I like how all the media hacks writing puff pieces on this issue have apparently collectively agreed not to mention that there’s a fucking plague still on that has killed almost three quarters of a million people.
One true expert who’s been tracking California for four decades, also finds himself scratching his head
how tf are they an expert if they can’t come up with literally anything after 40 years of study. That’s an anti-expert, I can not imagine doing something for 40 years and having literally learned nothing about it
that’s how 90% of people are under capitalism are though. They don’t care about what they’re doing, they were okay at it in high school or college and are just waiting for a pay-check.
I don’t think it’s fine or good at all. There’s the obvious problem that expertise is dying. Past that, everyone should at least care somewhat about what it is they do for a career. Obviously not everyone can like every job, but the majority of people should find some fulfillment and pride in their work. sewage workers should be respected and be proud their work makes it possible for people to live in cities and be healthy, people that work at restaurants or in retails should be able to feel like facilitators to the public so people can get what they want or need. Janitors or other cleaners should be able to be happy they make our complex living and working spaces possible. And of course they should be able to learn many interesting things through their work, developing into respected experts at their crafts. But instead it’s just a grind so they can afford rent and food, and these vital workers get looked down on.
Worker can’t find work: “learn to code, lol.”
Employer can’t find worker: “How could this happen to me: God’s favorite child? Surely these are the end times.”
We really need an emoji for “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas”
