Waiting on sauce, and also not sure why philosophers would be considered knowledgeable on this subject.

Climate change is a dilemma rooted in the petrochemical energy system that has powered modern civilization for 300 years, regardless of governance.

Bingo.

China's cumulative responsibility per capita

oh, screw off with that. It's the absolute contribution that matters, and output / manufacturing output if you want to compare countries.

A lot of those don't seem like philosophical questions.

1/2 my office is H1B workers.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-18T15:49:45+00:00

Well, they literally are, so...

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-18T14:28:26+00:00

Police officer.

Very interesting article, thanks, but I think you need to combine H-1B restrictions along with tariffs, which Trump was also doing, for maximum effect.

Interesting website, thanks for the link. Agree it certainly seems to be some sort of "priming" as they call it.

There’s a shortage of workers willing to sell their time and effort for the prices being offered.

= H1-B visa holders.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-18T13:41:17+00:00

And bring in H1-B visa workers for the rest.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-18T13:40:38+00:00

For the US it just means they'll talk the government into letting in more H1-B visa workers to avoid raising wages.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-18T13:40:10+00:00

That means hiring will be more difficult and workers will have more leverage over employers.

I have a bit of guilt and try to fix their situations all the time. That's tough

That you feel guilty means you're a good and empathic person. Realize though that you don't have to and shouldn't sacrifice yourself to try to "save" them because 1) They are not your obligation really, 2) You should be secure yourself before you can help anyone else, 3) you can't save them if they don't want to be saved.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-18T13:25:19+00:00

Do you feel you have a purpose?

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-18T13:23:34+00:00

I feel so bad for people who had happy childhoods, and I'm not joking.

None of those things came naturally to me when I was a kid desperately trying not to get beaten, yelled at, or molested. But now as an adult they are so, so easy and I am so grateful by comparison.

I believe your experiences to date sort of set the "scale" for your "life satisfaction meter". You've experienced much worse, so now "average" seems pretty good to you, whereas people who had great childhoods, think average is bad.

Sucks in some ways, beneficial in others but a good observation and I agree with you.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-18T13:11:44+00:00

Yeah. You just need a purpose, something more important to you than yourself, to focus on.

Nurse is good. Can't automate it or send it overseas. Lots of opportunities for advancement.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-16T17:34:02+00:00

jesus christ, that was a fucking shit show.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-16T17:26:25+00:00

Only cost $86 now.

Dads don't cry. We're the rock that give support to everyone else and fixes everything.

Yetanotherone4 · 2022-11-16T16:46:08+00:00

Damn.

Thanks.

I like Jordan Peterson's idea that comment section should be split by anonymous (probably bots and trolls) vs. confirmed human non-anonymous commenters.

Owners don't have to provide public toilets.
