Is liberalism driven by low self esteem or sheer stupidity and autism?

Giving out student loans to anybody who sticks out their hands not only has jacked up tuition costs to absurd levels but it has created an excess supply in majors for which there's very little market demand.

That's why there's so many people who can't get jobs in their major. Meanwhile, they are saddled with student loan debt and can't move out of the basement, buy their own house and start a family. It's yet another failed government intervention.

that is a well thought out post. but accccctually, if you look at the what top US tech companies(apple, amazon, google microsoft), all of them pretty much follow a near socialist protocol with regards to their treatment of employees.

Yet women are quitting Google.

"You’re the only girl in the room all the time … Google has resources and I think they make efforts in some ways,” Parthasarathy said."

Over the last 4-6 years, I am, more often than not, the ONLY guy in meetings at my job. I don't feel that any of my co-workers are out to get me because I'm a guy.

Why do you think it's a failed one?

Welp, there you have it. An apples to apples comparison that's completely relevant to what was discussed in the article .  

And Parker, that article doesn't say "women are quitting google" as in some sort of mass exodus, just that they spoke to women who have quit and they discussed their reasons.

I was posting it because Google is supposed to be this bastion of progression. Yet they had that former Google employee with his memo, and now you have some women who are leaving Google, and give their reasons why. It's the lie that is presented as truth, especially when you have people on here making threads about Google trying to push a certain agenda. What's that thing about cleaning up one's own backyard?

They believe that a strong, empowered, centralized government will take care of all of society's problems and create a utopia. Instead, it creates a tyranny and poverty.

...and death, by the millions.

Thanks to the liberal idiots running the education system and the media, this is a lesson we have to keep learning the hard way.  Over, and over, and over, and over.

I make side money by sculpting on the weekends.

If you pay more in taxes than you have cost society for educating you, then everything's fine.

Most carpenters, steel workers, mechanics, and some other tradesmen are not idiots. And as of now I see the average tradesman doing far better than the average cubicle drone.

Perfect analogy....cubicle drones are idiots that think they are intellectual and should be working in an office in a suit closing deals...Capitalism eats these idiots for lunch and has them slaving away for that elusive promotion that never comes.

Idiots just know...hey...I'm not going to change the world with my mind so let me learn a trade and be successful.

Guess your problem is with the word idiot...I love idiots...think idiots are better people than intellectuals...

America is a Nation of Idiots....think of american Cinema, Art, Cuisine

Travel around the World and see how many people will pay good money for authentic "American" cuisine...the whole world knows its shit greasy food with big enough portions to make up for the quality.

Acknowlegding you are an idiot and need to work harder than others at menial tasks is the American Way...always has been....

Until now...where we all have bought into the college scam

Same shit with bodybuilding...we are ALL gym rats...shot idiot gym rats with shit genetics...even with Gh and tren and all of it.....you are a gym rat and can't compete with the physiques of black bodybuilders..be a Rich piana that knew his physique was shit but made a ton of money appealing to idiots......

America is a nation of HARD WORKING IDIOTS.....that's how we were made...accept it...nothing wrong with that.....be a mechanic that hooks a valve pump up for $500 plus labor...something a 5 year old could do.....

Embrace your American Idiocy and let's be great again!!!!!

How is it beneath or above anyone? Building something is beneath you? Perhaps it's not something you'd want to do but I don't how it's an inferior line of work.

He prefers to be a parasite who skims off the money earned by others who are contributing to society.

He's never contributed anything valuable towards society so has a chip on his shoulder and needs to keep telling himself why he's better than people 'below him'.

I also have a good degree and live a good standard, but I will never look down on anyone. Only a worthless scumbag would look down on people who are creating things and doing honest work.

All work is honorable...Can't stand the parasites.....

He prefers to be a parasite who skims off the money earned by others who are contributing to society.

It's actually quite nervy to belittle the people that produce the items we use or even in which we live!

We work and reside in buildings and use cars, plumbing, refrigeration, air conditioning, cars, railroads and subways, and tools, and drive on roads and bridges and we have pompous smart-alecks who scoff at those who build, provide, and maintain such things!

I also have a good degree and live a good standard, but I will never look down on anyone. Only a worthless scumbag piece of shit would look down on people who are creating things and doing honest work.

I have an advanced degree, and although I am not rich, I live a good middle-class, modest lifestyle, while recognizing that and knowing there are some tradesmen living a BETTER lifestyle than me, as well as having more future security and benefits than I have. I do have great health insurance though.

I think when my child reaches his teenage years--at a time when liberalism will have destroyed society farther than it has if not stopped--I will be steering him away from the pathetic liberal dungeons and adult sleep-away camps we call universities these days and have him enter a trade in which mostly real men work.

Just as an aside, although my view might be tainted considering I live in a liberal, multicultural area, while going into various places of business, I often ask myself, "Do men even work anymore?" Practically everywhere I go, I see the majority of staff being women.

Trump recently had a big tech summit at the White House. Many of the heavy hitters attended including Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook. At the end, Trump asked them to say a few words on what they thought about the state of government computing. To a man they said it was largely inadequate. However, Tim Cook added that he believes strongly that coding should be included in school curriculums.

Now, I'm pretty sure Tim Cook has a brain bigger than mine but did it never occur to him to ask why this isn't the case already? It's 2017. Does the US government not believe that knowing about computers is kinda important?

Why is this any different than any other class that is taught in school? The problem is that when it comes to the government  everything gets bogged down in politics and you can't make timely changes.

At this point, it doesn't really matter. Most of the educational infrastructure has been rendered obsolete because of the Internet and online learning. Most subjects can be learned much more efficiently without sitting in some government classroom surrounded by 30 other people.

There was a Google vice president who taught a class in artificial intelligence both classroom and online. He said the online students smoked the classroom.

Coding/programming is a specialized skill that- statistically- the average school teacher is not likely to possess. Knowledge of one language does not necessarily transfer to another language. Languages change with new iterations, some have a higher value in the job market. There has been a major push in the last few years where school districts have worked in conjunction with the tech industry to bring coding lessons into the classroom. There is a cost of equipment and learning materials related to teaching coding that is different from math or biology. There is a dependence on new technology, that english and social studies didn't require 5 years ago. What would you be doing differently  that school districts don't have figured out?

Yes, imo many of these guys are on another level.  Just happens to be, for whatever reason (Because cars are so cool?) they ended up in that field.

Why does it have to be the average teacher teaching these classes? Why can't you hire specialized computer instructors? The cost excuse is always a good one to rationalize failure. I do agree with you that it's a rapidly changing field but you could still teach the kids the basics. Computer programming is not an area of expertise for me but from what I understand, programs have basic structures that transfer over to all languages.

But as I said, the future is in online learning anyway. It's way more efficient and versatile than the classroom model in most cases. I don't expect to see it to implemented soon as it would put too many government employees out of work.  The Internet actually exposed why teacher don't make a lot of money. They're redundant. One online course can replace thousands of teachers.

I remember Obama always telling people to become teachers, steering people to an industry that's clearly about to be downsized. Of course he was just a mouthpiece for the teachers union.
