In 2009-2010, even people laid off at the company I worked for at the time for being shit at their job were getting new jobs in just a couple of weeks.
They were lucky. I was not. Recruiters looked at my resume, saw IT Support for the last three positions, and told me that they had no IT support jobs. Never mind that wasn't the job I applied for. When the economy turned around in 2011, I got a full-time job. I'm still working today!
That does not bode well for your competency level, nor why anyone should listen to your IT opinions.
My unemployment had nothing to do with competency. I got let go from my help desk job on Friday the 13th, February 2009, because the client wanted TWICE THE PERFORMANCE for HALF THE COST. The top three workers (including myself) got laid off in the first round. A year later, half the department go laid off. Two years later the client hired a new contracting agency for TWICE THE PERFORMANCE for HALF THE COST. Everyone whom I worked with seven years ago found jobs elsewhere because of the downward spiral at the client.
I was out of work for two years (2009-10), told I was unemployable by recruiters, and got a full-time IT support job in 2011. As far as job skills were concerned, nothing changed during those two years.
But, to imply that they'll be obsolete is disingenuous.
Tell that to the recruiters and hiring managers. I was out of work for two years (2009-10), where hiring managers told me I was overqualified for minimum wage jobs and recruiters told me I was unemployable for everything else. When the number applicants per job opening dropped from seven in 2009 to three in 2011 (full employment is two), I got hired for a full time job the day after my Chapter Seven bankruptcy got finalized.
I have an uncle in his 60s who only does seasonal work. He drives his tractor in the fields for 12 to 16 hours per day for nine months. For three months he doesn't work at all. His net worth is $1M+.
It's called seasonal work. Most retail operations make two-thirds of their revenues during the holiday season. If they don't have enough workers on hand to meet the demand, revenues will decline. This has nothing to do with whomever is in the White House.
I had two who worked out well, and even one of those ended up moving to be closer to Mums and Pops.
Once upon an time in America... three generations of a single family would often live under the same roof. With baby boomers retiring and everyone else struggling to make ends meet, multi-generational homes might become the norm again.
People driving weaving back and forth in a lane are exercising their rights.
You don't have a constitutional right to create dangerous driving conditions. There's a difference between driving with the flow of traffic at 75MPH and weaving in-and-out of traffic at 75MPH. The latter behavior will get you pulled over and ticketed.
I get that you are going to vote for Hillary, and it is in your best emotional interest to downplay the fact that everyone around her always seems to be up to some shady shit.
I'm not sure where you get the idea that I'm "emotional" and "downplay" about Hillary's shit. If you look at the electoral college, Trump's chance of winning the election is slim to none. He must win Florida (can flip either way), Ohio (no Republican has ever won the presidency without this state), and Pennsylvania (last went Republican in 1988). If one of these states go to Hillary (Pennsylvania is likely), Trump becomes the world's biggest loser. With Trump being an equal opportunity offender, he needs a miracle to win (assuming that he haven't offended God already).
I don't trust Trump for shit. He works for Wall Street, the banks, foreign nationals and multinational corporations (all of whom she has cozy relationships with). Disaster.

A help desk worker? So you were the spooge mopper of IT jobs?
Virtual ditch digger. This is new terminology. Get with the program.
Then you're simply incompetent.
Bullshit!

Because he files chapter seven.
The Chapter Seven bankruptcy had minimal impact on my employment prospects.

Someone driving a tractor in a field like that is not in the same league as an Amazon employee.
OP complained about someone in their 30's (Millennial, of course) doing only seasonal work. I gave a counter example.
14 hours per day (plus or minus 2) for nine months is way more than full time employment.
Still seasonal work. No one is going to hire a tractor to till frozen ground during the winter.
You're right, all presidents celebrate this lie.
Job reports are seasonally adjusted. The only lie being told is the lie you tell yourself.

CA is now so fucked that it's impossible to overturn a decision of a Democrat by electing a Republican.
You're overlooking the fact that the CA Republican Party has more in common with the endangered spotted owl than 1/10th of the US population.
Why the fuck would you want to use a Martian moon?
Ask the eggheads at NASA.
You have a degree in what?
I have A.A. degree in General Education (1994) and A.S. degree in computer programming (2007). Your point?
The moons of Mars are so small that you could jump into orbit because of lack of gravity. So no.
Looks like the current plan is to orbit a space station around Mars and take side trips to the moons.

That's the Great Generation that rebuilt the world after WWII. Baby boomers came later with their loud music, pot smoking and premarital sex.

Don't the police have better things to do than monitoring citizens who are exercising their constitutional rights?
No we most certainly do not have that technology today.
Why do people blow a head gasket when considering missions to Venus? Manned flybys have been on drawing boards for decades.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manned_Venus_Flyby
Your link talks about a PRELIMINARY feasibility study at NASA that provides essentially zero specifics.
Baby steps. The first manned landing on the Moon didn't take place until Apollo 11. Before then it was the Mercury and Gemini programs.
Seriously - what is your credible plan to make such a fantastical thing happen within the next 1000 years?
We got the technology to launch a blimp on Venus. Large scale construction wouldn't be that far behind.
https://thespacereporter.com/2014/12/a-floating-city-above-venus-nasa-has-begun-work-on-the-extraordinary-concept/
Before sending people to Mars we should send a practice mission to the moon for 2 years.
From what I read elsewhere, one of the Martian moons would become a way station for the initial flyby and landing missions.
Colonizing Venus with floating cities is a far more sexier venture.

FTFY
I hope you will also be too lazy/unconcerned to actually vote.
I've voted in every election since I turned 18-years-old in 1987. I'll have my ballot in the mail next week. ;)
