      Toddlers eventually learn though, and progress. Trumpy people a more like dogs: They can appear clever, but only up to a certain threshold. They may even perform useful tasks and tricks for their handlers. But ultimately they need someone to feed and supervise them otherwise they’ll eat something they shouldn’t and get sick. That same contented trot, and look of purpose you see on a dogs face while their owner walks them is what a republican gets when they’re getting walked by fascists. Both the dog and the republican think they’re part of a pack. Both the dog and the republican will be euthanized by their masters when they become too burdensome or they’ve outlived their usefulness.

    “We have a shortage of engineers!”

    How do you know?

    “Because they won’t work for minimum wage!”

    “No one wants to work” has always had an unspoken “for the paltry wages I am offering” component to it.

        Yes, and perfectly named because:

        Dogecoin is an inflationary cryptocurrency, which means that its supply increases over time. New coins are regularly added to the system through minting and mining. Dogecoin’s inflationary system is unique because it adds a consistent 5 billion new coins each year.

        It’s both inflationary and a rug puller’s delight.

    And they do so for two reasons. The first, and most important, is because foreign labor is cheaper than domestic by far. The second, and arguably the most important for you and I, is because our education system sucks and can’t pump out nearly as many well-educated folks in those particular fields at nearly the rate of countries with free, subsidized, or even just cheap education.

    So the problem is twofold. The first, rent is too expensive and Americans know it. The second, school is too expensive and Americans know it. Americans also know that we can’t actually fix those problems without something changing with how our political and economic systems operate, and that takes a revolution that nobody wants because they don’t want to fight and die for their right to be exploited by an employer in place of an immigrant.
