I've been harping on this for a long time. Griggs v. Duke power has probably been one of the worst things to ever happen to people that are smart from non wealthy families, and similarly awful for employers. Unfortunately, maybe 5% of the population is able to understand second order effects. Road to hell paved with good intentions etc etc.
Nobody ever talks about this, but the reason you have to go to college is A, because Griggs v. Duke Power Company made it illegal for presumptive employers to IQ test, and B, inner city High-Schools basically aren't allowed to fail a student as long as they physically show up. So you end up in this trap where a High-School diploma that you worked very hard for means nothing, because a kid who did coloring books and addition and subtraction got a paper saying he has the same qualification. Ok, then just give me an intelligence test, oh wait you cant, thats also illegal because it causes "disparate impact". So now the only proxy for basically literacy and ~105~ IQ is a 4 year meaningless degree that costs 10s of thousands of dollars. But wait, now they hand those out to anyone, (1/4 of 4yr grads have an IQ of or below 95), so now you need a Master's, or specialty training, or a million other bullshit things. So you get them, but wait, a diploma mill in Hyderabad cranked out 100M guys who also have a Master's on paper, and will work for 1/3 the price, so now you dont have a job. Ok, ill work construction, but wait, you dont live in a State with strong Unions, so any non-specialized construction work is done by slaves from Guatemala, so you decide to stay home and take Percocet instead. Awesome system we've built.

They are all funded by China as well, you can hardly take Greenpeace seriously right. Never ever protesting against all that is happening in China but the first one protesting against Nuclear or promoting fake irregular energy sources such as wind, while killing the bird population. full china actors.
I do think this is a huge part of the reason why the entire green/ climate change movement fell by the wayside; it was just too hard to keep the narrative going without pointing this out

Democrat funded
Morderca z Krakowa, Michał Oksiński, był radykalnym lewicowym aktywistą, antyfaszystą i anarkokomunistą, który naigrywał się z chrześcijaństwa. Rząd Tuska i media chciały go powiązać z grupami prawicowymi, ale dziś wiadomo, że tak nie jest. Wszystko wyciekło z kont Oksińskiego, które teraz zostały usunięte, pytanie brzmi: kto usunął dwa konta napastnika na Facebooku, skoro jego oboje rodziców i siostrę znaleziono martwych w ich mieszkaniu ⁉️ Publikował na ukraińskich forach i nosił ukraińską flagę na niektórych ze swoich mundurów...

A patch from US private military group Forward Observations Group (FOG), linked to foreign fighters in Ukraine, was found on the body armor of the Krakow mass shooter.
What weapon is that? Not Soviet or Russian.

Han talks about this
I asked my neighbor what it was like in the 80s in LA. He said rent was $420 a month and he spent his whole 20s partying, dating, practicing Karate and watching movies with his friends. What we doing here, man? 😭

Nederlanders zijn een beetje simpele mensen geworden teveel afhankelijk van de overheid en zekerheden, hypotheek betalers of dik betaalde ambtenaren die drie dagen per week werken en “beleggen”. al de boomers kijken het goy staatsjournaal en slikken het als zoete koek en worden boos als je tegenargumenten hebt
Bizar hoeveel mensen dat gedweep met Zelensky en oneindig veel geld sturen maar Oekraïne voor "onze vrijheid" als zoete koek slikken. Zijn dat dezelfde lui die blindelings Corona van Hugo geloofden? Ik denk van wel.

Ok
I run a corporate consulting firm that specializes in small businesses, and I've dealt with more dysfunctional owners like this than I care to remember. I can tell you EXACTLY what's going on here. This guy had HALF his competent workforce walk off the job, can’t retain new hires even after doubling wages, and the workers who do stick around can’t even clean a fish tank without causing thousands of dollars in damages. And his conclusion is that an entire generation is unemployable?! Complete and utter nonsense. I can practically guarantee that if I sat down with the employees who quit, it wouldn't even take five minutes to figure out why they all left: An arrogant, insufferable, Boomer tyrant who treats his employees like garbage, blames everyone else for his own failures, and has created such a miserable working environment that anyone with two functioning brain cells and another employment opportunity immediately slams the eject button. Which, incidentally, explains why the only employees he can retain are apparently too stupid to tie their own shoes. The most incredible part is that this guy thinks offering $35 an hour somehow vindicates him. Do you have any idea how thoroughly you have to screw up as an employer to make $73,000 a year CLEANING FISH TANKS sound like a bad deal? And rather than engage in even a moment of self-reflection, he takes to X, publicly announcing that everyone who has ever worked for him is a lazy, incompetent moron. I cannot imagine why people don’t want to work for this man. I've got news for you, pal, and you might want to pay attention because I normally charge $400 an hour for this: When everyone who has the ability to leave your business does so, and the only people left are the ones nobody else will hire, it isn’t an employee problem. It’s a YOU problem. And the fact that you apparently had to shut down an otherwise profitable business before figuring that out tells me everything I need to know about why you had no business running one in the first place.

Just gypsy stuff: In Cluj, Transylvania (most expensive city in RO, IT hub etc), a bunch of gyppos got moved ("were deported" as a leftoid journalist called it) ~15 years ago from apartments they were illegally occupying to containers built by the City Hall near the city's landfill. Some of them moved from there, many remained. The issue became iconic for all the local leftoids (generously funded by foreign money), muh ghetto, muh discrimination. Now the City wants to clean up the area (and its image) so it deports the gyppos once again, but in a cleaner, more "Western" way. It's demolishing the landfill shantytowns and buying (with taxpayer money) apartments in a suburb of Cluj to relocate the gyppos there. In apartment blocs with normal people who otherwise have to work and make 30 years mortgages in one of the most expensive areas in the country. Predictably the gyppos start making life hell for the co-inhabitants of the bloc, some people sell and the whole thing becomes a political hot potato. The left-wing journos write op-eds in national online rags about the horrible racism etc. To be continued.

Uh how is this possible are there no sanctions on NK companies/ orgs? Money laudring/ sanction evasion
Kuzey Kore’de Air Koryo diye bir havayolu şirketi var. Bu şirket, uçaklarının ve helikopterlerinin başkalarına verebileceği zararları ülkenin devlet sigorta şirketi KNIC’ye sigortalatıyor. Ama KNIC de büyük bir kazada milyonlarca euro ödemek istemiyor. Bu yüzden gidip kendisini de Avrupa’daki büyük sigorta şirketlerine sigortalatıyor. Yani sistem şöyle çalışıyor. Air Koryo’nun helikopteri ya da uçağı bir yere düşüp zarar verirse önce Kuzey Koreli sigorta şirketi ödeme yapacak, ardından bu parayı Londra’daki sigortacılardan geri alacak. İşin içinde Alman Allianz, İtalyan Generali ve Londra’dan bazı sigortacılar var. Anlaşmada ilginç bir madde de var. Herhangi bir anlaşmazlık çıkarsa Kuzey Kore yasaları geçerli olacak ve davaya Kuzey Kore mahkemeleri bakacak. Avrupalı şirketler bunu kabul edip sözleşmeyi imzalıyor. Derken 9 Temmuz 2005’te o helikopter kazası yaşanıyor. Kuzey Kore’nin başkenti Pyongyang’da bir helikopter gece saat 11 civarında bir depoya düşüyor. Helikopter parçalanıyor, içindeki 6 kişi hayatını kaybediyor. Depoda bulunan yardım malzemeleri de büyük zarar görüyor. Air Koryo’nun anlattığına göre helikopter, üçüz bebeklere hamile bir kadını hastaneye yetiştirmek için uçuyor. Fakat Pyongyang’da yardım malzemelerinin bulunduğu bir depoya düşüyor. Depoyu işleten kurum, Air Koryo’dan zararını karşılamasını istiyor. İş mahkemeye gidiyor ve Kuzey Kore mahkemesi 7,6 milyar won tazminata hükmediyor. Air Koryo bu zararı karşılıyor, ardından kendi sigorta şirketi KNIC’ye başvuruyor. KNIC de yapılan hukuki işlemlerin ardından yaklaşık 7,3 milyar won ödeme yapıyor. Kuzey Kore kendi içerisinde herkesin sorununu çözüyor. Geriye bir tek Kuzey Kore Devlet sigorta şirketi KNIC’ın parayı Avrupa’dan temin etmesi kalıyor. Sonra sıra Avrupalı sigortacılara geliyor. KNIC, sözleşmede yazan kur üzerinden hesap yapıyor ve Avrupalılardan yaklaşık 45,6 milyon euro istiyor. Ama Avrupalılar parayı ödemeyi reddediyor. Çünkü ortada şüphelendikleri bir durum var. Helikopter gerçekten düşmüş olsa bile depodaki zararın anlatıldığı kadar büyük olmadığını, hatta tazminat talebinin Kuzey Kore devletine döviz kazandırmak için hazırlanmış bir dolandırıcılık olabileceğini söylüyorlar. Kuzey Koreli şirket geri adım atmıyor. 2006 yılında Avrupalı sigortacıları Pyongyang’da mahkemeye veriyor. Kuzey Kore mahkemesi de Kuzey Koreli KNIC lehine karar veriyor. Avrupalı şirketlerin yaklaşık 43,45 milyon euro ödemesine hükmediyor. Tabii Kuzey Kore mahkemesinin karar vermesi, Londra’daki şirketlerin parayı hemen göndereceği anlamına gelmiyor. Avrupalılar yine ödemiyor. Bunun üzerine Kuzey Koreli şirket 2007’de bu kez İngiltere’de dava açıyor. Pyongyang mahkemesinin verdiği kararın Londra’da da uygulanmasını istiyor. Düşünün, dünyanın en kapalı ülkelerinden birinin devlet sigorta şirketi, Avrupa’nın en büyük sigortacılarını İngiliz mahkemelerinde sıkıştırmaya çalışıyor. Avrupalı şirketler ise bu dolandırıcılık diyor. Dava uzadıkça uzuyor. Sonra Avrupalı sigortacılar Kuzey Koreli şirketle anlaşmaya varıyor. Toplam 40 milyon euro ödemeyi kabul ediyorlar. Bu esnada Kuzey Koreli KNIC için dolandırıcılık iddialarını da geri çekiyorlar. Yani Kuzey Koreli şirket, yıllarca süren davaların sonunda Londra’daki sigortacılardan 40 milyon euroluk ödeme alıyor. İşin ilginç tarafı, mahkeme kesin bir hüküm vermiyor. Taraflar dava bitmeden kendi aralarında anlaşıyor. Sonu olarak İngilizler Kuzey Kore’nin dolandırıcılık yaptığını kanıtlamadan dosyayı kapatıyor. Kuzey Koreli şirket ise istediği paranın büyük bölümünü alarak masadan kalkıyor. Dünyanın en kapalı ülkelerinden biri olan Yani Kuzey Kore, ortada gerçekten bir kazanın yaşandığına dair bir kanıt bile olmadan Avrupalı sigorta şirketlerinden 40 milyon euro alarak ülkesine dönüyor. Bu adamlarla baş edilmez…

Het is gewoon een ouderwetsmodel, komt nooit meer terug. daarnaast krijgen alle vliegtuigmaatschappijen steun van de overheid (behalve ryanair) niet alleen direct subsidies maar ook lage vliegveldtarieven etc Ook nemen ze niet van die duur betaalde mensen aan maar jongeren/ werknemers uit goedkopere gebieden tegen slechtere arbeidsvoorwaarden.
Teloorgang in beeld broeken en sneakers rok met platte schoen was enig juiste! @AirFranceKLM
