My biggest example is I completed the cannabis retail certification program on 2023, it was 860$ I got a coupon at the time and paid 680$ total.
Thst same program is now has a going rate of 1900$. In 3 years it’s more than doubled.
So if you want to do a certification program, have the credit and motivation as well as the ability to either pay outright or put a payment plan on a certification program, you should do it now before they wkroe expensive in 3 years.

No intellectually honest thought starts with this.
I mean at the end of the day, isn’t it an economic issue and not a government worker issue? That if the common man could afford goods and medical services at the same time… Realistically, it would be through deflating the economy while keeping the pay rate the same to make it so those who are making the median or just a little above can afford groceries and medical bills at the same time and the federal interest rates being lowered to about 1.5% would make it so that mortgages are affordable.
If we’re going to be saying people should be able to afford the bare minimum, than we need to level the economy for the common man and with that we need to adjust the inflation and federal interest rates. Other wise, we’re just bitching about how much someone in a position of power makes.

have you looked up the inflation rate? if it deflated back to 2010 inflation rates, we’d be living so comfortably it would be insane. it’s 3.50% inflation vs 1.50% in 2010. 2010 prices were perfection. Image

If you were a house builder, but you could only live in the typical houses that you’ve built… would that inspire you to do a good job?
I looked into manual labor jobs and it does suck that unless you’re like a foreman or someone who’d been doing it for at least a decade straight, you’re not making as much as you’d think
That’s why I chose the medical field. Which is super fucked up because the people who risk life and limb to build society should be making as much as those who put together limbs and save lives.
If they did get paid more they might be more motivated to do a better job i they’re not already. I think that if you’re not as good as what your job is worth than you should be fired, not pushed upwards. I also think that if a construction worker was paid more they’d start comparing themselves to other professions in the bracket.
Lol, how nice are houses the builders build? Seems to me the builder should’ve built a less shitty home. Especially if they’re a builder. Maybe there’s a reason that one builder isn’t getting paid much because that one builder fucking sucks at being a builder.

Well I took 50% with a grain of salt. I took 50% and thought to myself 50% of the working class, right? Anyways I did think to myself that’s not good, well it’s just an example. I mean if that many people were struggling I wouldn’t be okay with it.
Either way, doesn’t help to try to boost morale right?

It’s the kind of mistake that would not be made by a Congress that makes median income.
So they making a shit load of money and ain’t doing shit but if they make less that’ll suddenly inspire them to do a better job… Where is the common sense there?
Also, I don’t like volatility in the job market, if they’re making that much they must’ve worked hard enough to get there… unless it’s just purely nepotism then they can go fuck themselves. Maybe looking into ending government corruption little by little could end up with people who are worth their position, rather than people who suck at what they do and get paid a fuck load.
I will amend what I said to say, I mean for the common man, if you’re struggling and have the ability to be able to get into a position in life where you can make more than the median, than you should attempt it.
The solution is obviously deflate the economy a little bit while lowering federal interest rates so people whoa ew making the median or a little more than the median can buy homes.

Success is not guaranteed just because you work hard. you still deserve a life that doesn’t involve making a choice between paying a medical bill or paying rent.
No I agree but that seems like there needs to be a restructuring of the medical system and the insurance system.
Section 8 needs to be reevaluated so those that don’t really need it and are taking advantage can get the fuck off of it and those that need it can get the fuck on it. Section 8 is Severely Lowered Rent making it so that you can pay your bills.
Success being a non guarantee means thst neither does having stability. That’s just the cruel reality of living anywhere on this planet, not just in capitalism or the US.

It’ll ruin the superduper rich but the conman man would love a societal restructuring.

Ever thinl that the 50% that can do it should while they can before etbat kind of hyper inflation happens and like maybe boost the morale with advice on how not to trap yourself in a predatory ass loan or give a list of things you did to achieve your goals that got you into a position where you feel financially comfortable.
I mean shit I’m on food stamps but I found a goal that’s gonna make me bank and is less than 2 years plus I can pay it off in 2 years on a payment plan. I’m gonna be making six figures in less than 5 years. I am more than happy. I’m stepping up my fucking game.

Ughhhh? Again I hate to hate on people who did good in life. You step up your game and find a profession that can earn you above that wage as well as pay off the student loan which if you don’t choose the minimal w/the longest time to pay it off, with a ridiculous apr, you won’t be trapped in a financial hole.

It’s evaluating the heating properties of propane and showing the results of an ai model they put to work to evaluate the efficacy of propane in heat pumps. The outcome was that oil tends clogs in propane heated oil based heat pumps that lack an oil separation unit and that work needs to be done to prevent that from happening in systems where refrigerants and oil are mixed/used in the same system.
The main reason i posted it was because it’s hard to find anything defending propane as efficient and a next generation refrigerant. I also wanted to just point out the GWP of propane which is like 3. Though I just googles that and it says the updated data based on European data, it’s 0.02 over 100 years which is next to nothing compared to natural gas and wood burning.

algorithms that have devolved into echo chambers and amazon recommendations. yeah and anyone who creates is a third space is usually labelled an evil person or a conspiracy theorist and put on an FBI watch list. now they have, “an aging problem,” at concerts, clubs and events because no one can afford them except for those in their late 40’s early 60’s, 2012 was the last affordable year for any of those things(, that’s conservative it’s more like 2014.) you’re never preaching to the choir because there’s a bunch of hive minds and if you’re not adhering to them, you’re the odd man out so having an opinion doesn’t even fucking matter anymore.
just like this, this doesn’t matter, right now what i am typing doesn’t mean jack shit but at least you can put it out there. you can put your opinion and your voice out there. I guess that matters more than anything

They’re getting a kickback, you’re getting more work and same pay and what are the AI Companies getting? More stable ways of removing you from the company.

Okay so I figured it out a while back and an old manic-depressive friend always used to tell me there’s no point to that show, it’s a nonsense show; He’s so wrong and always has been, I always tried to tell him if you paid attention to the story line and not the trippy shit, you’ll realize season 1 is about Xavier trying to live the life that he has created for himself through his own previous misfortunes and follows the search for the father’s killer. Season 2, is about Xavier figuring out who he once was and is tying to connect to his past and is on the search for an ultimate connection to his past until he realizes he’s been insane the whole time.

Yeah but being proactive is illegal unless you’re part of some organization and making profit somewhere along the way.
By that I mean it’s fucked up in the US, how I cant by a few boxes of frozen burgers, cook them make a bunch of burgers and start handing food out; unless I was part of some organization that somewhere along the way is making money or hype to make sure their other businesses get business.
