(L | A) 58% of students who graduated (college) within the past year are still looking for a job, per FORTUNE​

... graduates are being frozen out of the workforce; about 58% of students who graduated within the past year are still looking for their first job, according to a recent report from Kickresume. The labor market and hiring situation have become so bad that more than a third of all graduates now say their degree was a “waste of money,” according to a 2025 survey from Indeed.

Gen Z graduates are so massively unemployed, despite making up only 5% of the workforce, that they’re even pushing up the U.S. jobless rate—having an “oversize” impact on America’s unemployment rate.

The youngest generation of workers is especially downtrodden by their prospects, with 51% expressing remorse for getting their certificates, compared to 41% of millennials and 20% of baby boomers.
As someone who was a hopeful biology teacher who wasted money on a Masters, I agree.

In my suburban/rural area, old fuck boomer teachers are holding onto their jobs until they are in there 70's, and schools are now hiring the least qualified people possible to save a quick buck. A school south of me got busted for a teacher being a pedo, the dude didn't even have teacher certification.

months before today I figured that if Curtis Sliwa was the R nominee, that I'd vote for a Write-In option. I refused to vote for him in 2021 because of his NeverTrump past. I was also turned off by seeing some libshits online say "Sliwa actually seems like a decent guy not like one of those MAGAts. He is an old school rule of law Republican, if more GOP politicians were like him then Trump would be imprisoned like Bolsonaro"

but the Charlie Kirk assassination made me figure that I ought to vote Sliwa as a pro-right-wing-unity move and I'm guessing Charlie's spirit would want me to vote for Sliwa, so that's what I did earlier today (2nd day of early in person voting in New York City; I live in an area with many East Asian and South Asian immigrants so that's why there are all those foreign scribbles. My area swung heavy towards Trump in 2024 and Mamdani obviously won't do as well in NYC as Eric Adams did 4 years prior in 2021 as D nominee)

I was certain that Mamdani was going to be the next Mayor on around 9:40pm the night of June 24 when I peeked at the Democratic primary results. Too many voters in NYC who just mindlessly vote for the D next to the name, though Mamdani will nevertheless heavily underperform Eric Adams' 2021 performance and de Blasio's 2017 and 2013 performances because of Cuomo siphoning away older Dem and affluent voters who are worried about Mamdani's extremism.
Incredibly disgusting that there is any language other than English on an official document in this country.
 
The private burnings aren't taking place at a Lefty riot
Because people who have done time in the sandbox and probably lost friends there or left bits of their bodies and/or sanity back there take desecration of the flag very, very personally, and anyone who desecrates the flag knows this.

Since we apparently, in America, feel like it's fine for a black man to literally kill you if you call him a nigger (seriously, depending on the judge, your self-defense claim can go right out the window if you use the dreaded n-word as a nigger assaults you), I think it's pretty much fine if someone who's done a combat tour kicks your ass if you desecrate the flag.
I was thinking more in the vein of burnings on someone's own property away from other people, not in public where it could be a safety hazard regardless of any possible GWOT related reasons for burning it. I personally don't get angry about flag burning on its own and am more or less indifferent to it, though I'm at least aware of the idea of the Neocon argument of "It's about what the flag represents, not the flag itself."

Incidentally, white Boomerlib politicians and judges having "pet black people" as it were who will let them get off scot free attacking a white person strikes me as a different conversation to some extent - just remove 1945, and American liberal politics just at the end of the day comes down to crying about black people; those same Boomerlibs by the way years ago were the same ones who spit on and threw vomit on shellshocked teenagers drafted to be a bullet sponge in an unwinnable jungle war (and then play nuclear chicken with Russia decades later) - that is something which makes me livid. And they're still larping as revolutionaries as they write laws for us to follow.
I can't tell if that's a woman or an effeminate male.

sounds like we need to import 500k more jeets!
 
Trump is making overdue improvements to the remote East Wing of the White House, so that events do not have to be held in makeshift tents as in the past. Democrats strongly oppose this. So that we can understand their objections, let’s listen as a neoliberal makes her case against the privately funded new ballroom.

They don’t like the ballroom because Trump is building it, and Trump represents the rejection of their rule.
 
I'm enjoying that it's safe to assume most of these retarded takes we see online come from old ladies that spend all day being mad at the Internet.

Yeah, all the East Asian and South Asian and Hispanic immigrants in my area ought to at least be able to discern different Roman Alphabet spellings for names, rather than need it spelled out for them in their native script. By the time they vote they presumably saw names in Roman Alphabet like Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani, etc multiple times, so bloating the ballot size by writing such names in foreign scripts is blatant in-your-face signaling that the government bends over backwards for immigrants.

They ought to be able to speak fluent English too but catering to them with Korean/Mandarin/Hindi(?)/Urdu(?) script is presumably to show that they go "above and beyond" for foreigners
 
George Bush Senior was the last president that cared about NASA and space exploration and one of the big follies of him not winning reelection is that we'd probably be on Mars by now had he's won in 1992.
Another thing to consider if he won re-election is that the Superconducting Super Collider would've been completed instead of being canceled.

Hallo, HR madam, saar! Yes, you call about Sanjeep Munjabi’s application? Yes, I tell you right now that Sanjeep make the graduate from Delhi State University. I can assure you we are a real university. I am not some man printing diplomas in my apartment and I do not do this in exchange for gift cards and bitcoin. You must hire this man, HR lady saar. He paid the extra five thousand rupees to graduate with honors.

Notice how she says "get this fucking thing out of my house".

"*My* house". Not the President's. Not the American people's. Her house.

Boomer entitlement, everyone.

On the bright side, at that age and with that unbridled rage, she's well on her way to a massive coronary.
 
Bernie and AOC are supposed to be campaigning for Mamdani right now but they're apparently an hour and a half late so C-SPAN is showing an interview with John Grisham instead. I wonder what the holdup is.
