That’s true, but children are like little predators waiting for anything to make your life miserable. The first time a teacher stumbles on your name, that’s your entire identity for YEARS. How happy are you going to be with your name after that?

I have never heard the name before.

There’s your sign. The other is whether 95% of people can confidently pronounce it correctly up on reading it.

How wasteful, since the US hasn’t been at war since 1947…

Should be the department of military policing actions.

There’s a lot of complicated forces at play, and this isn’t in my particular field of expertise, but inflation is basically when the supply of money increases, but the actual supply of things money can buy doesnt keep up.

Think of an (extremely oversimplified) economy: one person farms, and another person raises cattle. They’ve agreed to use red rocks to symbolize trades, due to the fact that the rancher can work all year, but the farmer only provides produce with the harvest seasons.

One year, each person finds an extra cache of red rocks, but the extra currency doesn’t actually allow either individual to farm or ranch any more. Each one knows that the rocks are more plentiful, and so less valuable. The rancher expects more rocks for his meat, because he knows he’ll need more rocks to buy produce.

The two main ways that currency is created (again, within my limited knowledge) is through minting and fractional reserve banking. There’s plenty of explanations for either, so I’ll gloss over. On the other hand, inflation can occur if production decreases, or even fails to increase as fast as expected.

What? A dick?

There are only two jobs in the world: adding value and extracting value.

Do you have skills in making, doing, or otherwise interacting with things that people don’t want to do themselves? Do you have access to any type of machinery or tools that most people don’t? These are opportunities to add value. Value added jobs include crafting, agriculture, manufacturing, trades, childcare, teaching…

Do you have an insight into an inefficiency in the market? Are you able to exploit a gap between people who add value and the people who consume? Can you connect people to each other, connect people to products, or connect products to people? Value extraction jobs include things like distribution (drop-shipping), advertising (both making advertisement and other products that sell advertising space), management…

Is there anything you can do like this? And more importantly: is there anything you can do like this that you can do better without an employer-employee relationship?

ADHD is a hell of a drug

Mandatory penis inspection, obviously.

I think you mean 10mm?

I think you can figure this one out…

Jeeeeeeffffrrreeeeyy… That kiiiiiills people!

Neither protecting or serving are actual job requirements.

Slipped on pee-pee at the megalomart.

Especially for something this simple.

Lift top bun “oh, this could kill me”

Shitting bricks.

There are two kinds of people, lol.

Not booze :(

Idiocracy has transitioned from pessimistic take to optimistic. At least in Idiocracy everybody listened to the smart one and enacted changes that helped.
