Plumbers, Truck drivers, Electricians, etc command 6 figure incomes and are mostly debt-free for choosing to take a different route to success and stability.
Also, men just aren't approaching anymore becasue it's too socially and financially risky to do so. School, Work, Church and now the Gym are off limits. So what are the options available for women to meet the smart, ambitious, moral, fit and attractive men?
There hasn't been enough women pushing back against the toxicity from their vocal minority. So some "good" men have decided to quiet quit.
No worries. Roughly $60,000 all around. BLS says one thing. Online another. I haven’t really asked too many IRL - guess it’s good I don’t need too many
> ... Throughout the film, Miss Kabak, a social worker, visits Claudine at her home and asks her if she is employed and if she is dating anyone. Claudine always claims to be unemployed and single, to make sure to get the maximum amount of benefits, which she desperately needs. If Claudine has a job or dates anyone and receives gifts from her boyfriend, the social worker has to deduct any money or gifts from her benefits, forcing Claudine to lie.
This movie was released in 1974. Though fiction, it's one of the examples used when people say that when government gets involved ($$$), it moves slow and breaks things for a long time.
I think people will always try to game/pervert a system, and unfortunately we all will have to suffer the consequences. For now.
That's not the problem though is it? I'd call it a distraction.
I know someone playing this sort of game. She's collecting benefits even though she's living with her children's father; indeed he's supporting her and the children.
Whatever I may think of this the children are in a stable 2 parent family. Other then having a mother whose ethics are (again in my view) open to question I don't think the children are any worse off then comparable children who's parents are married and not receiving any sort of assistance.
As odd as it sounds the real trouble is for children who are genuinely - being raised by a single mother - in the situation.
> I for one would like more government interference.
You do realize that every law is backed by violence, right? How many steps does it take to go from you choosing to no longer pay your property taxes to officers forcibly removing you from your home.
We know what can happen if you resist.
Our interactions on internet have done a great job in getting us to think that every thing needs to scale to the world. If you really care about the issue, solve the social problem locally and share the results and how you got there. If someone doesn't like it, they can always fork it, rinse and repeat.
Everything we allow the government to put its hands in inevitably becomes a disaster. See Social Security, Section 8 Housing, Education (Execution and Funding), Marriage, Divorce, Agriculture, Child Protection Services, etc. I can go on and on, but I think you get the point.
People and societies uplift themselves when they're forced to take responsibility.
Yes, including the laws of property. How many steps does it take from me choosing to sleep on land the government recognizes you as owning to officers forcibly removing me from it?
It always amuses me how people seem to think that violence is involved in changing how goods are distributed, but not in enforcing the current distribution.
I can choose to not call the police, figure out what you really need, and solve the problem quickly. All while keeping the issue local and between us. That level of kindness cannot scale with a top-down approach.
My point was about government incompetence. We all know they move slow and break things for generations to come. Would you rather our issue remain small and in our community, or face a felony trespassing charge that can potentially negative affect the rest of your life and the people you may be responsible for?
I experienced this first hand with the manual sync button on one of my apps. I got feedback stating it didn't work when, in reality, there was no work to be done and the interface didn't have time to display 'syncing' before it finished.
The solution was to add a 50-300ms delay before the network request. Why? Because feelings and perception matter more than facts.
Perceived loading time was a matter of debate during the NextJS vs RemixJS thing. RemixJS argued for fast loading time, while NextJS argued for perceived loading time.
Remix would show a white screen and two seconds later have everything ready. Next would show the header and a loader first then gradually over the course of 3-5 seconds have everything ready.
While Astro technically competes directly with Zola or Hugo, a comparison with them would not make sense. The chart is not about build times or anything like that, it's about the average performance on real world sites built with the framework. Astro with first-class support for interactivity through JS frameworks, and triest to compete with other JS frameworks in speed.
While Hugo and Zola can generate light and heavy websites easily depending on the developer's choices, Astro aims to express that it's easier to create fast websites, even ones that are interactive, with Astro than with a fuller framework like NextJS.
Yeah. I thought about that right after I commented, but their website says "content-focused" not interactivity. Every frontend developer who uses a framework (myself included) will eventually learn the hard lesson of "use the effing platform". Any barrier to serving and delivering HTML, CSS, and JS (for interactivity only where you need it) is a waste of time and energy. Maybe not at the start, but most certainly in the long term through package depreciation, repo weaponizations, or political activism.
The core web standards are designed for future and possibly non-human archaeologists to be able to view just about every web document created since 1991.
So if the job is to deliver content focused websites, then the best tools are those that are designed to get out of your way. Astro and the every other tool that is not a single executable is completely outclassed due to their reliance on package management ecosystems. People want fast consumption and production? Send fewer bytes over the wire, use less bytes to produce them, and let the platform do its job.
But this is just like my opinion, man. None of this matters if the power goes out. Fun game, though.
