Work-At-Home Crowd: Tone Deaf To The Rest Of Us.

This is why the sell socialism to our kids. It makes outsourcing easier, not hard. We are doing it for the 'glory of the state'.

How come all the WFH people I know support Trump?

These are educators. They are WFH because of C'vid.

best thing to do is to produce. Produce two type products. One for doom, gloom and war, one for happy days.

I ask again, have you actually read any of this thread? You obviously are missing a great deal of what has been said. I'm not broke, destitute, or in need of a 'skills upgrade'. I am applying to RRT skewl because I want to help others, not because I need a paycheck.

Exactly.

Leftists tend to work for big media or government or any job paid by taxpayers so they tend to be recession proof and covid proof. Because of that they are just fine with the globalist scamdemic going on forever and social distancing and shutting down the economy because they are not the ones being hurt by all this. They get paid no matter what and are not the ones trying to figure out how to pay their bills since they don't own a private business that's been arbitrarily shut down by the government nor do they do any work that has to be done on site. They can stay home forever writing shit articles on their apple laptops for the New York Times about how we are all in this together and to wear your mask and go bankrupt for the greater good while these leftists sit pretty in their over priced apartments in some trendy neighborhood.

Sort of a version of liberal Nancy Pelosi and her "let them eat ice cream" attitude. Or her strength in tearing up paper at a State of the Union speech.

Everyone is getting a daily lesson in the true, dark, mean-hearted nature of the left.

Some of the greediest, most conniving, most non-empathetic people around are the so-called Limousine-Liberal left.

Compassion requires honesty, common sense, integrity and ethics in order to exist and thrive.

Liberals generally lack those four crucial traits.

Gonna have to second this one. I was a radiology transcriptionist for many years. My hospital sold the whole department to a national company that outsources to India. The reports became unreadable, contradictory, and inaccurate. Fortunately, the radiologists who contracted to the hospital hired me on the spot and I spent the last ten years working at home as a valued employee of a small local company. I'm retired now, thank God.

Twenty years ago, you could make a damn good living transcribing at home. Now it's not only a dying profession, but it pays peanuts. Peanuts cost too much, though, so most places are going to voice recognition, which is far less accurate than Indian transcriptionists.

See, that's actually working from home. Pampered educators, especially college professors, do not get any sympathy. Nor do make work jobs and you know who you are.

Okie doke. I have blocked ACs from this thread. Sorry to those that agree and have supported my position, but I've allowed this to be derailed and most of the derailing is from three trolls who are obvious pro-Biden, anti-Trump Antifa/BLM trolls.

I mean shit like this doesn't even make sense and it's an obvious foreign national.

Gender Studies professors come to mind.

So, you know my niece? She's an American Studies Major! What the fuck is that shit?

I've started creating twitters in their name and liking/responding to Trump posts.

A useless major for the most part unless she gets a job teaching that useless major. Anything with the word studies in it tends to be useless in the private sector where they demand you have marketable skills and knowledge.

Prayer ought to get the lights back on when the lines go down in an ice storm!

I never said who or what I supported. Just stating that this is clearly a humble brag.

I bet that arrogant snobbish professor and her husband wouldn't know how to repair the power lines nor for that matter anything else since they sneer and look down upon people who do.

do not make justice with your own hands. pray the Lord for Him will exalt you before them.

You're not really showing much respect for the people who built the computers you're using, who work at the power plants who generate the electricity you're using, who keep the lines maintained, who work at the water plant keeping the water clean and flowing so you can make coffee in the morning, who ship all the boxes of computers to people who work at home so they can make a living at a desk while others are handling materials in a warehouse for them.

Not to mention someone, somewhere, some mystery person you've never met and never will, sewed all the clothes you're wearing and someone runs all the machines that weave and knit the fabrics that went into your jacket and your hoodie your sweats.

Someone does that work for you and you benefit from it and you feel superior to them because you have so much of value to offer, as you say. Try doing it without them, you need all of them, someone has to do that work and I'll tell you one thing, physical work that gets you out on job keeps you sharp and in shape.

But the main thing is that we are living in a time when people are frustrated and need to vent - and so we are taking it out on each other and justifying our precarious existence by putting other people down -

Things didn't used to be like this and GLP didn't used to be this way either.

Maybe we can rise above.

That guy in OPs story should have never said what he said to OP in the Zoom class. He had no business talking like that to his wife's student. It made no sense at all in the context of the situation, really. I guess that guy is a new dad and losing it. But OP is making good life decisions, good choices, not bad ones. No reason for anyone to jump on him at all, and the people piling on this thread to jump all over people who are doing carpentry, plumbing, janitorial, production, sales, warehouse work, shipping, trucking, and other essential services - your attitude toward workers makes you look really shallow and bitter, and not very broadminded or sophisticated.

Bottom line there is a lot work in this world that has to be done on site and can't be done at home moving pixels on a computer screen.

Typical leftard. Conservatives respect people who have physical aspects to their jobs. Keeps you in shape in addition to being critically important to society.

In this way, as in so many others, we are SUPERIOR to leftists.

Well thats one more guy that wouldnt hire you op.

just sayin

Which is why you felt the need to post it as an AC repeatedly. Okay. That's your opinion, but have the balls to do it with your handle and not as an AC from a proxy sock puppet.

This guy will never be in charge of anything where he needs to hire me or anyone else. Just sayin'.

Right on!

Thanks for the breath of fresh air in this thread! Someone who gets it.

This I could not agree with more. True leftists, not men and women of labor poisoned by the lies of the Democrats, are often weak people, physically, mentally, and spiritually, who look down on those who do not gild the lily to make a buck.

We are basically living through Atlas shrugged right now.
