No idea what you're talking about, but most people are not trying to get endorsements.

You know, I think the best way for the Internet as a whole to stop using people as product, is to have a worldwide publically subsidised Internet, like the BBC or PBS but it is the Internet. The governments pitches in just like with any global programmes.

At the senior level its so important to get a candidate that actually knows what they claim because the consequences of finding out they don't on the job are too great. This is where we reach into our networks so that any candidate comes with word-of-mouth recommendation from someone we trust.

I never thought about this but yes, this is why networking is super important. It is said that about 91% of hirings are through network. And speaking from practical experience, I can corroborate that most of my jobs had been from connections. I distinctly remember my first proper job in my field, and it was through happenstance bumping into an old friend who recommended me to apply for a role in his previous company. I think I would not have gotten that job which served as a great foundation for my career, had I not met him and did not mention to recruiters about him.

There is a difference between loving your work and being workaholic then getting paid peanuts for it; and then the boss expects others to do the same. There is a reason that employees hate over-achievers. I have been in places where we get like you. But at the end, you are not pleasing yourself, it is those at the top who will earn more than you ever will in your lifetime whom you are pleasing.

PEAK fucking lemmy. Jesus, you even angled in "the right". Very good, except you didn't put "capitalism" in there. B+

Fair enough. The far-left communists are also obsessed with work.

In addition, retiring exactly at age 62 increases the odds of dying by 23 percent relative to men retiring at age 63 and by 24 percent relative to men retiring at age 64.

Maybe because those who worked really hard in their younger years retire early, but it took more toll on their bodies than if they work more steadily. But what is the point of money if your body is too weak to enjoy the pension, and much of it goes to your healthcare, instead of enjoying a Caribbean cruise or a trip to see the Pyramids? I lost count on my fingers how many times I have read about and talked to elderly regretting that they worked excessively in their younger days. The physical injuries they received when they were younger act up again as their body could no longer hold up like before. On a more personal note, they regret not having spent more time doing other things like travelling or taking up hobbies when they were more able. I don't know about you, but missing out a lot in life and regretting on my deathbed as an old person is a fate worse than death, and I have had near death experience before.

Unfortunately, there are still many of those who love working and don't mind working long hours anyway. Some of them use work to forget their personal problems, some derive a sense of purpose-- the latter of whom are brainwashed by the right to love work. Kudos to those who work excessive hours, but the problem is that the owner-class wants the rest of us to follow suit and they don't care if we would rather spend time on our hobbies or families outside of work.

Many racists relocated to Russia because of "traditional values". Turns out they don't like that Russia's standard of living is pretty low.

There are plenty of reasons why Russia is experiencing population decline even before the war in Ukraine, while many poor migrants are dragging, crawling and swimming to get to the West. The West is not perfect, but migrants prefer both prosperity and strong rule of law.

Russia, sure, but Trump is vehemently anti-China. Trump wants the war in Ukraine to end so that he could shift attention to China.

Trump had been in deep debt after the legal battles and Musk funded his election campaigns. Of course Musk controls Trump.

The joke just writes itself!

The Washington Post reports that USAID purchases billions in U.S. agricultural products, with American farms supplying 41% of its food aid.

I did not know this myself.

There are also a couple of subreddits that are still good. But from what I can see, Reddit is probably only good now for visiting the subreddit of your country or town. I also still look at Reddit for occasional news, as long as I avoid mainstream news subreddits that go on the front-page.

Judges could have biases of their own whether they realise it or not.

By appeasing the centre, they mean the rich donors.

when you knew what he was going to do, he told you what he was going to do - why are you now in any way surprised or disturbed?

My guess is that people's reaction is more like: "I thought politicians lie? Why would they do this?"

I know Musk is not technically a politician, but the same confused reaction and bewilderment that you mentioned is applied to Trump's current actions as well.

As far as I know, Renault sales is ramping up.

The tariffs is going to affect the American economy as a whole in the long term. This will definitely make the rich angry.

Trump's tariffs are going to hurt businesses. It is very likely that his policies are only going to help his selected cronies and his own family. As we can see, the stock market also went down after announcing the tariffs.This is why oligarchs are up in arms.

That being said, the good news is that agitated oligarchs could move against Trump and support someone more business friendly. Harris before the elections has been endorsed by economists as being good for the economy. Oligarchs could endorse someone more moderate after Trump's presidency (if there will ever be another election).

Just fyi to everyone, I am not saying that oligarchs are good overall. I am just saying that the US is an oligarchy for all intents and purposes, and since Plato mentioned that oligarchy is not a unified group, they still each have their own interest and that could be used to advantage.

That's literally the meaning of meme or memetic; ideas are passed on like a virus. I know it's annoying to repost memes but that is the circle of memes xD

President Eon isn't exactly working in the shadows lol.
