All it really amounts to is a small headstart. It seems like a big gap initially because you're comparing 0 years of experience vs 2 years of experience.

But across a 30 year career its a mere 7% difference. Frankly after 5 to 10 years of experience it becomes a lot less about how long you've worked, it instead becomes more about how you've spent those years and how that translates into benefitting the company. When a company is hiring for mid level and above, it doesn't really matter to them that someone has 8 years vs 10 years. An extreme example would be someone with 5 years at Google vs someone who spent 10 years jumping between small start ups.

Trump is already a loser president.

Captain obvious! Its been such a long time since we last saw you! How have you been?

It seems to fail the last criteria there. They don't actively escape or react to predation. For the most part they aren't actively "trying" anything other than to just float around and replicate.

Ultimate uno reverse card.

To be contrarian,

I'd count this as a YOLO. You only live once and choosing to live it with decorum and immaculate professionalism or playing the long game is also a valid response.

Maybe one day, they come crawling back to you? Take them for all they're worth or shove it back at them.

I had a lucrative job offer for a fairly senior role from a company that previously retrenched me. I got their senior management to wine and dine me. All in the guise of discussing the role, how I saw the future of the industry and my plan for taking the company to where they wanted to be in 2 years. Then after all was said and done, I told them I wasn't interested. It felt good and besides I make way more now than they could have offered me and it would have taken me away from my family and put me in a very stressful role.

If those genes didn't exist, you can be pretty sure that lineage would be less likely to survive.

Quantum electricity: where we're going we don't need wires! In fact who the hell knows where we're going!?

Garuda has an abysmal safety record. I'm banking it wasn't a design or production issue with the 747.

Adding on to that, its not just the surplus produce. Its all the rest of the produce that's unusable by us humans.

When we grow something like corn, we're only growing it for the kernels that we can consume. We can't physiologically make use of the stalks, stems and leaves, but an animal like the goat? They'll chew up anything green and turn that into usable calories we humans can make use of.

Speed and velocity are not the same thing.

Still has YT shorts, still no dislike button.

We're paying but it doesn't feel like we're customers. It feels like we're paying protection money otherwise we get ads shoveled down our throats again.

Except where there's little opportunity to utilize the highly skilled labor. They are going abroad anyway to find job opportunities befitting of their skill set and the highest bidder. Doesn't matter if the US or EU took them, they're leaving because the local opportunity doesn't exist.

Ford for all his flaws had plenty of revolutionary ideas that actually improved workers conditions. Even if he only did it to capture the workers and "lock them in", it was much better than what any of the competitors were offering and it forced the competitors to improve their conditions to retain workers.

The worst part of that ruling was that some of the minority shareholders were actually competitors and they used that money to start up their own competing factories.

Just goes to show how focusing on the business long term is always in the shareholders interests and most of the time focusing on shareholders interests aren't in the best interest of the shareholders themselves. Modern day short sellers being the most egregious example of this.

This is some serious gourmet shit
