Yeah, but it is a question of whether his base will believe him or not.

The same way people can learn to dance while reading a book.

Not exactly.

There were attempts after Mao to try to remove the threat of dictatorship from the government. The Politboro operated as a full committee until Xi consolidated power.

But if people are choosing to go into a trade, are they choosing IT as that trade?

When I hear people talking about going to trade school over college, I expect them to go into technical fields where their trade certifications are enough to get by on.

I can see that having a college degree may be a benefit at getting a job at your company, but would you recommend that people go to college to work at your company? Based on your numbers, a college degree only turns a 1 out of 4 chance to a 1 out of 3 chance of getting a job.

Even if you aren’t, the tolerance of executions is pretty high.

A country has to execute a lot of people per year to suffer some form of international consequences.

The value of a degree doesn’t drop because more people get one,

It absolutely does. Part of the reason lawyer pay collapsed was because of the proliferation of law colleges that increased lawyer supply.

It happened to be that there was an increase in demand for college degrees in the later 20th century which countered supply, but the labor premium of having a college degree over a trade certification has dropped significantly over the past generation.

A lot of millennials went to college and chose specific degrees due to the promise of a higher wage. That wage difference isn’t there anymore.

I’m not that surprised. The value of a college degree has decreased substantially as more people have gotten them.

I know the education quality for drafting has been so bad that the field has shriveled up over the past few decades as they’ve pushed more engineers and architects to do their own CAD.

Honestly, the best country to approach this would be China, and I don’t think China would want to deal with the risk of building infrastructure.

The USA still pays more.

I’ve got to go with a classic in Tony Soprano. He’s a real piece of shit, and yet I can’t look away.

A unicorn is just a rhinoceros through a long game of telephone.

Yes

It was a difference between Western powers versus the Soviet Union. Western powers tried to make sure that Germans understood their complicity to genocide even if they didn’t operate concentration camps. In contrast, the Soviet Union generally portrayed the problem being Hitler leading the people astray.

Yeah. I was going to go with my time myself.

Because you need a justification for the higher price. Without the update cycle, flagship phones would likely need to be cheaper to sell.

A lot of working and middle class people don’t understand how tax brackets work and a lot of upper class people don’t have a financial incentive to correct the working and middle class.

Also, a lot of upper class people have shifted their income from wages to capital gains, which has a lower effective tax rate.

It is more that I’d be assessing if I can drive my car around with its plates.
