@Niall_Ky @ConsoomerLs The country needs LESS semi truck drivers on the road.

@thundacheeks06 @ConsoomerLs Design industry has been dead for 15+ years now.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@SleeplessSW @ConsoomerLs 100% guarantee they are listing their college degree on Starbucks application. They just need to make up they worked for a fictional family business, took care of a relative, etc. during that time and pretend they have no food/retail experience.

@mudface330 The US was founded by zany Christian Nationalists even Europe didn't want so this has been the makeup of the US since forever.

@ComRedSoda It's a scam product intended to hide/obfuscate what the words actually mean when searched for online.

@MOVIETVWRITERX Entertainers have, like, a 3-5 year shelf life. I don't want to read Jonah Hill headlines when I'm 80. He needs to go away, like every other etertainer after their 15 minutes is up.

@thejaymo WUT ... like 75% of our fake economy/stock market is being propped up by nonstop AI Bros, CEOs and politicians saying AGI is only months away! They won't ever shut up about AI when - in reality - weighted values and autocomplete (which is all AI is) has been around for DECADES.

@AceRedBand1t Everyone totally remembers, except MAGA cultists and Zoomer/Alphas who were in K-12.

@mcsquared34 Fall is best season, Spring is second best and Winter is third. Summer is always crappy. Too hot and humid indeed.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@hailkoenig @avrilbradley23 LOL it ain't about China $ stagnating it's that no one in their right mind in China wants to come to US for education or tourism anymore. They'll head to Europe insteas or likely just travel and go to universities domestically as US is a major hassle now. I can't blame them.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@ondakondratiev @avrilbradley23 Yup. They are totally xenophobic. Always have been. Even in the age of the internet where they can easily see the rest of the world. Even with a mega powerful passport. They don't care about foreign experiences now. They also barely travel WITHIN Japan.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@avrilbradley23 Barely any Japanese people travel. They have a super powerful passport and they mostly dislike other cultures/races so much they hardly ever seek anything outside Japan. US-wise, at most they might visit Hawaii once --- but with Hawaii resort fees now...

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@mlemth You will ALWAYS be able to find decent K-12 jobs nationwide doing Math, guaranteed. Not big bucks initially (teacher benefits are terrific) ... but you'll be fine financially, worst case scenario, even if you never teacher in high ed/do research.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@LegoKingo He sounds like a kid. He just does. Just like AOC sounds like a kid.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@LukeBarnett LOL movies are never gonna be back - they (in US) have been dying for 20+ years now. Ever year ticket sales are massively dropping, even if revenue doesn't drop as fast due to prices. Zoomers and younger don't really even like actual films, aside from horror and Minecraft stuff.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@JJ9828 Also, whatever you write, I highly recommend recording a simple Audiobook version to post on Audible, Everand, etc. and on your book cover making a big blurb that says "100% Human Written, Edited & Recorded - NoAI"

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@JJ9828 Hmmmm....I would recommend having only close friends and/or trusted relatives proofread/edit/offer writing suggestions now. Since 2022, odds are any stranger you hire will just immediately upload your text/PDF to some AI website and pretend to be an editor.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@the_transit_guy We've got a billion other problems in 2026 man. Burying visually unpleasant wires in metro areas is NOT even in the top 1,000 must-do list of things.

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@breakingyoun Yup. Same goes for Dumb & Dumber. Jim Carrey's only truly great comedy. The rest of his comedy filmography is "oh...okay" and same with Will Smith in MiB. All his other comedies are like, "Oh...sure, I guess..."

[Scott Carmichael @ X @scottcarmx]

@hubertlepicki That's crazy you had them all, simultaneously. There's definitely not that much good/great stuff being made now to warrant any of them, year-round.
