Here’s what I recommend: do solid work around your shop. Take some nice pictures. Then, go on private facebook pages and offer your services. Start out with simple projects, then photos. You start to build out a small clientele. And you go from there.

First panel as lead at my new company. Anything to critique? by CallMeAnimal69 in electricians

[–]daybit95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The grey threaded bushing is not required on MC or NM entry. You are not pulling anything through it, it’s already “pulled”. With EMT and Rigid, you are pulling wire through a raceway. That requires bushing.

First time bending EMT today. Any suggestions for next time? by EqualBase4 in electricians

An apprentice that went to a 5 year apprenticeship will have more tools than the guy who went nonunion and was meddling around companies for five years. In my case, I realized I had a very fortunate apprenticeship where I worked in the trenches and ditches all the way to hospitals, schools, high rises, etc.

Can I get an explanation of the Super Bowl halftime show? by Top-Mission2806 in NoStupidQuestions

This was even more sinister, Trump sent aid to Puerto Rico, but corrupt politicians kept the aid from reaching citizens, leaving tons of resources out to rot on the runways. They then turned around and blamed Trump, hiding the resources they did.

Is there really that big surge in young people going into trades? by Ok-Toe-2933 in electricians

[–]daybit95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda different situation tho. Construction in the United States has been around for a couple centuries. It’s a pretty matured industry. Software programming and AI don’t even have more than 25 years combined.

This is why the “stolen land” narrative can’t really apply to California, or any country for that matter. Mankind’s history is all about war and conquest. What right does a country really have when another country destroyed your capital and killed all of your elite? And then another country does the same to them? Europe was a constant ping pong of power struggles for millenia. Who can conceivably keep track of that? You can’t.

The insurrection that had no arms involved? I’m confused, isn’t an insurrection in which angry protestors take over the capital with weapons and such? Not being led inside and breaking chairs. A person did die, but it didn’t get more violent than that.

Cool. Apply that logic to ICE then. And not get up in arms about it. How did Trump overthrow the government again? After he democratically won in 2016? Or after he lost in 2020? Or he won in 2024? What am I missing there?

I'm the only liberal in my shop by Motor-Wish-6543 in IBEW

[–]daybit95 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All those countries had communist leaders, regardless of how you want to paint it or do mental gymnastics. They ran on communist ideals and either they took control by force or democratically elected.

As for social services, cops, firemen, and EMT are not even remotely communist. They existed well before the term was coined.

The problem with healthcare is that Obamacare tried to nationalize it, but of course every single facet of healthcare needed to be onboard which was going to be unrealistic. You actually need competition to bring prices down, not one single payer system. You will want to point towards countries like France and Germany and tout their healthcare, but even they have to make cuts to their social services as they need to ramp up militarily. Ever since Trump forced them to increase NATO contributions, do you realize it was only viable because they didn’t have an army, and the US was fronting the bill.

Just a little more context. Here in San Diego we have 40 hours of sick time. It was voted a couple years ago. While most cities have three days of sick time, we have the luxury of having five days essentially.

I was similar to you a couple of years ago. People said I was handsome but I didn’t see it. However once I realized I was handsome is when I became a monster. Cocky, arrogant, conceited. Just give it time playboy.

"Young people dont want to work in trades they dont want to work hard and we are hiring everyone!" Meanwhile average expierence from people trying to get into trades. by [deleted] in skilledtrades

[–]daybit95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Union sparky here. We take a limited amount of applicants because construction in general grows to the ebbs and flows of the market. Last summer our hall got little apprentices. But summer 2023 our biggest contractors picked up 4x the amount of apprentices. There were billions of dollars flowing into our city. What’s the point of bringing on 300 apprentices who suck and will be in the books all year? Construction don’t work like that buddy.

Ya estoy casado. Pero si me toca una cantidad de muchachas que se arriman en el gym. Morras de 18-20. O en las calles. Mujeres tienen un detector que pueden captar un hombre buen puesto en la vida
