Serious question: Why can’t the proprietor just ask the racist ass-clown to not return. “Sir, I’m sorry that our values and yours don’t match. I’m sure that another vendor would be more to your liking. Please have a nice day...” I get it—you depend on customers for your livelihood. But these people will never learn

It starts with “P” and rhymes with “Apa John’s”? So, you worked at Parappa John’s, too? Man, I loved the food there, but that little rapping dog wasn’t a very good boss.

Man nothing ruins an old racists day like being nice to someone. I work in a bakery in an area with a large middle eastern/indian population. Because of this, we have little displays for non-cracker ass holiday events like little eid al-fitr cakes and a nice spread for diwali. EVERYTIME while we get a slew of happy

Capitalists don't make things any more. They just create financial schemes to bilk people out of money.

I would have to question that research. I am a public servant and we are getting old and tired. We can’t find young people willing to step up and do the job. It’s going to be scary for all of them when they dial 911 and the only responder is a 95 year old with his walker.

Your confusing the people with the money and the people with the ideas - they rarely go together. It’s great to encourage investment through incentives, but if you really want more innovation, you’ll back education, transportation, and health care to maximize the ideas and output of our national human resources.

Generating infrastructure while in public service is generating wealth for the country. The worst is Wall Street, which is private sector, where middlemen skim percentages off of transactions and get paid ridiculous sums to do this. They generating nothing. It’s a huge waste of brains and effort.

...and to overvalue the contribution of ‘entrepreneurs’ in comparison to the labor that enables their enterprise, the consumers that support both, and the government that regulates them all is to display a stunningly incomplete understanding of what makes capitalism work. If you have any doubt of that, look at the

“We need innovators and wealth creators far more than we need public sector workers.”

Yeah, right. We tried wealth creators, they quote-unquote “created wealth” then they created lobbyists so they wouldn’t actually have to participate in the ‘trickle down’ part of that tired-ass economic strawman. One million poors

So... if you absolutely need to be an industrial designer and there's no industrial design jobs out there - then you need to start your own thing man. That's what a Gen-Xer would do. That's exactly what this article is talking about. Quit whining that no one will hire you right out of college in the career that you

I'm sorry, but the majority of people, even in 'modern' capitalist country, can't afford healthy food and are forced to eat shit, that's how it works. I don't call that freedom. 5 billion people live with a dollar per day while 1 billion have 100, and some have 1000. I don't call that a success of capitalism either.

…and we all paid our fucking student loan bills, quietly without bitching (too much) about it.

Hey, at least you have Justin Beiber Norwood. ;P GEN X RULES! :D

Don't let your facts get in the way of his ignorance.

The soldiers who went to war in the Middle East from 1992-2008 absolutely were Gen Xers. Only in the last two years or so have any Millennials been old enough. (Going with the 1990+ birth range; definitions vary, but that's the one I've always used.)

No on the first part:

Dang, sorry to hear that. So as an industrial designer, you (not you specifically but you as an individual) are either:
