I seem to remember a news story about a 31-year-old unemployed woman with a biomedical PhD. That ought to qualify her for a job in today's research-driven "knowledge economy", right?
Who knows why a specific individual can't get a job?
Maybe she refuses to relocate to where the jobs are.
Maybe she's had 3 kids and her skills have gone stale.
Maybe she's an insufferable self-entitled bitch who never makes it to work on time.
Maybe she got a shaky PhD from generous Professors and a 3rd rate Uni.
Or, and naturally most likely, capitalism is evil and the State should run and own everything. Then she'd have a job.
Unfortunately, your definition of "successfully adjusting", is indistinguishable from "starving".
Complete fscking BULL SHIT!
If you can't think of an alternative other than "starving" to changing economic conditions, then maybe you *do* deserve to starve.
We artificially manipulate supply and demand all the time. This is why fizzy sugared water - which is NOT particularly rare - sells for dozens of times the cost to make it.
No. You accede to manipulation; I don't. (Yes, that's an accurate statement, since I just mentally went through every room of our house and there's nothing in any of them that's heavily advertised on TV. Oh, wait; my son has some Axe shampoo.)
The "law"of supply and demand is grade-school economics, sufficient until you realize that demand is usually adjusted without altering quality OR supply. How? Think about it during the next commercial break.
What the hell does "demand for widgets" have to do with "supply of workers willing to make them"?
Tell me what economic system successfully "serves the people"?
Don't say Sweden: even it's 60 year social compact is crumbling under the weight of excessive benefits and too much immigration altering the "human" half of the implied social contract.
Except that it was the Chinese and Indian leaders who made the decisions to open their economies, not greedy American industrialists.
and reduce American's living standards to a third world country.
That's like blaming the Sun for melting the snowman.
Only when we are all poor, shall we all be rich.
WTF?
And this is why post modern conservatism is closely related to communism - many conservatives actually want us to emulate China, with their wages, environmental outlook, and corporate ideology.
How could anyone be so stupid as to confuse communism with fascism?
But with a wage rate plummeting like a stone, demand for goods is not far behind. Ya know, demand for goods ain't just "what people want". It's also, and at least as important, "what people can afford".
One word: debt. (Both personal and public.)
And "doing what's necessary to get a higher-paying job" isn't going to cut it either. Because if everyone does it... well, can you guess it?
Except that not everyone does it. From the number of OWS and pro-Union Ohioan whiners, I'd say that it's a definite minority who successfully adjust.
It's called Supply And Demand: when (a) the supply of labor jumped by 2 billion as the result of India and China turning their countries semi-capitalist and open to foreign investment, and (b) the demand for labor drops due to automation, the natural wage rate must and does drop like a stone. Combine this with the extra costs incurred from environmental and workplace safety laws, and it's no wonder that the number of industrial jobs in the US has plummeted.
The smart person accepts this fact and adjusts him/herself accordingly (either by living with a lower wage or doing what it takes to have a higher-paying job).
What he probably means are record overlays (like struct unions in C, but readable): populate a record and then refer to bits and pieces in innumerable ways.
Having programmed both in COBOL and C, it's my experience that COBOL is less buggy since it doesn't encourage Cleverness, but has rich features like 88 Level conditionals and built-in sorting and reporting. Not to mention structured programming that haters think don't exist.
I don't know. Sounds very Machiavellian: the leader can't just always do what he wants; however, if all he does is follow, he won't be leader for long.
What I do know is that most (certainly not all) people, whether they admit it or not, are followers.
I see humanity in a Venn Diagram with 3 sets of people: Leaders, Followers and Free Thinkers. The set of Followers is by far the largest, but they all overlap to some degree or another.
Spoken like a true leftist/liberal/socialist/Green/whatever: all concerned about secondary and tertiary impacts on snail darters and tree frogs, but can't think holistically about business.
The airport doesn't just support businesses in San Jose. People who work for Santa Clara businesses are, amazingly, allowed to fly in/out of the SJ airport.
And... not everyone who works in SJ lives in SJ. Some live in Santa Clara. The people who do so buy houses, cars, groceries, etc, etc, so paying property, income and sales taxes.
I can only imagine that happening in some place hot enough to need an afternoon siesta and poor enough that you can't afford air conditioners and the electricity to run them.

Yeah, 3/5 of a person forevermore, right?
That's not what "Living Constitution" means.
Maybe she shouldn't have racked up so much debt before securing a well-paying job?
Debt.
But I do agree that the current system is unsustainable.
The questions are: what exactly is the "current system", and what to do about it.
Soooo, she's actually *not* unemployed?????
Capitalism has abstracted its way away from actual productivity and into financial masturbation.
Even Forbes agrees with you.

Make wages as low as possible,

My bad...
s/first CPUs/first microprocessor CPUs/
I mean, the microprocessor itself started out as military technology,
Only indirectly, since the first CPUs (from Intel, TI and General Instruments) all powered calculators.
FF8 on 64-bit Linux was using 3.2GB RAM just now before I closed a FF window that had a bunch of dynamic pages.
Real RAM usage shot up to 7.3GB and virtual memory exploded to 22.1GB. The kernel OOM killer finally saved the system.

There's also MOVE CORR and INITIALIZE.

I would not say that most leaders have that much more of a foresight.
Politicians don't. Leaders do. Otherwise, they don't know where they want to lead the followers to.
Except when the toxic waste facility exists before the neighborhood.

Ah, Tech Writing. Thanks.
Old-line tech companies (well, that-which-was-DEC did, at least) have been creating tech documentation using computers for 30 years, though.
And all that time, the citizens of Santa Clara were benefiting from the economic growth which the airport aided.
That's why I originally wrote "Unless the non-caregiver works at night...".
1) More pictures?
2) paragraph separation????
3) a less formal standard of writing?
Are you sure this isn't a workshop on writing children's stories?
a) What the heck is Electronic Writing that it needs a course separate from "regular" writing?
b) 500GB of words is 55 metric arse-loads. What are you not telling us?
Anyway, why aren't you backing the data up to a local USB drive?
