Oh man, here it is a Monday again. The littlest one has decided sleep is for the weak and that 4am is the correct time to rise and fuckin’ shine. I’m not particularly shiny after the third of these. If he wasn’t so damn cute, I’d turn him out and let him fend for himself. We were at the beach yesterday, the water having reached my preferred temperature of above 80 degrees. It’s like a nice warm bath. Some places charge a decent amount of money to let you float in a warm salty tub of water. Anyhow, some sand was eaten, kids ran around, the little one still did not sleep until 4:15. I’m gonna make the little punk get a paper route or something as payback.
This fusion rocket is only 20 years away, and will still be there 20 years from now.
I wrote an article for a now defunct site about 15 years ago pointing out that euthanasia for the expensive is inevitable end of nationalized health systems. Yes, yes. Self-ownership. You want to kill yourself, go ahead. The government shouldn’t have an interest in making it easy for a doctor to kill you.

I’ve always been an early riser. At a certain point, I just had time to get dressed, prep for school and still watch Superfriends on UHF before the bus came.

JHTFC — just use Starship to get to orbit, and then build a MF’ing Orion. That’s how to do nuclear when we can’t sustain fusion, dumbasses. And you can haul a spare Starship for your landing craft and leave it there, plus the shielding will shield the crew as well (frankly, part of the shielding should be a big block of ice — radiation shield + water supply and all).
Nothing’s gonna stop you now.
They should build a city up there.
Just check the seismics first — building it on rock and roll sounds all good at first, but really, we build this city on m’f’ing bedrock is wiser.

Surprised they could catch enough rainwater.
In most cases you hear about these things, especially if the boat is disabled — they rig the sail to catch and funnel it to a container of some sort. Don’t know if that’s part of some stock survival training for oceangoing craft (but it probably should be).
It is. If you’re out there for any extended period, you’ve definitely pondered how you’re going to survive.

Poor things, waiting to be spoon fed
While tackling grunt work and hoping to learn a job via osmosis isn’t a great way to start a career, corporate America has left young workers with few other options. Over the past several decades, many companies have gutted training programs, neglected mentorship, and taken no responsibility for fostering workers’ development. Now, with the advent of generative AI, organizations are starting to automate many “junior” tasks — stripping away their dubious last attempt to “teach” young employees. It’s no wonder that several surveys have found that members of Gen Z are particularly concerned about AI’s effect on their careers; in a recent survey by the job-posting site ZipRecruiter, 76% of Gen Zers indicated they were worried about losing their jobs to ChatGPT.
America’s young workers are headed toward a career calamity. They may be more comfortable using ChatGPT and other AI technology than their older coworkers, but the managerial obsession with artificial intelligence threatens to undermine their ability to launch a career. Management spent decades disconnecting themselves from the younger workers who are the backbone of their businesses. And if these executives already won’t train their junior employees, it’s no surprise they’re ready to get rid of them altogether.
——-
Once young workers do finally break into the corporate world, they face another brutal reality: Companies have no interest in helping them move up the career ladder. Many companies have shown absolutely no consideration for fostering and developing workers’ abilities, leaving young workers to largely fend for themselves as they attempt to establish a career path. A 2014 study by Peter Cappelli, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, found that in 1979 “young workers received on average about 2.5 weeks of training per year” but that by 1995 it had fallen to just under 11 hours annually. Capelli also found scant evidence that things had improved in the years since.
I do not doubt that this is in some part true, but I suspect a lack of (perceived) initiative plays a role.
Then develop some initiative in yourself and get cracking. If the company has no interest in training you beyond what your job is, either move on or fight for it.
Yeah… many, many companies provide all kinds of training.
Look harder.
Maybe because “job jumping” is so much more common now? Why put a bunch of time and effort into training when so many* younger people have no problem switching jobs after a year or two?
*anecdotally speaking. Anyone seen any numbers on this?
I’ve seen it with my son. Every company he’s interned/worked for loses people like crazy. Corporate types better pull their heads out of their asses. It’s pretty easy to move and the stigma of jumping appears to be dead.
I kind of feel bad for him. At his current spot his boss had mentor written all over him. Enter retarded management and the guy is leaving.
So yes, the youngsters will jump, but I think it cuts both ways.
Compare and contrast the above Business Insider article with this article from BI, published just 16 days previously.
Journalistic masturbation on full display.
Yes. Not thinking and letting computers do you work means – nobody needs you.
I call BS on that entire article. AI is not a button you press to write your emails. I bet he spends more time fiddling with it than he would just writing a fucking email himself.
Yeah emails? If you can’t collect your thoughts for an email, maybe you aren’t the person for the job. Now I used it to help with a package, but mainly had it do many different drafts and I used it so fill in some spaces I couldn’t quite put from brain to paper.
I’ve gotten pretty good answers to technical questions a couple times. Stuff that a regular web search couldn’t handle.
I would be willing to bet that tech questions will be an easy fill for AI, while making actual legible art will be a long time coming.
Huh. Couldn’t be the fact that the insufferable little snots have no interest in shutting up and learning. Nope, but evul capitalists at work.
One of the Altar Boys just started his first professional job and has encountered this. He asked me how to make friends at work. All his colleagues are in their 40’s and 50’s. I told him to never whine, never snitch and be polite. They’d come around.
Even here in FedGov. Trying to find my replacement among my peers and its just…no drive, no initiative, no go get em attitude. Just sit back and be told what to do and then complain they get no other training or mentorship.
I am landlocked by such people. I cant get anything done. I should just retire and watch it all go to hell.
My son is finding the same thing. My first job out of college was with a small finance company. We were all close in age and spent a lot of time together socially. It seemed pretty normal at the time.
My first job out of college was Andersen Consulting and we all hung out a lot. It was a weird (but fun) place to work.
One of the reasons we hung out a lot is because they were the ones who understood the cult-like atmosphere. I still meet more ex-coworkers from that place than in all of the other jobs I have had had.
Yeah, my boss and I are still friends almost 30 years later. We weren’t in a cult, but going public and being on the front lines of a small cap is a bonding experience.
I also think that it was from a period of your life that was when you were proving yourself (to others and your own self) and that makes it special. Anyone around was probably doing the same so you all feel the same about that era.
lol I remember those days.
Tell him to wait 20 years and he won’t care about making friends at work.
Tell him to join the Glibs and he’ll have friends he doesn’t even like and vice versa.
Yeah! Fuck them assholes!

Culmination of decades of feeding the lie that a college degree makes one qualified. This is the tail result I suspect.
My entire Lots Notes training was my boss handing me the Developer’s Guide one day and assigning a bunch of new features for our project’s app to me.
My development path started with “I have no idea why this code snippet works, but it does and I have a deadline” to actually becoming a pretty widely acknowledged expert in it (at least amongst my company).
And Lotus Notes wasn’t the only language I learned that way. I think the only formal training I ever got was in C and Pascal. All the rest was just getting a book and learning as I go.
You might assume organizations would try to foster mentorship in the workforce as a way to make up for the lack of rigorous training. Not so fast. While mentorship is associated with higher levels of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, a 2023 Pew Research Center survey found that only 44% of Americans workers had one. And while formal mentorship programs exist, they’re often voluntary. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that voluntary mentorship programs led to worse outcomes than mandatory ones and that those who most needed the help of a mentor were less likely to join these types of programs.
Sounds like a self-correcting problem.
A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that voluntary mentorship programs led to worse outcomes than mandatory ones
Who’s forcing me to be a mentor?
He’s a grown man. Fishing’s not that hard.
With no training and no real professional development, young workers in recent years have been left with only one way to learn the ropes on the job: grunt work. In theory, these small jobs were meant to allow young workers to familiarize themselves with simpler processes and prove themselves competent enough to take on more challenging work. But they often resulted in young workers feeling a lack of purpose at work because the work didn’t feel like a meaningful contribution to the company or a way to actually progress to the next level. But with the advent of generative AI in the workplace, the jig is up.
So what you’re saying is those are jobs which should not exist.
Yeah, you should never have to start out with the simple jobs and move your way up. Nope, just jump right to the top of the heap!
Every company has shit jobs to do. The way of the world is that the new guys get to do them. In theory, after a while there will be better job opening up and you can move into them and the new new guys can start doing the shit jobs.

Teen #1 got a $1.25 raise at Harbor Freight within a month at his new job. He got it because he takes the shit shifts, makes an effort to learn beyond his duties and seeks out additional tasks to take on. It isn’t a hard concept. A company will reward you if they see you are worth rewarding.
Many, many, moons ago, back when I was just a driver, I saw that there was going to be a week were there wasn’t really a dispatcher, due to vacations and what not. So, I stepped right into the boss’s office and said I would be happy to help out, in addition to my normal route. All of the oldtimers couldn’t believe that the boss said OK, and that two months later I had the job permenantly.
Initiative! What’s it good for? Absolutely everything, say it again!
Wait! You took control of your own career and advocated for yourself?
No, no, no, no. You are supposed to wait for HR to approve you for a promotion.
Well, they have DEGREE’s! That should count for everything, no? And another thing, where is that 100k they were told they would be making with that degree? Times awaisting!
I hope that if they have degrees, they know how to use an apostrophe correctly.
This also reminds me of what happened in fast food with the minimum wage laws. In the Olden Dayz, a manager at a fast food joint would just hire extra teens to make sure everything got done. They were cheap and with enough of them the chores would get done.
Then the dogooders started raising the minimum wage. That mob of teen agers was no longer possible. So the managers started doing things like adding sensors to everything and monitoring the kids. And since they were being monitored, it was possible to get along with far fewer of them.
I’m still not a bit believer in this AI shit yet, but seems like the same thing. If it does work, it is making it possible to automate a lot of jobs that used to go to the green beans. Less job opportunities for them.
“fast food with the minimum wage laws.”
My sense is that a lot of kids don’t work much until they leave college. And I suspect that trends gets more solid the higher up the status pole someone goes. It’s pretty hard to imagine the kids of the elites working at Harbor Freight or Costco, or McDonalds. A lot of the kids I teach do work, but they work because they have to to pay the bills. The idea of working for pocket money or socializing seems to be disappearing. Johnny can’t work because he has to be involved in sports three nights a week, etc.
Debby can’t work because she has to “volunteer” at some trendy place so her college application looks good.
All my kids were forced to get jobs. The older Altar Boy ended up getting a job offer at his job as a cashier at Cub because he was working hard. The manager at a Kohl’s told him he was impressed at how fast his line was going and talked him into being a cashier at his store.
Yeah, I had my first job within a week or two of being legally allowed to. I don’t remember it ever really being discussed, you just did it.
And, yes, I should have added the volunteer thing. Some schools also require some “volunteer” things to even graduate. It’s not mandatory here yet, but there are rumors that students will be required to take a class that has a public-facing component (we have a different term, but I’m trying to keep things vague). Since I teach some general intro history courses, I offered to teach such a class where students would learn about the Revolutions from 1787 to 1848 by attempting to sack and burn the main administration building on campus. Strangely, there were no takers.
Vegas schools require ‘volunteer’ work to graduate HS. Tin-foil hat me says its to funnel teens into progressive enclaves which is exactly what my one son did. He didn’t buy into it, just that they were flush with money cause they would send an Uber to pick him up and drop him off for his volunteer work.
I made mine work retail. No better way to a thicker skin.
Both did really well, even my son at Fleet Farm during the covid fishing/firearms/ammo debacle.
Which is weird. Or maybe my upbringing was weird. We were by no means wealthy but not struggling growing up but I maintained my own money, bought my own hockey gear, worked a job and went to school.
My teens? “Hey did you do this thing that takes 30 minutes?” “I HAVE TO WORK TODAY DAD!!!” WTF?
Exactly like my youngest.
My daughter gets that way. However, she’s in college, works, plays in a band and is an avid climber, so I tend to not get too pissed.
I have no good answer to that. But I wonder if more parents believe Johnny is going to the big leagues as a meal ticket?
No, those are a tiny minority. I think the biggest thing is FOMO. If Johnny can’t participate in every extracurricular he’s gonna be sad.
And that’s too much to bear.
Getting into college without a huge debt?
Yeah, that’s a better point than mine – as is Tundra’s.
The amount of money that some parents spend on mediocre athletes, properly invested, will give the kid one hell of a nest egg come college time. ANd not even mediocre ones.
True story: I know a dude who’s son was a no-shit hockey phenom. Just better than everyone. Dad sent him to all the right camps, he didn’t play with his buddies, but rather a AAA stud team. First couple years of high school hockey were lights out. Then, just as his senior season was starting he told his dad he was done. To my knowledge the kid never played again.
Dad figured he dropped more than 100K.

Then develop some initiative in yourself and get cracking. If the company has no interest in training you beyond what your job is, either move on or fight for it.
And this reminds me of several people I have known who worked at Walmart. They did quite well for themselves, and they all said the same thing: if you were willing to do more than just stand around with a dumb look on your face all day, you would be given more responsibility (and raises) in short order. One of my friends (after his previous business got torpedoed by a partner) started in the teevee department t a local store and got moved up and up until he was part of a team which specialized in opening and running new stores while hiring and training the long term local staff.

Hard hitting story.
Former President Donald Trump was caught on video hitting a terrible golf shot, shanking the ball way right of his intended target.
In the video posted on Twitter, the person filming can be heard saying: “Trump’s shooting right now. Let’s see if he can hit the green.”
Despite being a few feet from the putting green, Trump takes his swing and sends the ball flying away from the hole and into the rough.
“Oh, he shanked it,” the commentator said in the video, filmed at the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles, and started laughing.
Is that all they have on him now? Stalking him at a golf green?
Now show me the actual videos of Obama shooting hoops. And I mean the videos, because we were constantly told how great he was and it didn’t match up with any of the videos I ever saw of him actually playing.

Oh, what the hell

Looking through old videos…they’d just toss it out from the stands, if presidents must do it, I’d prefer that. Baby bush and Carter seemed to have good arms from what I saw.

It’s no secret that the relationship between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert has never been worse. The two U.S. representatives yelled at each other on and off the House floor. Greene recently called Boebert a “little bitch” to her face. And Boebert supported Greene’s removal from the Freedom Caucus.
But, lawmakers told The Daily Beast, the situation between the two is still even worse than most people think.
“A fistfight could break out at any moment,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) told The Daily Beast.

Stakeholder capitalism
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren asked the SEC to investigate Tesla and its board of directors to determine whether they violated securities laws after CEO Elon Musk took over Twitter last year.
In a nine-page letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission Monday, the Massachusetts senator said Elon Musk’s long list of responsibilities, from owning Twitter to remaining Tesla’s CEO, “have raised concerns about conflicts of interest, misappropriation of corporate assets, and other negative impacts to Tesla shareholders.” Warren added that the electric car company’s board failed to ensure it has acted in shareholders’ best interests.
Chief among Warren’s concerns in the letter: funneling Tesla (TSLA) resources into Musk’s Twitter takeover, conflicts of interest regarding advertising from other car companies, and possible labor law violations when transitioning some Tesla (TSLA) employees to Twitter.
Warren is asking SEC chair Gary Gensler to conduct the review. Although former NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino took over as the new CEO of Twitter last month, Musk has retained significant control over the site.
Some investors and lawmakers have grown increasingly concerned about Musk’s chaotic control of Twitter, which he bought for $44 billion. Warren wrote that that disorder has spilled over into Musk’s management of one of the most influential electric car companies in the United States. Oppenheimer & Co. downgraded its rating on Tesla solely because of risks posed by the billionaire’s ownership and management of Twitter in 2022. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal Friday, tech investor Cathie Wood said she wrote down her Twitter stake by 47%.
How many shares of Tesla does she own?
Shorter article “Our control over the Social Media giant has slipped a bit, we need to bring it back into the fold in time for 2024”
I don’t know what the big deal is. I’m sure Warren writes nine page letters to the SEC about all kinds of companies.
Surely she has asked them to look into Disney and all the shareholder value they seem determined to throw down a rat hole.
How many shares of Tesla

I suppose the time limit provision doesn’t matter.
Congressional Democrats are attempting to add the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Constitution about 50 years after states failed to ratify it by introducing legislation stating that it has, in fact, been ratified, according to The New York Times.
Congress passed the ERA in 1972 with a seven-year deadline for ratification, but only 35 states ratified it by 1982, falling short of the required three-quarters of states. Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush will introduce a proposal Thursday which ignores the deadline, states that the ERA has already been ratified as the 28th Amendment and urges the National Archivist to certify and publish it immediately, according to the NYT.
“For us, it is already done. The E.R.A. is the 28th Amendment. We just need the archivist to publish it,” Bush said, according to the NYT.
Thus showing that women won’t follow instructions.
Unlike Lia Thomas – those are cuntes.
Brazen.
State of Illinois v David Ferriero held that the deadline was legal and the amendment rejected. They can appeal if they want.
I wonder what it does that isn’t already covered by “Title” this and that or existing law.
Maybe they just want to get it into the Constitution so they can ignore it.
LOL
“Title” whatever is at the mercy of courts and legislation.
Are they forgetting that feminists were actually against ratifying it so they could complain about it?
Well well well.
This explains a lot.

Zuckerberg’s Threads is an attempt by the intelligence agencies and the deep state to regain their strangle hold over social media. Not just a progressive freak-out to Twitter allowing something resembling free speech.
Change my mind.
No argument here.
Facebook came online just as a CIA project for hoovering information went dark.
All SM is IC shit. I have no idea if Musk is really fucking things up, but they are sure going hard at him.
Some coincidence Threads started almost immediately after Musk locked down Twitter.
And is a clone. Still not sure how Meta can get away with that
Lawsuit is ongoing.
But it’s not going to be about the intellectual property theft; it’s going to be about FEEEEELINGZ
I do enjoy some of the hypocrites who are all Musk is an EEEEVIL BILLIONAIREEEE and then toddling over to Zucks’ place, like the dude isn’t also a billionaire (and also a robot lizard person, but besides that).
I’m old enough to remember when Facebook was evil for letting Cambridge Analytica have some data to do the same thing that Obama’s campaign did which was praised as genius.
Ok, I gotta hand it to the idealistic commies with whom I work—they did a pretty good job of turning me into a meme (now my avatar).
For those who can’t squint quite enough, it says

I do love Marx generators. We’d run them in the 3-5MV range.
I always wanted to harness lightning and then I discovered PULSED POWER.

I miss old Chappelle
“And the baby did not look scared.”
I was at the barber shop the other day, engaged in an important debate about the best comic of all time. I took the Chappelle side against some pretty formidable arguments.
I did not back down. He’s the GOAT.
By the way, barber shop arguments are the best arguments.
I never get in barber shop arguments. But then, my barber shop is in front of the garage. Upside: I get to flirt with the girl who cuts my hair (and even occasionally cop a feel) and not get in trouble.
My dad and grandpa decided to go to barber school when my dad was 20something. They worked at the same barber shop for a while, and I remember going there with him. There was always Juicy Fruit gum in the drawer and I could have as much as I wanted.
There was a lot of breeze shootin’, but I don’t remember any of it.
You are that white guy who was laughing at his material for the wrong reasons and why he retired or whatever the fuck he went to Africa to do.
Ok
Damn, Bee!!
