@TimeInvarianceX@RealChrisLangan@BreitbartNews Americans did these jobs BEFORE we became a first world country. It is not possible today because this layer of society simply does not exist.
Did you know that it doesn't exist in Mexico either? Guatemalans do those jobs there illegally. And in Guatemala? It's the Hondurans.
@NamcyPelosi@PenPizzaReport The idea is that if the pizzerias were busy due to an influx of visitors for unrelated reasons (i.e an event or convention), then the bars would be busy too.
If the bars are not busy, it means the increased pizzeria demand is local & probably people working late at the Pentagon
@TaxiCrabb@TDotMason @gunsnrosesgirl3 To be fair, they do pay out of their a$$es for the climbing permits. I think it was like $30k per person the last time I checked.
The Nepal government should use some of those fees to haul away the trash instead of pocketing everything. @PM_nepal_
@Val_Koziol @gunsnrosesgirl3 No, what's immoral is you virtue signaling, and in doing so helping close off the only social elevator that these Sherpas have.
Rich people created the demand and these people have a shot at a decent life now thanks to this. Virtue signalers like you are evil.
@gunsnrosesgirl3 Black & White hands down. It is a legend and no other game has come even close to surpassing it (not even its successor B&W 2).
@ChrisJBakke Oh well. You reap what you sow.
We should put together a database of all companies that were touched by the "MBA plague" so that we can avoid wasting time even looking at the slop they churn out. Just ignore their existence & their enshittified products altogether.
@ChrisJBakke Ironically, the manner in which McKinsey destroyed both companies has little to do with this dance.
It's just the typical MBA modus operandi. "Go full scorched earth to milk every penny out of a company, retire, and leave the wasteland & the consequences to the next guys".
@VKAbramowicz@DrChrisCombs@rookisaacman@elonmusk Strong disagree. The domain of nerds is science and that's what we should stick to. Once we're expected to play low-iq political/PR games, we assimilate into the parasite class. Just look at mainstream academia over the last 2 decades; this is why they can't get anything done!
I think this touches upon a different topic that is seldom discussed. All human progress (not just technological) seems to have a golden age / growth spurt that lasts a few decades, before enshittification kicks in. We need to look into this more as a species.
But the question is, who cares aside from a few tech-minded investors? Most of the tech presently available is nearly useless to most people and suboptimal at best (better technologies were displaced by worse ones). Regress the world to 1970 and lose the migrant half of the US population, and we'd have a much better, more stable, and more humane country and world (as I seem to recall). All that tech does is increase pollution, bloat the superrich as the rest (and best) of humanity gets poorer, facilitate surveillance, control, and censorship, and foster artificial preferences, dependencies, and addictions that degrade human fitness. At this point, further tech of the kind we've been getting is arguably a net liability.

@insightingot@elonmusk Okay but both the $5 and the $5 billion have very little footing in reality as of 1971.
After Nixon robbed us, the only value those papers have are that perceived by other members of the same cult. Untether from the cult and that "money" is only worth the paper it's printed on.
