We're incentivized to lie to our employers. If they ask where we see ourselves in X number of years, any answer rhst doesn't involve that company is a red flag to management, and likely a reason to terminate your employment.

We live in an age where company loyalty and hard work translating into promotions & higher pay aren't real things. This is not the 1970s anymore, despite what many of our geriatric politicians say to the contrary.

These days, the only way to get a promotion or a pay raise is to quit and go work for someone else. Employers don't like to admit it, but that's the hard truth. There is zero incentive to work hard for, or be loyal to, any company.

I went on to enlist in the military, got out after one enlistment, and eventually became a machinist and shipwright welder. I'm working on my SCUBA & underwater welding qualifications.

In a high-school out in the boondocks of Texas, I was easily the smartest kid. Everyone else was concerned with their parents farm, chores, football, and dating.

Nobody was interested in reading or higher education, and the teachers put no effort into encouraging students to reach higher.

I now have infinite patience with essential workers. When they get an order wrong, or they have a bad attitude, I let it go

News agencies blatantly lie about a number of things.

People walk away from news agencies.

News agencies cry "We're dying! We're dying! Please save the news!"

While I'm willing to concede that Biden is unpopular now due to recent events, the claim thst he's the least popular president in 75 years is laughably false.

Newsweek seems to conveniently forget about Trump, who's currently has 90+ pending criminal charges.

Shared hobbies are often the best way to get your foot in the door. Book clubs, local events, concerts, charities, and religious locations are a good start.

Doesn't CNN have some of the lowest ratings, even compared to YouTube internet channels? I know TYT is beating them in ratings.
