Yeah. Good one. I see this trend as bad all over. Less need for non-trades professionals in relation to supply (maybe we’re just becoming a banana republic w nukes). Colleges are failing to do what they’re paid to do. I look at what I do (engineering) and compare it what an attorney does and gets paid for it and engineering stinks in comparison.

Yeah the tax thing is so ridiculous. If you run a business with any kind of success the hurdles you have to jump through just to make sure you are taking advantage of all possible "loopholes" is enough to cause grey hair.

Way to find something funny in this! Just desert indeed!

I loved bubble wrap when I was a kid!

Good thing no one ever tried to make me wear it.

You got that right. To loosely quote Lenin, “If we can get them to Socialism, we’ve got them for Communism.”

The Epstein boomerang reminds me of the MeToo mania that rapidly faded when prominent Democrats/leftists got whacked.

A "moderate" Democrat is someone between Mao and Stalin on the political spectrum.

Yep! That was a good one.

And now in OR they are looking to ban hunting - crazy left coast politics....
What is next??

Another great collection, OGC! The opener was great - remembering riding (and driving with kids in the back) in pickups like that often!
And the school bus - we always seemed to get to school, and now they seem to be looking for reasons for keeping the kids out of school.
And the jackass and the boomerang....
Thanks again!!

Love the "then and now" memes, especially bad bunny, LOL! The Virginia commie woke are getting what they voted for - too bad those who didn't vote for it are equally screwed. The slow death of Star Trek, sad really. Nice start of the day, OUC, Thanks!

Be careful around all those loose ladies now! Never ever forget pill call!
Should one of those bimbos loves you and leaves you all knocked up, you'll be stuck in tattle-tale gossip city for nine whole months.
Oh, so many tongues shall wag! All those fingers and fingers pointing STRAIGHT AT YOU!
Everyone sayin' "Oh, you hussy, you!"
YOU! YOU! YOU! Hey, there he goes! How disgusting!
And guess what is the very, very worse?!
No way for your newborn to get out of you save for what I saw in some flick to Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Sharp knives and saws SURGERY!!!
A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!

She is such a liar that her nose should reach into another state.

The Horse is winning so far . . . perhaps Dogs running a close second.
As our days go forward, Humans will slip lower and lower on the totempole due to wokeism/fluoride use/and cosmic radiation.

Which species has greater intellect? ;^)
(Thank you, OUC!) 👍

I'm still on the Pill !!!

Approaching my 79th birthday in March, me dino has seen and heard things I would never believe possible during the previous century.
For example, such as anyone for being such a Woke joke he is capable of putting tampons in a school's restroom for boys.
Such as someone actually being elected as the governor of an entire freaking state?!!
Hey, and are any of you guys getting pregnant yet?

Yea Horse !

Laughing because it's 'just desert'. I thought, why not the "Humor" label . . . ?

Yes indeed. Add in the tradesmen who run their own business, which they can sell for millions of dollars after they build it up and run it for a relatively few years, and the numbers get tilted in their favor tremendously over those who waste their prime years engaged in schooling (like I did, earning a law degree that I never used. If I could only get back those seven years of college down the drain...).

A couple of ideas that high school counselors should put in front of their students is learn about Mike (Dirty Jobs) Rowe and ROTC scholarships. Mike wasn't around when I graduated in 1960 so I went the Navy ROTC scholarship route. My EE degree got me good jobs and at the end of my Mizzou tour, I was debt-free. I learned a lot about people and discipline in my five years in the Navy. And they were right, I did get to see the world. All except Antarctica.

College made sense for me in the 1980's BS in Computer Science ... MS in CS was financially sound -- get an advanced degree in two years with a Research or Teaching Assistantship, then walk out with degree(s) and no debts. The engineering world paid a premium for the MS Degree(s). By 2010, I was interviewing and hiring software engineers -- I was looking for Experience and Products produced on a resume, not a degree.

Although the skilled trades offer a better choice for career, at present, look down the road a few years. Who will be able to afford new construction, whether for homes, businesses, mining or data centers ... as the wheels fall off the AI / Data Center / Bitcoin Mining operations? Oh, right, the State will have ample funds for new construction.

I believe it's the same Robert Ringer ... other books -
Looking Out For Number One
Winning Through Intimidation.
He noted in these books a strong influence by the writings of Ayn Rand.

Moving outside the US can cut taxes to zero (if structured properly) and your expenses
can drop by 50%. You will still have to prepare tax returns though and live in a place
that doesn't tax worldwide income. You could also avoid winter if desired and health
care is as good or better for lower prices in some countries.
Staying in the US is not economically rational for many people, but non-economic
issues often are more important.
