I was laughing out loud at the idea that someone could confuse me with one, not accusing you. Everything you've said about democrats, I've also said.

As far as democrats and republicans, the democrat is like that aunt who promises she'll take you to Disneyland but then she never follows through despite her telling you she's going to take you. It's like she had no intention in the first place.
The republican is like that asshole grandpa you have who keeps telling you he'll take you to disneyland, but then just keeps making excuses to blow you off....but then you find out that he went to disneyland without you. It's like he was just trying to be an asshole about it and didn't want to spend the money on YOU to take you to disneyland.
Both are assholes but just take a different direction of assholiness.

In my PERSONAL business, when I do an outcall, I charge $100 minimum for a basic swedish for 60 minutes. But it gets slower every year.
A welder is not an engineer, a welder should be paid for his time regardless of how the job turns out. Are there any specs that a welder needs to follow or is it just literally melting metal together?\
By the way, I was talking about massage chains, not fast food chains. Massage chains like Massage Envy or Hand and Stone.

A skilled welder should absolutely make more than $50. I learned after 08' that if you want to get paid what you're worth in this country you have to go into a niche, luxury field. Very wealthy people don't cut back during a recession. Start welding custom fish tank stands or something that rich people will overpay for so they can brag to their rich friends about how much they paid.

i see no real difference in the two parties, de facto. Most of our congress members from both sides own considerable stocks in weapons manufacturers and defense contractors. they both share an interest in selling weapons and therefor waging pointless wars. In this sense Ukraine is probably the most profitable war since the first gulf war. Israel--in the long term--even moreso.
Both parties share an interest in keeping the tax rates lucrative for corporations and promote corporatist trade agreements equally. Nafta, tifa etc. Both parties destroyed the glas stegal provisions which got us to this "too big to fail" state we're in now where we--the working class-- have to bail these monopolies out with our own piggybank (ss)
Both parties had a hand in overturning roe v wade (and I don't care with that Canadian guy thinks). one party swung the axe, the other party held the bucket. Whats the fuckin difference.
Everyone hated trump and called it a fascist government. woke people in the streets protesting police brutality but increasing police spending was one of the first domestic policies pushed by the biden admin and nobody said a fuckin word.
Remeber when everyone was mad about the "kids in cages" during trumps admin? not a peep about it during biden and theyve actually increased ice funding and border authority funding. funny. not a peep from the dems. Afterall it was obama that began the kids in cages concentration camps anyway.
Most people dont even know theyre being fucked, much less whos fucking them, much less how. Most people are too dense to figure out their own iphones--which were made to be intuitive. Yet they think they have a grasp on american politics, which have been made to complex and confusing by the smartest and most powerful people in the world.

are you being serious? you literally think we just melt metal together willy-nilly? I went to school for two years to learn this shit. the certifications are brutal. you realize they inspect structural welds with x-ray?

yeah right man. 25-30 is typical. Mcdonalds starts at 18$/hr now. My first welding job was building chairlifts for POMA of america. I think they started me at like 16$ but that was back in like 2001 when that was considered entry level

To be honest I've never actually looked up the dictionary definition of what welding is. To the average person, it just looks like melting metal together. I mean I'm not inside the actual factory, I've only seen pictures of welders with the fire sparks all shooting off.
I know it's probably more than just "melting metal together" but I really have never looked into what welders literally do. And I know they should be paid a lot of money.

The only people who should be getting paid minimum wage should be high schoolers only with their first job at a fast food joint. But after your first job, you should NEVER get paid minimum wage after that. Minimum wage should literally be just for teenagers who have all their bills paid by their parents.

Not sure what ya'll's opinions on the band 311 are but I fucking love that band 311. It reminds me of oceanside in the year 2000. It brings me back to my oceanside roots.

One time we're were using a pressurized filter to de-fat some CBD crude. So we diluted and chilled the crude down to -105 c then pushed it into the filter and through the paper with air. So I wasn't in charge at this point but I suggested to the guy who was that we should ramp the pressure up slowly and use the minimum necessary to get 'er done. Dude said the stainless vessel was rated for 90 psi so yolo or whatever and started at like, 60 psi. It ran for about 10 seconds before it started pinging and then CLANG! You better believe I jumped. The perforated plate the filter paper sits on had just been tacked in place in 4 spots so as the paper clogged, 60 psi was enough to break it loose and crumple it as it tried to push itself out the bottom. One of the partner's dad's was a master welder and he got a laugh out of how poorly constructed the extremely dangerous pressure vessel was.

Roller coasters stopped being fun for me like ten years ago. Idky but the feeling of my guts being shoved around like that isn't fun anymore. Now I really don't to ride the things.
