Yeah, you. A glut of degrees is not responsible for company's demanding degrees. The general refusal of companies to invest in R&D or training, in lieu of stock buybacks or executive compensation is the driving factor there.. The high cost of education also has more to do with state's clawing back education dollars then anything students or universities are doing.
Your parents and grandparents, maybe you, received many more public dollars towards their education then today's students. There was a time when anyone with the desire to get a degree could count on federal loans and part time work to fulfill their dream. Barring excessive outside obligations, anyone had the opportunity. That time has passed. Now it's either crippling debt or family wealth that allows you to get an education. I
want to go back to a time where anyone who wanted to learn, had the opportunity. I want to live in a community full of educated people, not simpletons like yourself.
My comment is directed at the people complaining about others degrees devaluing theirs. That is only true in the smallest microcosm. Bringing others up, always helps you reach higher, but some people are happy to wallow in the mud as long as it's slightly better mud then someone else's.
Labor is cheap, what we need is a legal framework that values labor as much as it values capital. Things don't get done just because they are owned. They get done because someone puts in work. A paycheck to paycheck laborer is just as much at risk as a vaunted business owner if the business goes under.
Yeah, that part of his statement might not have been stupider then supporting Cruz, Trump, or Carson (seriously?). It certainly showed his true colors... I'd hate to be on the receiving end of his facebook feed.
You can't argue with someone who would prefer to be a feudal lord. They'll shit in a bucket if it means everyone else is shitting in a smaller bucket. I prefer plumbing.
The hardest part is convincing them that they won't necessarily be on top when shit fall apart.
That's too rational. You want people to be able to compare jobs? The whole point is to make it impossible to tell if your 15% raise will be more then eaten up by benefits when you change jobs. At least in the US, it's impossible to accurately compare two offers from different companies. Health insurance costs vary so significantly between companies in different industries or companies of different sizes.
oh, I agree, bu it's being done today and will be done in the future. I say accept the change and deal with the consequences. Don't ignore it and pretend we can avoid it.
I'm not convinced this is anything but flying cars in the 50's (wishful thinking).
None of those guys were really left, despite the rhetoric. They wanted sole power and used whatever populist notion they could to get there. Stalin never had any intention of creating a workers paradise.

Don't be so sure.
Bill, stop picking up my "loose ends" you don't know what your doing and it just makes more work for me.
2 week minimum? Must not be the US.

Sounds like a great way to get unrelated items connected because it looks good.
Those unlimited vacation days are an accounting trick to avoid a ledger balance of vacation that is owed to employees.

40 to 50 hours is still hellish, I see it sneaking into conversations as if it's the expected norm. I get everything done in 40 hours or less.

"The Jungle" covered this in 1906.
I think our major problem was that Agile was in the hands of an all around bad manager. Daily meetings were inflexible and not helpful.
My boss in charge of a group of system admins tried to use this method. It sucked and I quit.

That comment is just there for a future H1B argument.

Not to mention this would crater the one part of the economy that is growing, healthcare...

What's causing the increase in Indianapolis? I can certainly believe the police attribute any increase to prop 47. That doesn't make it true.
I doubt your app is solving world hunger. Your users can wait afew days for an update to their photo app.
Their job could deal with restricted export systems.

So it's OK for Disney to shop for workers anywhere in the world, but not for it's consumers to shop for their movies from anywhere in the world?
So little imagination... ;(
