Conservatives: I hate Muslim people. Look at what that Muslim person did at that Orlando LGBT bar.
LGBT people: So, does that mean you care about LGBT people?
Conservatives: No! Gay people are pedophiles, and transgender women are just men who want to invade women’s restrooms and harass women! WE NEED TO PROTECT WOMEN!
Women: So, does that mean you care about women?
Conservatives: Shut up, feminazi! Women in the United States are not oppressed! If you want to talk about women’s oppression, you should be focusing on how women in other countries are treated!
Refugees: So, does that mean you care about people from other countries?
Conservatives: Stay out of our country! Why should we care about refugees when we have people here who need help?
Homeless People: So, does that mean you care about people who need help?
Conservatives: No! Get a job, freeloader!
this is accurate
That’s what conservatives sound like. To a fucking letter.
it’s so true it hurts
Lol have any of you guys ever even talked to a conservative? Because I can garuntee you very few conservatives, if any, would reply in this way.
they might not reply that way specifically but the point is they make all those arguments while clearly not really supporting the thing they’re arguing for
I have talked to plenty of people who are THAT fucking nasty
They keep saying that all these things will cause problems for groups they clearly don’t give a flying fuck about.
Just hang around on the fox news forums, you’ll see.
They’re hiring people at Pre-apprentice level here for jobs like steelworker, welder, machinist, carpenter, and various other jobs in the “vocational” fields.
All these blue collar jobs prove have sneered at are in demand and pay well because there’s so little new blood and the old hands are aging out and enjoying a comfortable retirement.
if I don’t succeed in law, I know what I’m doing.
I’m a fast learner and have good hands.
My dad’s been fighting with the local public schools for years about the way they degrade vocational fields, and he’s also been working with the local vocational school for a very long time, allowing the welding students to come into the shop during training and sometimes hiring them when they graduate.
Mike Rowe has been advocating for blue collar workers for years. He has a foundation set up to help spread awareness and connect people with training programs, and he’s gone before Congress pleading the importance of these jobs.
This is important work. These are the jobs that keep our society running. And they are in desperate need of more hands.
Degrees suffer inflation and vocations suffer underemployment. Boosting the amount of people going vocational will also help those with degrees because it can fight that inflation.
Instead of “these job fields have too many open spots while these have so many applicants you now need a Master’s for stuff that used to take a Bachelor’s” it could be an actually healthy job market.
