Less traffic again!<br /><br />Finding a date at the bar or nightclub? Nah. Just do online dating. Less traffic again!<br /><br />I think some places will still require workers - farms, restaurants, power plants, specialty hobby stores, mines, military bases, etc. but at a less scale of workers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-45434822785558807602017-05-05T09:52:02.256-07:002017-05-05T09:52:02.256-07:00I see things like this effort to save the coal ind...I see things like this effort to save the coal industry. A guy who runs a shop to do inventing/research is looking into changing coal to graphite. He reports having changed the conductivity of coal/coal spoils. <br /><br />If it turns out to be something, that will throw the environmentalists for a loop. Suddenly the coal industry will rev up. Graphite is a major constituent in lithium batteries and currently has limited sources, thus higher prices.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rekx04IVQFw&ab_channel=RobertMurray-SmithJK Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-26882361870802422452017-05-05T05:06:12.147-07:002017-05-05T05:06:12.147-07:00"They will lower taxes" Bwahaha thanks ..."They will lower taxes" Bwahaha thanks for the laugh. As if any government anywhere ever REALLY lowers taxes. No, instead this money will be steered towards more vote-buying gibsmedats, or possibly to importing more gimmiegrants. And the environmentalists and global warming alarmists will also never stop, because doing so will mean they are out of a job. We could get back to carbon levels equivalent to prehistory, and they will STILL bitch about all the exhaled breath we dirty humans produce. The proof of this is that we could be carbon neutral in 20 years by shifting over to nuclear power. But not a single global warming pusher ever even acknowledges that as a solution.Observasaurus Rexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-25061748178493308122017-05-04T23:01:15.403-07:002017-05-04T23:01:15.403-07:00A very well articulated argument against the worth...A very well articulated argument against the worthless left, but I do have a question and that is<br /><br />"What Global Warming?"<br /><br />Come to Canada and experience the lack of climate warmth for yourself.Omega Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-67985034338407495392017-05-04T21:37:18.094-07:002017-05-04T21:37:18.094-07:00Thinking about why telecommuting has'nt caught...Thinking about why telecommuting has'nt caught on makes me wonder about a conspiracy...<br />Just think of all the road tolls,city construction jobs,city council control,etc that would disappear if people weren't forced into their corporate glass anthills every day....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-86374799401926520812017-05-04T21:15:40.789-07:002017-05-04T21:15:40.789-07:00I am one of the original telecommuters, so you can...I am one of the original telecommuters, so you can thank me. In the mid-90s, I convinced my boss to allow me to telecommute on an as-needed basis from my home with a dial-up modem, only on days I could not make it into the office when it was shut down due to the weather or when they needed my support after-hours (I was an IT professional consultant). I never abused it. This was for a Fortune 5 company (I won't say who it was). Consequently, when I was actually going to leave them in 1997 they contracted with me to do the first remote telecommute they said they had ever done with a programmer/analyst from another state that I moved to, in anticipation of needing my services to scan/fix their systems with regards to the Year 2000 'bug' that so many around the world thought would crater commerce.<br /><br />Naturally, I accepted, at a very nice and high pay rate.<br /><br />I worked that way from over 2,000 miles away from the main office for 6 years, banking enough money to retire at the age of 46 in 2003. I had to fly back every so often but that was a minor annoyance and they paid all expenses.<br /><br />Subsequent to my leaving, I found out that their experience with me made them a lot more confident in letting other top performers do work from home.<br /><br />I can tell you that since I was a consultant and not an employee with hopes of advancing within the company that seldom having to attend a meeting in person and kissing up to the manager, I never was at a disadvantage because I GOT THE WORK DONE ON TIME and didn't waste it in productiveless meetings. I did conference in on phone meetings and those were useful, but they knew me already and didn't need me there.<br /><br />Btw, Aaron, you know 'global warming' is complete bullshit, stop pandering to the weak-minded.<br /><br />Emachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840063010945638870noreply@blogger.com
