  Oh look. An Amazon driver!

  I spelled incorrectly. It’s watiko, but it could very well be related to the word you found.

  Try this link: watiko

  I mean, you could turn it on it’s side if the pump was still at lowest point and you moved/turned the lines and radiator to the proper positions. Not sure how feasible that is. If the cooling loops, fluid reservoirs, and radiators were reconfigurable for that purpose, it would tap into a new market for the manufacturer that pulled it off.

  The Native Americans recognized a greed sickness in white men. They called it watika, IIRC.

  I’m definitely below average. But I’m not sure education (or college at least) is the best direction to go at this time. It costs too much, and then people still don’t make much sometimes. Then there is job security. A mechanic will have a job for the foreseeable future. Coders and office workers are so far beyond fucked that I would not recommend someone pursue a career in an office right now.

  I’m liberal and really enjoyed reading this comment. It might be one of the best ones I’ve seen on here. The part about microaggressions was spot on. This makes me wonder why I’ve never heard this perspective before? I wonder if people say this in mostly conservative forums, and I just don’t see it from my personal fish bowl? I’ve never heard it put quite like this. It’s almost as if it would have been useful for this position to be expressed earlier to educate people before all the frustration occurred.

  What research? There are lots of folks with crippling debts. I know tons of people who will never be rid of their’s. As an engineer, I have never known job security. Who wamts to worry about losing their job every day? But I notice plenty of guys making a lot more than me since trades have a serious shortage of workers. Electricians around here charge whatever they want because there is not enough of them. Hospitals around here are bought up by one entity, so nurses can’t quit and make more money elsewhere. Teachers are quitting in droves such that it’s become a national crisis. But then there are plumbers making 6 figures.

  If they wanted to address the education gap, wouldn’t they? Why would they want to when trades provide more money, no lost income for 4-5 years, or a crippling debt? Women are at a disadvantage there. I mean, I definitely don’t want to minimize overlooked hardships, but…
