was the Zoomers I could not talk to on Skype/whatsapp/signal/slack …whatever platform they wanted. So how did I fail to reach them? That’s what I am wondering as a manger because, yeah a job is just a job, but it doesn’t have to suck, and I as a manager can make it suck much less. It’s within my power, but I cannot do the thing if you don’t ask for the thing despite multiple attempts. There must be something wrong with how I attempt to engage them.
Hard agree.
Yes, multiple times. We talk, all the time; we have to bring in multiple locations.
She brought this attitude over from Banking where she was last, and even though I tried to engage her, she just refused to talk to me. Despite me getting her a 20% raise this year, not that that is the central thing.
That is was “personal” and they didn’t want to talk about it. I spoke with all the other team members and found out it was because of things other people had - like wfh or different hours - that she never asked me about even though she knew directly approved for the others.
You’re getting downvoted and rightfully so, but you have accidentally made a good point. Believe me, as an older Xer I am very aware of the age issue and look at all CVs (resumes) no matter what the date on the college graduation says and have interviewed people even older than I am.
Combination of LinkedIn and local contacts. The two cities where the team works are rather tight communities, and you either do what we do or you do banking or FX.
Edit: I forgot one left to become a personal trainer, so that one kind of doesn’t count I suppose.
None of them were there long, but none of them moved to higher paying jobs either.
Sorry gotta downvote you on that one partner. I’m a long term immigrant from the States, and I still think pumpkin pie is the bomb.
More upvoting of posts.
I know that sounds a bit dumb/lame, but when I first got here and every post had like 5 upvotes, maybe 20 and then maybe once a week you’d see one with more than 100, it was jarring. Made the place feel empty and without interaction. Which it’s really not, but that was my and I think perhaps a lot of peoples’ first impression.
This is exactly what happened to a friend of ten years of mine. Exactly; he was the gateway drug to this: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/aug/02/everything-youve-been-told-is-a-lie-inside-the-wellness-to-facism-pipeline
That said and although rushed, Travelers had a fantastic ending.
Is accurate, can confirm. Did both investigations into the PPIs when they went OTC and have severe reflux, been scoped twice (fun!)
FWIW, I have multiple things I should go to in the USA coming up, and neither I nor my family are willing to risk it. My two (young adult) children and I have dual USA - EU country citizenship. My wife had a green card when she lived with me in NYC for over a decade, but turned it in when we moved back long ago. These facts (let alone what my posting history is like) are just too much for us. We won’t risk it.
It’s kind of like a plane crash: very unlikely to happen but you are equally unlikely to walk away unhurt.
