  • Literally just asking the democrats to not attack leftists, and adopt like fucking any popular leftist policies, be open to changing for the better, not simply say “sorry best we can do is trump+1”

    Of the people, it’s not a big ask. Sadly the people don’t seem to matter as much as corporations for some weird reason.


  • Ah yes, unity. The unity of attacking third parties. Of suing candidates to remove them from the ballot. Of refusing to run a primary to learn the wishes of the party. What great unity. I’ll pass on the party of “nothing will fundamentally change” with your views of “unity” like that.

    I agree we need to come together so the left stops losing. But the democrats do not agree with that, and will actively sabotage it as much as possible. And until that changes, we’re fucked. We need a party willing to adapt to the people on the left, not republicans.







  • yeah the article is about companies literally not offering to train people and how skill gaps exist we aren’t filling because companies expect people to come in already knowing stuff and they basically only hire college grads for entry level answer phone bullshit and expect them to experiment on their own and learn their own shit if they want a real job.

    I agree in general an AA is general knowledge and critical thinking, a BS should give you specific knowledge to your job, while maybe not exactly what you need to do, at least enough to enter and be able to figure out most things.

    The problem with tech is A: how fast it evolves makes it hard to just teach old stuff and say yeah it just works the same because it very often is a completely different solution. And B: science has been around for ages so labs that can teach general skills actually necessary have been developed and businesses that deal with science understand you need to train employees on protocols and how to use your Lims system or whatever. Tech industry is just wild where people who don’t understand it also run it and thus assume everyone who knows it can do whatever because it’s all the same.


  • That’s the biggest problem with learning tech from a college: developing, vetting, publishing, and adopting curriculum all take a good chunk of time. More time than it takes for new tech to arise.

    It’s not hard to see going to trainings/expos/etc. on new/current/upcoming tech while working at a business is going to be a lot more useful than learning 5-20 year old tech in college.

    Now, I’m mostly just assuming things as I did not go to college for tech, but I work in education so I know how things typically go.
