Wow. That’s a take. Thanks for responding in depth, I certainly learned something from our interaction today.

I agree with most of what you say, but you’re really talking up Putin, who is worse than Trump so far. How do you believe the Ukraine war should be resolved?

Fair point on disabled people and mothers shouldn’t be counted for a year after birth. If rich people are unemployed yes they should be counted.

I’d prefer a straight up count of individuals not in school, training, or employment age 18 to retirement age.

The unemployment rate is a lie. If you’re unemployed for more than six months you stop being counted.

I took a class on behavioral interviewing back when I was a food service general manager. It was very different from the question on the form above. I had to interview a lot of people. Hundreds over the years.

The essence of behavioral interviewing is actually very simple.

Rather than ask “Can you tell me about your leadership abilities?”

You ask “Can you tell me about a time when you used your leadership abilities to overcome a problem?”

Most of the time they will answer as if you asked the first question. Let them finish or wait for a pause, then say “What I’d really like to know is if you can tell me about one specific example of when you used your leadership abilities.”

You can encourage them to provide an answer by saying “This doesn’t have to be about work, it could be from a family situation, something from your community life, or something from school.”

I think it is very effective.

That everything bagel seasoning is the shit. Kinder’s is a brand I hadn’t seen until recently and their seasonings are awesome. Not full of sugar which I hate. They’re a bit pricy but they come in big-ass bottles

Guilty as charged. I buy $4 avocados in the winter because I’m rich as fuck.

Not really. I buy them when they’re $1 or less, in season. I’ve never even made avocado toast for real. I cut them in half, score them, then squeeze lime juice on plus salt or Tajin. Scoop them with a spoon. So delicious.

Stop it! The avocado toast shit is so old, my wife’s mom repeated it like it was a clever joke two years ago

Raw dogging it sucks. I got sober years ago, but I had a couple bad relapses. Now I’m at a point where I can get drunk once or twice a week without it taking over my life. Not everyone can do this though so be careful.

I can’t get drunk when I have to work the next day. I don’t know how I used to do it every day. The hangovers are fucking brutal.

Cops think they’re rich now? Or that their masters will do anything other than use them as grunts in the class war? Cops are working class just like most people, they’re just class traitors.

Terrible businessman too. He could have said nothing and sales could go way up because his backpack got huge media coverage. But he had to be the little tattletale bitch he’s always been, calling the cops. Hope he goes bankrupt because most people who see this shit won’t buy his backpack. SEO- Peak Design shitty products

What in the world are you talking about? The government doesn’t exist to profit, it’s not a corporation despite shitty people’s ideas that it should be run like one. Why would its revenue, which is all spent, be taxed? Are you saying taxes should be taxed? Where would the tax on government revenue even go?
