    A current labor market and creative hiring discussion

    PEOPLE 
    The internet made all jobs seems to be the glossy kind, now nobody wants to work a gloomy job. If your client can't even pay Walmart level rates, which is being berated for being cheap on the news, then I am afraid there is nothing to save them. Hell I don't even think new immigrants wants those...

    Why don't manufacturers sell directly to consumers?

    You know that's how Taiwan sells cars, right? In the US, there are state laws says you have to sell cars through a dealership, means to create jobs... But I'd say those used car salesman jobs are much better entry level jobs for high school grads than anything else society has to offer. The...

    Class of 2021

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I can't imagine anyone who is a grad right now without a respectable STEM degree, business degree majors maybe getting $60k a year straight out of school, and that's if you are the top dog, plus that's barely enough to live in Cali. Most people I know with those mass market degrees gets $40k a...

    The New US Tax Plan and Your New 50% Biz Partner (the US Gov)

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Obviously, this is a plan created by the truly ultra rich to tax to death all the small up and coming small businesses so the business of monopoly can continue, reasonable since the current population wants an expanded welfare state. The private welfare states/company towns of the 1950s are...

    Contrarian Opinion Here: Money is no longer representative of Created Value

    RANT 
    If you really work on wall street, then it should come easily: people wants a free lunch, except this universe does not offer that, but that sure is the fastest way to sell your products though... Honestly I read all his other books, but this book really is not like the same. It is written in...

    Capital in the 21st Century

    HOT! 
    The point was never about capitalism vs socialism, the point is always about top down approach vs bottom up approach. Today we have a world wide capitalism running in a top down, soviet style fashion, and how does that work? If someone can invent some kind of tech that enables bottom up...

    Time to read that excellent book that came out this year, "Skin in the game". I read it twice, first time ebook, second time I love it so much I bought a physical copy just to support the author.

    Contrarian Opinion Here: Money is no longer representative of Created Value

    RANT 
    How do you think the magical years for the average people after WW2 came about? That was also the age of monopiles, much like now. A nation of average people wanting above average welfare will get that, because only monopiles can deliver that kind of efficiency. Look at the voting blocs from...

    He is also assuming 12% interest returns, that's like Warren buffet numbers. In reality, he will get about 6% after tax and all the other bullshit that will happen in 30 years from now, if he is lucky. Well that's going to happen to all of our mutual funds anyways.

    Holy shit is this real life?!

    HOT! 
    I like the video game bit, it's almost the exact opposite of reality. In video games, you do very little work made up by technology, while completing epic achievements. In life, you have to do very much a lot work, for just a simplest achievement. A nation of young people drowning in video games...

    Harsh Reality vs Pursuing Your Dreams

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    "I have a set of principles that I believe everyone could adapt". "Number one is embrace reality and deal with it". Opps Ray, sorry to tell you, that's 90% of the humanity, gone, out of window. We'd be lucky the rest of the 10% can embrace this principle for the rest of their working lives...

    Harsh Reality vs Pursuing Your Dreams

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    "Why not launch a business with very few competitors where you have much higher chances of success?" This is the hardest thing out of all the things you listed, that's why people rather pursuit a dream that has 0.01% of becoming real, because following the footsteps of someone who has done it...

    Reddit: I am the child of a billionaire. Ask Me Almost Anything

    PEOPLE 
    People who say it's not what you know its who you know is bullshit, maybe all you are running is a small businesses? Where the money gets to multiple millions and up, it's all about who you know not what you know. This is the result of a highly technocratically managed society. To get into...

    Why don't manufacturers sell directly to consumers?

    Because invention is the mother of necessity, not the otherwise which conventional wisdom has been telling you. We have absolutely no need of another electric car and living on Mars, and yet here we are today working on them.

    Slowlane salesman, 180k/year.

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    So essentially what happened is, someone in the higher ups must saw your number, and your earnings, and decided to off load that to someone else, possibly because you are making too much and putting them on a pedestal. Lucky you realized you had no control, and are at least doing something about it.

    When did you realize the system is rigged?

    I work indirectly with one of those, who owns the most expensive one. I get paid well, don't do much, have no skin in the game, and you are paying for it, and no, you have no choice to opt out either. I know it's rigged cause I am living in it, only that I know for most people, they don't think...
