Ah, then maybe you would enjoy talking to the 50 year old office mom!

Assuming those are still a thing, of course. They were a thing when my office’s age averaged ~ 25, but I seem to remember losing the office mom position when the overall office age got higher… but maybe the position went away more generally…

It’d be married and single women, most likely. (Edit: they prefer to classify us by our relationships with men.)

You mean, you, a presumably young man, don’t come to the office to chat with your 50 year old office mom, or your CEOs and managers, or your coworkers whose interests only overlap yours so far as employment opportunities? How bizarre!

FedEx forged my signature. Very lucky that I got my shit, but the company paid extra for me to sign, FedEx called and verified I’d have to be home, they didn’t show up the right day, and the next day randomly showed up and left the item after “I” signed. It wasn’t even someone else in the house that signed. Just a blatantly forged sig by the delivery man.

Um. This isn’t really an outlier leadership anymore. It’s happened twice, and the vote in favor of it got bigger rather than smaller. Trump campaigned on doing this, and his vote share increased. A large proportion of Americans clearly want America First and America Alone, and maybe they don’t understand the consequences of that, but that’s what they want. I’m not saying the US is going to collapse, way too big of a bet to make, but to say no one will surpass the US in the near term… I dunno. I think you might be getting caught in American exceptionalism.

I think the world is reorienting itself. It’s going to be very painful for us, but we’ll get through it. And America will rattle its sabers and dream of Empire.

Even if the new country is a convenient tax haven, does the new country have educated population, large workforce, good infrastructure, good rule of law?

Does the US? Rule of law is failing. Larger workforces exist elsewhere. The education system is being systematically defunded. The infrastructure has been falling apart for years and I’m pretty sure the money for rebuilding was stopped in Feb.

Only people working on them need to know the ins and outs of how a nuclear power plant works, though I feel like people should probably have still some education and be able to describe it in a very generalized way. But if you can’t rotate a document, you’re having trouble with the light switch.

Like, that’s fine if you grew up without electricity in your house, but is that really the case with Zoomers?

Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.
