    This is the job market today, to a large degree. I suppose there may be some amount of age bias, as with anything, but this is how things are lately.

    Here is a step-wise approach to solving the employment crisis (and many others):

    Elon Musk, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Bernard Arnault, Jensen Huang, Steve Ballmer, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Amancio Ortega, Michael Dell, Carlos Slim Helú, Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, Julia Koch, Zhong Shanshan

      If we liquidated that list of people and whoever is left in the epstein files the world could begin healing.

    Have they tried showing up in person, asking to see the manager and giving them a strong handshake?

    Or is it that the job market has been fucked for a while.

    Ageism has been an issue for a long time, but becomes more noticeable in the lean years. My friend was just canned on day 89, and she’s 55, whip-smart and finished an MBA this year focused on machine learning and its application in finance (not a slouch or a fogey).

    It’s a challenge since the people who were mentored are now easier to ignore. Hope to fuck I never need a heart machine because I’ve seen who’s gonna be writing their firmware.
