Frosted Flake posted:How sustainable is that? It's a broad question, but it seems like this philosophy hurts workers, companies and the economy as a whole, albeit over differing timeframes. People are pissed right now. They blame the Obama boogeyman/THE LIBERALS, mexicans/other illegal immigrants stealing jobs, the moral and social decay of our society but the fact is that the common person is getting squeezed more and more each year. Wages have been basically stagnant for twenty+ years and unemployment is what.. 6%? but that's only counting the people actively looking for employment being counted by the labor department. We're entering or getting very close to the next recession and hopefully it's not anywhere close to 2008 but this has been one of the slowest economic recoveries in recent US history, another nose dive and mass panic, lay offs, commodity price jumps, and whatever else goes with it is not going to be great for national moral and long term economic health. There are millions of millennials leaving school and entering the job market that are tens of thousands of dollars in debt that do not have great prospects of landing that 50k+ job they were promised their entire childhood if they went to college. Saw a statistic that something like 45% of Americans made less than 30k last year. The federal poverty line is like 19k, but when was that cut off was last evaluated? You see all the mass shootings in the media that are getting more rampant every year, poo poo like what happened in Burns and it's easy to blame solely on lack of gun control but looking at other countries like Japan they have mass stabbings and knife violence that's off the charts. People aren't meant to be ground into the dirt with zero prospects day after day for near minimum wage while getting poo poo shoved into their mouth and being forced to smile and ask for more for the sake of corporate and shareholder profits. This is a big dumb serious post on our favorite gay dying comedy forum and I don't believe it's far from the true answer but sadly we're going to keep getting hosed by the elite until this is absolutely not sustainable and tragic and drastic things happen. tldr no and I'm an rear end hole for posting this thanks

early 2000 toyotas own bones. camry, avalon, carolla, tacoma, tundra all excellent vehicles and should get you to 300k before you need to do major maintenance, more so for the trucks, as long as you're doing the basic poo poo more or less within the time frame. You could buy a 2002 avalon, a spacious beast with good mpg for v6 for 6k with around 100k miles and drive it for the next fifteen years that said my car is a 2004 hyundai sonata and I've had zero problems with it, but I'm waiting every day for when it fucks up and it's not worth shelling out the money for repairs because Holy hell it did not hold any value worth poo poo

My first job was night shift at a grocery store, our front register dude had a gimp arm and did meth all night. It was his mission to catch all shop lifters until he got fired after tackling one and holding up a wrench threatening to bash his brains in Coincidently that chain of grocery stores just closed almost all their locations in my state and have been slowly dying since before I worked there ten years ago.

PallasAthene posted:Did they flat out fire you for making too much, cook up a reason, or just cut your hours until you had to find another job? It seems odd that a company can just say "We're getting rid of these people in exchange for cheaper labor" and not get in legal trouble or at the very least have to pay unemployment. hi welcome to America

i'm going to shamefully admit that I went to a tech school, I have an incredibly easy job with insane benefits that i make an extremely livable wage on but i could have just as easily bought a fifty dollar book and studied from to pass the certification test instead of getting in school loan debt and spending a year learning nothing that the book couldn't have taught me i tell myself that i have the job i wanted but it took 4 years of working entry level poo poo, and i had a huge willingness to learn while 80% of my "class" did not find a job related to what they learned and are stuck working retail poo poo etc on top of student loans. one of my good friends is in 50k~ of debt from itt tech and barring a substantial wind fall or eating nothing but beans and rice for many years he'll literally never pay it off. he has a great job now that he loves, but he had to work up from entry level poo poo and it's nothing he couldn't have taught himself what I'm getting at is I'm a huge retard and never do anything I do ever

Krispy Kareem posted:It's also an issue with ever expanding life spans. When men stopped dying of lung cancer or heart attacks at age 60, lifetime pensions became a whole lot more difficult to fund. Essentially it was never going to work long term, unless we started having a whole lot more kids to contribute to the pension funds. you think heart attack rates are going to go down in the next 20 years? lol

how the gently caress people continue to shop at Walmart is beyond me. It is consistently the most miserable store, employee and customer alike every time I'm in one. Sure things are 'cheaper', but literally by cents since they don't end their prices in .99, they never have sales so while things are marginally cheaper you're not getting a good price AND the truly cheap poo poo is bottom of the barrel lowest quality Chinese loving plastic junk

Moridin920 posted:They identified that they were expanding too much into areas they didn't belong in (clothing, theme parks, etc.) and nixed a bunch of that. The LEGO parks are all run by a 3rd company now. They nixed a bunch of the larger pieces that were rarely used and expensive to mold and produce (costs millions to produce new molds for new bricks). Did a bunch of research into how kids play and stuff to develop their products/sets while using more standardized bricks to avoid those big specialized pieces. all of this poo poo just seems like the most common sense, 101 basic poo poo of running any company ever and it blows my mind that people again and again are able to drive successful companies into the ground

mitztronic posted:Realtalk: have you ever done any research prior to choose a doctor? Or do you just call up a rando doctor and get an appointment? Or maybe you have Kaiser (in which case I'd blame you for picking a plan that gives you zero control). People are extremely loving dumb. I'd see the same people bitch about their doctor every single time they'd come in and when I told them they're paying their doctor, pick a new one if they aren't working for you they would grumble something, and the next time I'd see them they'd be bitching about their doctor. People are really really dumb. The Walgreens in my area now have a physicians assistant or a nurse practitioner on site for walk in urgent care. I thought that was really crazy but it's a great idea. Doctors arent necessary for most things people need medical care for and even in a hospital setting we're going to see a huge shift towards PAs and FNPs.
