We subsidize the fuck out of the American farmer. Why not subsidize young people for their future?

Because that would actually require helping Americans, which republicans can't do. In fact, trump just cut millions in subsidies to American farms.

I’m not sure how long that’s going to last, considering some farmers depended on USAID purchases. In his last term they needed extra subsidies because of retaliatory tariffs from China

As the NYT writes, red states like Texas will see an increase in subsidies. Funny how so much happens this stuff slips through the cracks.

My vision is greater incentives for companies to higher entry level employees. As you probably know, companies don’t take chances on new grads like they once did. They demand 5 years of experience. Sustained high youth unemployment is a very bad situation.

My favorite is when there was a job posting that required so many years of experience in Swift (the iOS programming language) that the creator of Swift wouldn’t have gotten the job 💀

I have a theory that HR across the country has become bloated and out of touch with hiring managers. It used to be possible to be under qualified slightly but impress an HM in an interview. Now HR gate keeps you from that interview. Just one piece of the puzzle but a crucial one.

No because wtf do they do anymore now that so much of the screening is automated?
