While I don’t disagree, they do have their uses. My friend had an accident and it took out his head lights. We managed to use some walmar bar lights to get him back on the road for less than $30.

I’ve been trying to fill jobs in the hospital/research setting for people starting out as a lab technician or as a trainee. For these positions, the main qualification is having a degree in biology, chemistry or related fields. I am mainly looking in the southeast US, but most of the time we end up filling positions…

Now I see why you weren’t working on it. You were letting it age. Waiting for it to hit peak rust. 

It probably comes down to location. There are just not enough people qualified in the area. So we have to recruit from other states, which is hard.

Sorry for the confusion. I have pretty much worked for different universities for the past 15 years. I was referring to different types of jobs. One university I worked for offered people in the community a job and training, probably not great jobs, in an area where many people did not have work. No one showed up most…

It wouldn’t be a bad proposition, if it was 6 months of training. Even if they had the right education, we count on the first 3-6 months to be training anyway. But when they need 2-4 years of training, we’d be out of business before they got trained.

We offer competitive pay which is 20% or more higher than other places I’ve worked in the same field with full benefits and are consistently ranked one of the best places to work in the state. I will admit that HR ties our hands on pay. They decide they pay based on education, experience and other factors, and we…

It is more like poor education system when we are sending kids to college for an art degree when we have tons of job openings in other fields. It doesn’t matter how much we offer if the only people are applying to a job as a chemist are ones with an art degree, it will probably not work out.

You must not have tried to hire anyone recently. It is hard for us to get anyone to even apply for a full time job with benefits. We put out ads and get a couple of responses from people fresh out of school with no experience and a degree in the wrong area. It seems to be the trend. There are 1.6M open jobs in the…

Unfortunately, this is the type of guy that ends up winning much of the time IRL. There were better choices. Everyone but her could see it. This happens all of the time in real life, and it will keep happening until we stop rewarding bad behavior.

You mean the people the union pays to hold signs and protest, the union workers that shake down non-union workers, the people working directly for the union that helped the boss use the money as he pleases, the people working for the union that participate in racketeering scams (of which many have been found guilty),…

Well in Boston’s case it was hard to make it worse. Tearing it down made it go from oppressively miserable to just plain old miserable for the people that lived close to it. The rest of the city remains miserable.

The Chinese side of my family went through the cultural revolution, which is one of the closest to eat the rich moments in recent history. My grandfather was not rich, but was a taylor and had a business. They destroyed his business and took everything he had. I don’t think people realize how many people get beaten…

You do realize taking every dollar from every billionaire in the world would not pay for those three things for more than two years, right? Doubling our national budget can’t occur just from taxing the rich. Number one I could support, but the other two would not work in the US. Why pay for people to go to college to…

I wonder if it has to do with Michigan’s new anti bullying laws. They may require the school to report stuff to the police.

In some states, being a bully is a criminal offense and the schools are required to report it to police. Michigan has recently adopted a number of anti bullying laws. I wonder if that is what escalated this situation.

I’m sorry, you came to the wrong place if you wanted investigative reporting. The amount of investigation you put into this is greater than what they budget for the whole month. 

Most trucks are equipped with a weight sensor to automatically turn off the airbag if no one over a certain weight is sitting there, because in the rare case of a single cab truck the car seat has to be in the front. It seems to work well.

So, the article attached did not say they gave up their seat.

The boss of a union that owns 20% of GM. The UAW is valued at over $7B. They are a corporation.
