What happens when we all stop working?

What happens when we all stop working?

Why do you work? The real reason almost all of us work is so that we can buy food, shelter, transportation, medical care, entertainment, and more. We want to have a good life, right? I do.

Would you continue working if you were NOT paid for that work? Or would you work if you were paid in play money that did not purchase any actual goods or services?… read more “What happens when we all stop working?”

Parasites Vs Producers

Free speech is the most important building block of democracy. If you cannot freely debate ideas, then a democracy is impossible. Sometimes there will be ideas you disagree with so strongly you wish to censor them. But if you choose to censor them, you open your ideas to censorship.
Censorship has never held up well over time… Galileo and Socrates are but two names in a far too long list of individuals who have been censored, but later proven correct.

Social media review

X.com is my favorite social network at this point, as it is the only one with community notes that are shared publicly – this is an excellent way to spot misleading “news” articles. I also really like that it supports free speech and does not censor like Facebook and LinkedIn do. I find it to be the fastest and most complete source for breaking news as well.… read more “Social media review”

All science is theories. As soon as you move something outside of “theory” you turn it into a religion.

If “legitimate science” is only that which agrees with you, it is not science at all.
There is a lot of cult-type brainwashing and indoctrination around climate science.
The graph clearly shows that we are at a global historical low temperature… so the change may actually be quite positive.

Rent or own

If you rent or own an apartment or a house, should you have the right to choose who comes in and who has to stay out?

Should it just be you and guests you invite in and others you ask to be your roommate?
Or should the government decide this?
Or should just anyone be able to come in and out and take your stuff?

The overall job growth included 20,524 White workers. The other 302,570 jobs — or 94% of the headcount increase — went to people of color.

To find out how many believe “reverse discrimination” is really an issue affecting their workplace, in November ResumeBuilder.com surveyed 1,000 hiring managers across the U.S.

Key findings include:

  • 52% believe their company practices “reverse discrimination” in hiring
  • 1 in 6 have been asked to deprioritize hiring white men
  • 48% have been asked to prioritize diversity over qualifications
  • 53% believe their job will be in danger if they don’t hire enough diverse employees

‘No white men’ policy: what you can & can’t do in diversity hiring

Roughly half of recruiters have been explicitly or implicitly told not to hire white men.

Who to trust?

The all-important question in today’s world is what news sources to trust?

I used to believe exactly like you do and would respond exactly like you do. I read (and still read) all the same new sources you do. I agree, we are both a reasonable, logical and intelligent people. We believe a different set of facts.… read more “Who to trust?”
