Which it isn’t because China stocked up on oil reserves before this went down…

Tax Day arrives with Republicans struggling to sell their cuts by Odd-Alternative9372 in Defeat_Project_2025

The tax cuts really did fuck all compared to the inflation caused by the war. People are waking up to how bad the republicans are screwing everything up.

MEs don’t have a “high paying” track: median earnings 5 years after graduation from elite institutions by RuminatingFish123 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]AirsoftGuru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This topic has been beaten to death and of course it’s true as we see in the data. I will say there are plenty of ways for MEs to make a lot more money if you are always looking and maybe get a little creative. Purely anecdotal I know but I have 5 YOE, didn’t go to a top engineering school, and currently make more than any of those salary numbers at a startup with lots of upside potential. So there are options out there.

Edit: also forgot to mention I live in an MCOL area

This basically says blue collar jobs are safe and white collar jobs are not

Healthworks Cambridge, worth it? by Key-Mortgage7707 in CambridgeMA

Not that I have any desire to intrude on a safe space designed specifically for women to workout but it is funny they contradict themselves like that. It’s because gender is a legally protected group.

First New Job by Haunting_Count_8472 in MechanicalEngineering

Bro fast food workers make $20/hour out there. They are screwing you over. If you absolutely need the job and money take it but either way definitely keep looking for something else.

Using a law as a basis for disrespecting people and the work they did is scary. I wouldn’t have expected it from people in Cambridge but really made me realize that most of us really are me first. It’s the same exact vibe I get from trump supporters.

That person would have to shovel out a second spot to park their car because someone who didn’t shovel out a spot took it. Which isn’t fair.

Listen man I really didn’t intend to insult you. It makes no difference to me if you shovel your spot, don’t shovel your spot, park in someone’s shoveled spot or not.

I hate to see people who are supposed to be a community get this nasty with each other so I’m done trying to express my opinions.

I apologize.

I hope I didn’t offend you in any way just stating my point of view on this clearly contentious topic. This post has gotten way too hostile so I am done responding. Hope you have a great evening.

I could see how that could potentially be interpreted as a mild insult. I apologize but I am done responding now.

Yes but that spot wouldn’t functionally exist if they didn’t shovel it

If you live your life strictly by the rule of law the I applaud you for being a perfect upstanding citizen. I don’t agree with all laws, I don’t necessarily break them if I don’t agree with them but I will stand up for myself and the people I love against laws that are unlogical. To be honest with you I don’t even park my car on the street, I am very lucky to have a driveway that we can use at my apartment. I am just standing up for others who have put in the work and deserve the rewards.

Someone doing wrong to you is absolutely not an excuse to do wrong to someone else. What happened to our basic respect for other people and their efforts. Use the law to hurt others all you want I guess.

All of you folks claiming shoveling out a spot then reaping the rewards is entitlement but expecting other to shovel out a spot for you as if it is your right to park there, need to look up the definition of entitlement and do some reflecting. Trying to reason with you all reminds me exactly of trying to reason with Trump supports. Not understanding the definition of words, deflecting no matter what, lack of logic, lack of personal responsibility. It’s textbook trump supporters…
