I don't mean this to sound crass but 2% unemployment sounds lovely. The United States is normally around 9 to 12% unemployment.
You're right we definitely do have more open positions and a lot of those jobs, But ultimately I think it kind of washes out by the fact that everything here is so expensive and that unless you're paid extremely well in your field it's really hard to make it.
Anyway this has been really interesting hearing about some of the issues going on in the netherlands. I have some research to do. Your government tends to be a lot better at governing in mind so I'll be interested to hear what the solution that y'all come up with.
Ah yes we should just swallow everything any NATO country tells us as an objective fact.
Understood.
Ugh.
- Omar Khadr: Pled guilty to spying in Canada in 2010 was held in gitmo Bay before being transferred to Canada
Seriously I don't know why I'm I'm even dignifying this with a response because we both know that they hold people there that they accuse of being terrorist or Spies of terrorists without any due process and so we don't know their names typically and we don't know why they're in there other than what the US government will tell us which isn't much.
We also have multiple officials from that time admitting that the president and most the administration from that time knew that most of the people put in gitmo Bay were innocent And kept there because it was politically expedient. And that's just according to Wikipedia.
Still it's not a far stretch to imagine that United States has imprisoned foreign spies in places like gitmo Bay without informing the public.
Sorry I read something else and got confused I'll go correct the information later.
hurr durr none of these were spies. They were only accused of spying
Ahmed al Halabi
This guy was actually acquitted of the charges but was still horribly abused inside the prison: Captain James Yee
Mohammed Hashim
Omar Ahmed Khadr
I mean these are just a few. This wasn't even hard to look up. Did you not expect that there would be actual spies in one of the US terrorist torture camps?
~~That's an interesting part of the story but in this case this Canadian tourist hadn't live in the country at all. I feel like the speed at which he entered the US and then died indicates a problem with us custody and handling.
Like I feel like it's more egregious if you lived in the country for 30 years and then you know were prosecuted as a spy but to just die from being detained is total bullshit~~
Misread something not valid.
Someone's never heard of Gitmo Bay 🤣
From my personal experience people in the US don't have a lot of different jobs to choose from but we really don't. Unless you have the education and connections for the most part you're relegated to retail. It's hard to even get into management nowadays. Sure there's job growth but for the most part it's for minimum wage retail jobs or salary jobs that are for Dollar General where your work 80 hours to the Bone.
Most of my family Works Blue Collar construction jobs because they pay more consistently and they're easier to get into then the white collar stuff that I work in
Would you mind expanding on how there's a limited job market in the EU? I have the standard American perspective of the EU of being this nigh utopian place of freedom and competition even though I know it's actually not like that. The EU does definitely help with those type of regulations. The United States answers to the people with the most money typically the companies. That's why the iPhones would never be USB C if it was up to Americans.
Terrible Trigger Discipline but that looks like it's a BB gun...
