I'm right there with you. A few years ago, if I got one interview I was guaranteed to be in round 3 or 4. Now, I'm lucky to get the intro call and then "we'll be in touch". If anything, my skillset is improved from a few years ago.

You aren't alone, many people from former companies I used to work with are reporting the same thing. Unless you have a buddy at a company that can get you in, people aren't finding seats nearly as easily as they used to. I'm saddened but I don't see an end to this anytime soon. To be honest, I wish I had chosen a different career, as I feel slightly held hostage now.

No one was harmed by the haka.

The vote was delayed. You also don't know the reaction of other parliamentary members. The context of the haka is a dance done to intimidate enemies. Maybe some of the other members feel intimidated now.

If I was a parliament member and stood up with 3 of my pals and loudly threatened another member, what do you think would happen to me?

"In January, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told analysts that the company would make sales execution changes after the company delivered slower growth than expected in Azure cloud revenue that wasn’t tied to artificial intelligence. Performance in AI cloud growth outdid internal projections."

Translation: "No one gives a shit about Azure, except for the people we could hoodwink with AI."

Another "sovcit victory"

Cursed cameraman. I've seen steadier shots from a schooner in a 35 foot wave.

Well duh, just open up a factory in your garage.

I'm not saying keep them out of courts. I'm saying that the followers of "sovereign citizenry" seem to lose 100% of the court cases where they try this defense. Yet, there's a continuous stream of people willing to try it.

He didn't save the world the first time (despite promising he would drain the swamp within days) so why would anyone think he would do it the second time?

At least they knew it was going to sound stupid.

I can tell you, but I'd be lying.

Ah, the twisted logic here is that since it doesn't "cure" COVID it's "FAKE". (since REAL vaccines cure and/or perfectly prevent the targeted disease, without any side effects)

I'm tired of just seeing random Trump ideas without any kind of deeper thought or plan behind it. Alcatraz hasn't housed a prisoner for a long time. Needless to say, it'd cost a lot of money to get it back up in action. Is this money worth spending? How much is it? What's wrong with our other supermax prisons in the USA?

It's embarrassing this guy can just throw out these off the cuff ideas and STILL finds fans in the USA.

I had a pair of grandparents old enough to be involved in factory work and they had hated it. They both educated themselves to a degree where they could get a better job and get out of the factories. It seems odd enough that we'd aspire to go back to these times.

Not sure if this will convince you or not

I don't think I worded my original post properly because I feel convinced already. I was just looking for a way to measure up the effects of this idea. If we are a country dependent on importing goods and we make them more expensive, it stands to reason that we either stop getting those goods (doesn't seem easy...) OR we just deal with the price, and that doesn't seem easy either.

I just thought this is odd... like if I wanted to propose a tax on bicycles, we could talk how many bicycles there are in the USA, if this would make sense, etc. but that's an actual discussion. Most of the people in this thread are just asserting it's a bad idea and either don't know the "why" themselves, or just don't want to say.

That AI is going to be copying a lot of "I put on my robe and wizard hat"

How many different sentences of the form:

Trump demands ________ deny the reality of what his _______ are doing to _________

can you make?

For the factory workers in the industrial heartland it will be good.

So we should expect to see more manufacturing jobs? How long will they take to show up? What kind of products will they build?

Thanks for putting some numbers on it. A lot of people are just downvoting and saying "well it's bad!". I want to know why and I think some of those numbers above really help to quantify it. Collecting 0.8% doesn't seem very effective, so if someone tried to defend this as a replacement for Income tax, I would say that gets an F.
