Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4278312, member: 9260"] the majority of 'trades' folks that i know make way past 100k these days. good on them if making bank was their agenda, relative to any 'school choice' issues that might have been on their mind in hs days. i've always expected that the folks who actually do the stuff integral to the rest of us would get recognized some day. when wacky times began a few years back, it turns out that was the starting bell for this overdue rec. at first, they all went full in, taking every job possible, thinking 'make it while u can, cuz who knows how long it will last?' now, most are settling into, (from joe walsh 'life's been good to me") 'just leave a message, mebbe i'll call.' the wheels of justice grind exceedingly slow, yet exceedingly fine. considering how many beagles and blowhards are floating around lately, id say the trades gang, en masse, make more than most of the beagles and the blowhards. justice. metaverse cracks me up, big time. web page designer types, personal trainers, polling quants, and the like don't seem to perform so well when the roof leaks. or the tree falls on the doghouse. and god forbid iffn they get a wasp sting, tick bite, or have to lug the coleman out to the campfire. actions have consequences. cf, 'participation trophies' and 'helicopter parents.' guess what, guess what! the 'no loud noises' generation found themselves standing next to a nuke going off recently, and now they all need ear doctors. life is funny like that sumtimes. and oh, a few years in, the data on 'state of the youtes,' worldwide is pouring in, and looks [I]exactly [/I]like my musings on the bug and it's expected effects on the youtes, spring 2020. [I]exactly.[/I] the early leaders for absolute disaster are the chinese youtes. they call it 'lying flat' over there, as the kids absolutely cannot deal with other humans, and 'live' only online. gonna be tuff to get a plumber there, or a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a life. sad.
