It’d get there a lot quicker if you’d stop pretending the firefighters shouldn’t even try or are Russian agents or are secretly maga super soldiers or whatever bluemaga nonsense gets around and stopped insisting your hose of gasoline is giving us more time.

Correct, hence why I corrected your logic in your metaphor.

You still don’t understand that being shot in the left nut or the right but doesn’t change the shooter or the pain.

You have a garden hose that sprays gasoline?

We’ve been doing “damage control” for longer than anyone you have ever met has been alive.

It ended in genocide. Maybe, ‘adult’, you should not repeatedly do the exact same fucking thing for more than a Century and hope for something different.

Actual adults can see a sunk cost fallacy. Wealth inequality is higher than it’s ever been. We’re comitting genocide. We have more slaves now than before the 13th was passed.

Yeah, it’s great that statistically 20 years after the rest of the world for each human rights milestone we caught up… Except for the fact pretty much none of those rights are in law, or in the constitution, so they can be taken away if we get too uppity.

Great damage control, genocidal technofeudalism.

The one that is currently working in the most populous country, the one that has raised the standard of living for the most people in history.

Reread your last sentence back to yourself. If you can’t figure out why people didn’t support your racist right wing genocidier, then irony truly is dead.

I did. Liberal democracy is not a popular democracy; the average person has no power or rights in it. It is a democracy of the ownership class.

I did my part in that, by not voting for any politician supporting genocide.

Liberal democracy is antithetical to both democracy and freedom.

The issue is genocide.

The rational choice would be throwing out every politician supporting genocide since genocide never limits its victims. If you vote for genocide you will always eventually become the victim if you do not physically start fighting your government.

Voting for a genocidal party with a history of invading countries full of people that look like you because they decided to not be slaves to multicolor capitalists is not better, in any way, than voting for a genocidal party with a history of invading countries like you because they decided to not be slaves to white capitalists except they might also target you openly.

Voting for people that will kill you instead of ever being convinced to inch towards equality is mutually exclusive with any alternative that might work.

To your first point, yes. Some idiot twenty years ago said to a bunch of guidance counselors that software engineering would be a sure way to get money, so there’s way too many in the US; on top of this companies don’t want to pay even close to a living wage so they import H1Bs. Competition is ridiculous.

To your second point and exacerbating the first… Every company, practically, uses AI screening software, and before that just plain old applicant screening software. Your resume won’t get seen by a human unless you’re lucky enough to get through the layers of screening, so it’s an arms race to guess what they’re screening for and add that to your resume while not exaggerating too much so as to make the human after the screening process to not throw away your resume.

And at the end of this; especially in software but more and more in less specialized, less skilled positions, you have to still do 3+ interviews.

You mean portable GPS devices that have been around for a decade before smart phones?
