Gen Z can’t work alongside people with different views because they ‘haven’t got the skills to disagree’ Are you:

C. [ ] Don't Care?
D. [ ] All of the above?
Gen Z workers are already getting flak from businesses for lacking the basic skills needed to navigate the working world—and now, the boss of a major British TV channel has added to the mounting criticism. Channel 4’s CEO, Alex Mahon, complained that the youngest generation to enter the workforce doesn’t have the skills to debate, disagree, or work alongside people with different opinions. “What we are seeing with young people who come into the workplace, Gen Z, particularly post-pandemic and with this concentration of short-form content, is that they haven’t got the skills to debate things,” Mahon said at the Royal Television Society conference in Cambridge according to multiple outlets, including the Telegraph. “They haven’t got the skills to discuss things, they haven’t got the skills to disagree.”Only 13 years ago when I was 16 I couldn't wait for a couple of things. I wanted a driver's license, be free of high school and to live on my own. Moar Buttercup news.
Moving back in with your parents is so common now that it’s nearly lost its stigma In the months after the pandemic hit in 2020, nearly 50% of young adults—those aged 18 to 29—lived at home with their parents in the greatest numbers on record since the Great Depression. Some have since moved on, but one-third are still hanging on. Today, about 23 million young adults are shacking up with family—nearly 45% of the age group, per the U.S. Census. Despite the fact that in many cultures, children are expected to live with their parents and save money well into adulthood, doing so in America can carry an outsize stigma. Just ask personal finance guru Dave Ramsey, who said earlier this year that the situation is due to poor money management. But many of those adults who moved back home did so intentionally to shore up their debts and finally buy property or hit other financial goals, according to a Bloomberg News and Harris Poll survey of over 4,100 adults, conducted in August. Ramsey may be wrong; roughly 70% of the young adults who live with their parents that the Harris Poll surveyed said they would not be in a strong financial position if they hadn’t opted to live with their parents. The number one reason for moving home was to save money, the poll found, followed by taking care of older family members or dealing with immediate financial constraints. “It’s really allowed me to put my money towards quality of life goals,” one worker living with her parents in Texas told Fortune’s Alicia Adamczyk, who first reported on the trend in May. “My costs are so low. I’m so lucky to have them.”

As worshippers gathered at the Calvary Chapel in 2020, they were being watched from above. Satellites were locking in on cell phones owned by members of the nondenominational Protestant church in San Jose, Calif. Their location eventually worked its way to a private company, which then sold the information to the government of Santa Clara County. This data, along with observations from enforcement officers on the ground, was used to levy heavy fines against the church for violating COVID-19 restrictions regarding public gatherings. “Every Sunday,” Calvary’s assistant pastor, Carson Atherly, would later testify, the officers “would serve me a notice of violation during or after church service.” Calvary is suing the county for its use of location data, a controversial tool increasingly deployed by governments at all levels – notably in relation to the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. While enabling law enforcement to more easily identify potential offenders, the practice, called “geofencing,” has also emerged as a cutting-edge privacy issue, raising constitutional issues involving warrantless searches and, with Calvary Chapel, religious liberty.
10 Reasons Not To Own An EV
From California to New York to Washington, Democrats are using the coercive force of government to herd Americans into electric vehicles. Here are 10 reasons why we should resist both this egregious abuse of power as well as the social pressure that demands we all go electric: The mandates are an egregious abuse of power. Where do government officials, both elected and unelected, derive the authority to tell Americans what vehicles they cannot own and what vehicles they must own? There is none. Yes, there are laws intended to keep dangerous cars and trucks off the streets for safety reasons. But no automobile is a threat just because it burns gasoline or diesel. Dare we say that those who buy an EV are complicit in securing for the state a power it was never intended to have? The mandates are an egregious abuse of power Part ll. The federal government oversteps its constitutional limits when it tells manufacturers that two-thirds of the vehicles they build must be electrified.Oh there are more than 10. Many more.

The ONT Is Always Looking Out For YouTM
What Happens to Your Body When You Take Naps Every Single Day? As often as we talk about the benefits of sleep, more than a third of Americans are not getting the proper amount of shut-eye. Instead, we push aside our rest to complete more work, hang out with friends, or—let’s be real—binge another episode of Succession. But even though most of us are still yawning into our coffee cups, taking a nap might be the cure to combat those midday crashes because of its health benefits. If the thought of adding one more thing to your already busy schedule is making you stress out, you can consider naps as a natural way to recharge for the day. “Taking a nap can enhance your sleep cycle, regulate your sympathetic nervous system, help you think and let go of things that are causing you stress, and be used as a circadian marker to help your body understand where you are in the 24-hour cycle. Like meditation, it can be [used] as a quiet time in the middle of a chaotic day,” says sleep specialist W. Chris Winter, M.D., author of The Sleep Solution.

Target is closing three stores each in San Francisco and in Portland, Ore., two stores in Seattle, and one New York City store in Harlem, according to a statement on the company’s website. The company said it “cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance.” Target can only be successful “if the working and shopping environment is safe for all,” the company said. Target said that before making the “difficult decision” to shutter the nine stores, it invested heavily in “strategies to prevent and stop theft.” The company said it added security staffers, hired third-party guard services, upped its investments in cyber defense, and partnered with a U.S. Department of Homeland Security division focused on combatting retail theft. It has also invested in locking cases for products that are prone to theft, the company said.

Drug Dealer Calls Cops To Report A Theft
Man, 33, was busted after saying that drug customer robbed him
SEPTEMBER 25--When working in the field of illegal drug sales, it is never a good idea to contact police to complain that a customer robbed you. Cops say that Eric Thomas, 33, “called police in reference to a theft” Friday in Largo, a city in the Tampa Bay, Florida area. Upon being contacted by officers, Thomas “stated he was selling marijuana, and someone stole $10 from him while attempting to sell it.” While reporting the theft, Thomas had 11 baggies of pot in his hands, according to an arrest affidavit. In the Free State of Florida, it remains illegal to possess marijuana with the intent to sell it.

The average rent in the United States for an apartment is $1702 per month.
At least according to the first source I googled.
Add in utilities, mandated car insurance, mandates health insurance, and gasoline to travel to work, and I wouldn't be surprised if the bare minimum on bills every month to live on your own is probably around $2400-2500 per month.
That would require a salary of around $20/hour to have enough take home just to pay for the requirements. Amenities like food cost extra.
I don't stigmatize living at home at all, if it helps parents pay bills and allows the younger generation to save for a home, it's actually the smart play.
Decades of giving minorities free housing and food and flooding the country with illegals that increase competition for housing and put downward pressure on salaries has wrecked the American standard of living.

I might be nearing the end of nearly one year where lurking in the background for me were numerous headaches all related to taxes -- our own, my mom's estate, the nonprofit educational group for which I serve as treasurer.
I dunno what it is, but those who can bring down the minutiae and wrath of a taxing authority have to be some of the most over impressed with themselves people on the planet. You're not producers, lackwits, you are a burden cost.

I understand your perspective, but the legal system intrudes across the entire spectrum of everything, while most accountants only ruin one industry at a time.

During the Y2K buildup, embassies were stocking MREs and water in the event of a Charlie foxtrot. Mr Moki sent the list of personnel and dependents to main office, to tell them how many cases of each to send, and got a response from Legal that they were only obligated to provide food and water for official personnel at post, the dependents would not be given anything. Hilarity ensued.

Because you wanna stick it to the man.
In some ways you're sticking it to the man by owning one, no gas/sales tax on fillups.
Some places are trying to change that.
Ford and GM have announced they're converting to NACS (North American Charging Standard, SAE J3400).
Also known as the Tesla plug.
So, since the other charging networks are still pathetic if you buy a Ford or GM EV you'll be buying your electricity from Tesla.

I understand. I did as well.
I am just going through the motions of helping my daughter get an apartment of her own and a one bedroom in our East Tennessee community is $1600.
It's hard to have a roommate in a one bedroom apartment, unless it's your spouse.
My housing costs were covered by one paycheck in my day, with a roommate. So basically if I'd lived on my own it would have taken half of my money.
Her's will require basically all of her income. The struggles are real, it isn't just "Gen Z is lazy and immature". They want the same things as us, those things are actually harder to obtain. It's not all just smoke and mirrors.

That Jack in the Box is one with which I'm highly familiar.
Right on JFK Blvd, which is the main road leading into IAH Bush Intercontinental Airport, which is only one traffic light away.
On the drive-through side of the JitB, there is a Very Busy Shell gas station, high-traffic convenience store with integral Church's Fried Chicken store. On the other side of the JitB, is a Hampton Inn, also with a very high occupancy rate.
Our fat pistolera though, is fortunate. At the angle she was shooting, the rounds were likely to either hit 1. Her target, 2. Traffic on JFK Blvd., 3. Cars parked across the street in The Spot long-term airport parking facility.
I do wonder of any of the park-ees there might've reported any bullet strikes? Oh, and there's a "4" on the possibilities, too. She could've shot high, and landed some rounds to nearby industrial parks on the other side of Spot Parking. Dammit, there's a "5", too. No shortage of pedestrian traffic from area hotels to that C-store.
Any way you cut it, it's Felony Deadly Conduct, and the slap on the wrist is a travesty. Welcome to Harris County, y'all!

I got that beat. We had a nerve gas scare at my posting, and they only issued gas masks to assigned personnel. Apparently they expected us to put them on and calmly watch our families die. The panic passed and we turned them back in before we could get really wound up.

A year after I retired from the Navy, I moved from Cali to Denver (kids included) to take a Network Engineering teaching job. Got settled in... and after two weeks the manager decided she wanted her 'old friend' back on the payroll... so I was gone.
Luckily, I had gotten the job through a head hunter, who would not get paid unless I was working, and he immediately found me a better paying position with one of their competitors. Within 3 years, we had driven them out of business..... and I was the Tech training manager (and still teaching)....
Guess whose Resumes came across my desk looking for jobs.... /evil smile...

Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at September 26, 2023 10:51 PM (8sMut)
First, the turnover at a fast food restaurant is higher than a line company on the Somme, so it's not practical for some employers.
However, as far as I know, if an employer wants to go to the trouble, it can still require a prospective employee to go get his/her own criminal history (NCIC) record & submit it, as a condition of employment.
This is different than requiring job applicants to "check the box" for felony conviction, I believe, which is expressly forbidden by some states, I believe.

Joe spent little time in Detroit because the stop was added into a scheduled trip to the West Coast. He's going there to suck-up big campaign donations from filthy rich Leftists. The Junta decided Decrepit Joe had to be on the picket line before Trump, who'll be there tomorrow. Optics! Win the news cycle!

They did that to the banks too. Told them they were discriminating and Uncle Sam was going to tie them to a tree if they didn't lighten up and give our undeserving brothers a mortgage.
Then a few years later the Fed sued them for taking advantage of those who never should have received a loan.

I grew up in western Missouri, near the Kansas state line. Coors was sold in Kansas but not in Missouri, but more importantly the age to buy beer was 18 in Kansas but 21 in Missouri. Hence, in high school, we often took road trips to Kansas to get beer. I was doing that several years before Burt Reynolds, but shorter distances and smaller quantities.

I might do that. Used to drive by the company HQ pretty regularly to get to the next town over, always kinda wanted to drop in and see if they had a showroom but foam pillows just aren't my thing.
Interesting regional flavor story: Minneapolis used to have a very highly rated, mostly apolitical morning radio program and Lindell was both a sponsor and long-time friend of the show well before all the fame and political stuff. He and his assistant would regularly call in to shoot the breeze; after 2016 the assistant still did, Lindell occasionally would but he was mostly busy being famous. So, I can remember a time when it was just a guy making it by selling fancy pillows.

30 years from now I figure half the bridges in the country will be collapsed or blocked-off because they are about to collapse. All streets and highways will have so many potholes that driving will be a continuous slalom course. Because politicians always want to build new stuff, not repair old stuff - more money to distribute to friends in construction. And get for themselves But the real kicker will be no money for infrastructure, new or old. Because of entitlements and humongous interest costs on our $200 Trillion debt. Two ways out of that future.
1. SMOD.

RE: legal weed
Same thing happened with the redlight district in Amsterdam. The unlicensed hookers moved to the district and offered the same services for half price. The redlight district is useful to the unlicensed hookers because it concentrates the johns.
The legal hookers can't compete on price because of the licensing & regulation costs.

Maybe. But that's what I mean by the polls.
In 2020 the media helped convince people Biden was more popular than Trump with poll after poll showing him winning. The latest ABC/WaPo poll showed Joe losing by 10 points. That's a Democrat poll.
Might be off a bit but do you really think most people approve of the state of the country right now? Not everyone is a leftist loon even if they aren't Trump supporters.
Cheating only works if the result is believable and right now there is a growing core of leftists who want Joe to get out of the race. Nobody believes he is winning. Well stupid people do but there aren't that many of them.
Cheating only works when the supposed winner is a plausible candidate and Joe isn't in the basement anymore. He has a record and his polling is historically bad.
Unless the left is prepared to go full communist Joe is winning dick in 2024. And if he does we can shoot dice in the camps.

The Hoax - 1998 - High Expectations and Fistfull of Dirt
https://youtu.be/A-dC7w11lOk
I came across this band's masterpiece of British Blues, Humdinger [1998], some years ago on Spotify and immediately went about trying to get a copy. Eventually I had to order it out of England. The band was at its absolute peak in 1998 as is evident in the above live recording. The Hoax consisted of Jon Amor on guitar, Hugh Coltman on vocals and harmonica, Jess Davey on guitar, Robin Davey on bass, and Dave Raeburn on drums and was founded in 1991 and disbanded in 1998.

Let's talk about the Mandela Effect: I was heavily into listening to music from about 1982 to 1990, and my range of listening was 1955+ (including some pre 1955 Benny Goodman and Andrews Sisters thanks to Abbott and Costello movies). I don't own any LPs, 45s, or CDs that contain a song by "Status Quo". I would swear that I never heard of the group until 10 years ago. I don't recognize any of their songs. Is this just me?

I agree. The left has created this situation where blacks are legally untouchable, especially in the major cities, and that part of the black population that is feral have responded in kind.

Some of it surprising to me.
I regard Taco Bell as pretty awful, and with a billion taquerias and trucks around here it only matters after midnight when every cop in the area assumes someone doing drive-thru at 2am is a field sobriety test waiting to happen.
Public safety announcement: when the Christmas lights go on behind you, park safely signaling any turns, shut off the engine, and throw the keys if so equipped on the dash. If armed let the cop know as calmly as possible.

Yes, search engines are garbage now. I remember in the early days, Google was awesome. You can find any sort of arcane and exotic and/or highly technical info. It was designed that way, by people who tried to create a "search engine" properly, giving you the most relevant information based on the query.
Now, it's become nothing but a vehicle to sell you shit and push woke leftist propaganda. It's been deliberately dumbed down as well.

All went well until January. I had racked up 3,500+ sales and a 97% approval rate, getting new stock at book sales over the years. But Amazon said they'd suspend my account if I didn't give them info on my bank and credit card accounts. No matter that they already had the bank info -- that's where they auto-deposit the money from my sales -- and credit info, since my card is on file for purchases.
To top things off, when I tried to submit the info online, the process didn't work, and their seller "help" is less than useless. The reps seem to work in the jungles of Indonesia, and English is their 4th language (just after ourangutan).
I haven't tried that hard to reinstate my account. They keep bumping up the cut they take from third-party sellers, and their shipping reimbursement hasn't covered the real cost for years. And now they take a cut of the shipping fee plus the book cost.
For once, I hope the FTC kicks their ass.

Also, the index wasn't self-updating, it was a monthly all hands on deck exercise for the ex-DEC sysadmin folks who if it's been up to me would have all been fired, they were little mushrooms living in their own little cave taking direction from no one.

I appreciate what you are saying, and I agree with your conclusions.
But in the end, there is only one truth that will make any difference in the world.
We are all condemned. Dead men walking. Even the best among us (which if there be 8 billion people on earth, I rank somewhere in the low 7,900,000s) is fated to death and destruction.
And there is only one way out. Confess Jesus as Lord, die with Him on the Cross, and be resurrected with Him in the next life, the one where truth and justice reign. The world where things matter, eternally.
We are but sojourners here, there is nothing to preserve, nothing to take comfort in and nothing to long for here. This is the world of our own choosing...lawless, wretched, flawed and fallen. The end is written and it is not a return to paradise or even order on earth. Stock your shelves, load your firearms, or what you may for the impending doom, but it is coming nonetheless.
The one Truth is that you must prepare your souls.

It is not a common characteristic of fuel-burning cars to spontaneously combust. Fires mostly arise out of bad wrecks, or some person trying to start the engine by pouring gas in the carburetor. And I have had carb fires start that way, and put them out easily, because I am not so dumb as to have the gas can dribbling into the carb while cranking.
Electric cars have had a disturbing number of incidents in which the battery just catches fire spontaneously, be the car parked or scooting down the road.

Upon entering the first thing one noticed was an old black man in the corner leaning back in his chair with a sawed off shotgun across his lap.

What I was trying to get is the looting spree must have been driven by a seed group. Left wing Soros funded non profit comes to mind as a starting point. This reeks of being as spontaneous as the St. George riots.

If they can send to prison people who were not even in D.C. on Jan. 6th based upon subpoenaed phone data, they can find these clowns -- if they really wanted to. But in this undeclared very uncivil war, TPTB are enjoying the dog-eat-dog show.
We're all ants in a glass display 'farm'. It's jut a matter of who's useful at the moment. Obviously, Sen. Menendez is becoming a non-person as his utility has ended, just as the press is starting to 'turn on Biden' as his usefulness has ended, which is a sad commentary on the rah-rah 'go Blue Team' media all by itself.

From the ever-reliable and always accurate Wikipedia:
"The island was named by English colonists after the Roanoke indigenous people who resided here for generations, at least 800 years prior to the arrival of the English in the New World."
Honestly, I did not know that. Always thought it was derived from something English. Live and loirn.

Family believed they were descendants of the Dare Family with the name phonetically corrupting to Dial over the many years.
Historians noted that many Indians in the area - pre Trail of Tears - spoke of the past by saying “my father told me that his father told him - which was a more European way of speaking than other indigenous groups.
Who knows …

I'm sure the tribe was actually 'Jones' but you know how miscommunication upon first contact happens. They probably heard the natives call them stupid in their native tongue and the dumb 'tourists' thought that was the tribe's name.

Future prediction from yesterday is so right:
Diane Feinstein steps down from her Senate seat. Gavin Newsom appoints Kamaltoe Harris to the seat. Biden nominates Gavin Newsom to VP. Biden either steps down or withdraws. Get ready. Newsom is a stooge, so this is not as good of a strategy as it seems.
