Makes you wonder what the stats would look like if we had data from all of the states. Looking at the ones not contributing you can make assumptions why.
This is just a repeat of what happened with the mortgage crisis. A whole lot of people made what they thought were smart financial decisions but were in fact incredibly bad. A $1500 down payment on a 3 year old Subaru with monthlies North of $500? That's a horrible financial decision.
The moment that ad dropped I saw multiple liberal TikTok accounts crying about American Eagle and Eugenics. Some of them professors and all of them saying some version of "if you don't see this then you don't have media literacy". It's the same purity test bs we've seen before.
Social media works best when people freak out over something. That's an easier lift for conservatives because they always harken back to this mythical past and aren't reliant on facts. Liberals freak out of American Eagle ads that make them look like pearl clutching fools.
if the Trump administration replaced her they'd have to find someone who is willing to tow the administration line in spite of the likelihood that they're full of shit. Even if they found someone like that the end result would be the same. there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
@npr.org I'm a little disappointed with some of the editorial decisions made in the recent episode of Throughline regarding the male Dr vs female midwives. While it's reasonable to assume sexism is at play here the episode glossed over the vast improvement in the childbirth mortality rate.
"maybe you're right and you can do this job with only minor training. However, I have three other candidates waiting to be interviewed who have degrees in exactly what this job asks for. So I don't have to ask that question with them." This was 20 years ago. I imagine it's even worse today.
..to do with their degree. The head of my father's accounting dep had a PHd in philosophy. I found out the hard way that the business world treats a degree as a qualifications certificate even if an entry level job could be done by someone with a GED. To paraphrase one job interviewer I had.
@emilypeck.bsky.social@felixsalmon.com speaking as someone with a degree in a blue collar job I have something to contribute to the chat about needing a degree. I was always told that as long as I had a degree I was fine. Also, everyone knew someone who had a job in something that had nothing...
