The government just prints more money and the people who get dumped on are ordinary working people who don't get raises and have to pay higher prices for EVERYTHING from the inflation.
Outlaw government stealth taxes and keep their Weimar, dystopian fingers out of our pockets.
"you are paid and you are hired for what you are worth, not for your age or title"
No, no, no... there are a lot of other factors: what hiring managers think their superiors will let them get away with, appearances, etc. There is a TON of itch scratching in the hiring process that have nada to do with what the job listing says companies are looking for. I have a recruiter friend (who I have never worked with to get a SW dev job), and he told me out of all the decades he's spent recruiting there is a TON more shenanigans in the hiring company than the candidates. I got a couple certifications and my pay went up 30%. Does that mean I became 30% more capable? No, I just looked different. My contribution capability did not change.
The problem is studios are formulaic about their stories, waaay lost in the jungle of fantasy, and getting very preachy about what political view they KNOW I should have.
I'm not paying for that. I'm not pirating that. I'm staying away.
6 months ago everyone in the media was decrying the LIES Trump was telling about how businesses will come back to the US.
A lot of people (including my friends) said, "Micah, those jobs are gone FOREVER!".
Well, like a lot of industries recently, the jobs start coming back and the columnist mills are apoplectic about it. This wasn't supposed to happen! Things weren't supposed to be better under Trump! Jobs are bad! We are supposed to be building a post-jobs economy. That's what Nancy Pelosi basically said when she mentioned some people would be removed from the burden of working after the ACA.
My guess is voters will forget in the mid terms they wanted this and not really notice this campaign promise was basically delivered, unlike others.
Yesterday's conspiracy theories are today's common knowledge (IRS scandal, NSA scandal, NEA scandal, Susan Rice unmasking Trump staff scandal).
My friend who works in hospice care in Florida told me years ago the Obama administration was coming down on his company because the survival duration was too long.
The government services presented as aid to the helpless are tools of oppression and tyranny.
Hey... I've been encouraged by reading about your long career and how you navigate it. I'm not sure why people respond with such nasty stuff when you post. I don't think I've seen what tech stack you are on. Could you tell me?
This is why $18.4 in tax payer funds falling from the sky accomplishes no space victories for us.
As a conservative I'd be genuinely interested in hearing Bernie explain if this nonsense promotes the general welfare socialists talk about all the time.
I don't see any governments or government coalitions landing anyone on the moon or mars in our lifetimes or any point in the future.

"You really need to know why" sounds like you have super secret reasons that are inarguable and perhaps, subtly, wearing the mantle of Keynes.
I see two or three flawed premises there.
Why do women get jobs just for being good looking?
Advantages and disadvantages to being a woman.
The government's view is: leave the laundering, extortion, and fraud to the professionals ... the government.
I am going to call shenanigans on this.

All three. It is true (i.e. it happened). It is bad. It is illegal.
I concede your points, but are you suggesting they are new and/or increasing?
My impression is they've always been this bad.
That's true. Several metrics have been shown lately revealing Netflix is going cheaper / less on content. That's why Disney is pulling out.
Why isn't there pressure to remove BLM, radical Islam, Marxist, and socialist content?
Answer: because conservatives are OK with their being people who disagree with them.
Liberals are NOT OK with there being people who disagree with them.
American gulags are not far away.

No, no, no
Tickets sales are WAAY down.

What's bad is Zuckerberg sending out a memo saying no hires over 29.
Reminds me of how the Committee of Public Safety facilitated the executions during the French Revolution
"The proper thing to do ..."
... shudder ...
Shudder
My ancestors moved to America so they could make their own choices instead of hearing disguised opinions about what is proper.
What is your tech stack / general location?
Neither does the devil

Does Susan Rice know about this?
How is the government supposed to help the democratic process?
Why can't we build wonderful countries like Venezuela?
No respect for any company that refuses to hire over 29 year olds
You mean it worked out pretty good for the Canadians to get free nuclear protection under the US nuclear umbrella.
A more equitable arrangement would involve sending the Canadians a bill.
Same thing with NATO.
Same thing with the UN.
Wow! That is an incredible story.

Hey
Interesting metric there. Most every country's economy has improved since the 19th century.
US economic growth is much, much lower than it was before it instituted social welfare reforms under TR and FDR and the Johnson expansions.
They're different but the same.
More women attempt suicide, but more men "succeed" with the attempt.
Depends on how you look at it and on what level, but unhappiness / neurosis doesn't differ significantly between men and women.
That stuff is old (i.e. not "news"), but I would like to see it go too.
... at least according to voters.
Btw, a tax break is not a subsidy
