  1. Time of continued growth?

    a) Isn’t the WAPO losing readers and revenue?

    b) don’t WAPO reporters preach growth is bad?

    c) nothing stops them from approaching George Soros to fund a new newspaper (American Pravda?)

    3. No media company is taking it in, rather, they’re bleeding from self-inflicted mortal wounds. Looks good on them.
      Check out TorStar and Postmedia stock. Any financial advisor that even mentions these stocks in passing should be drawn and quartered. Look at Glowbull, going cap in hand to Big Daddy government so they can keep the lights on.
      Maybe try publishing the truth, instead of your narrow, craven, political agenda, it might result in a bigger audience….still, at this point, my preference is to see them all go under, wither and die, for their sins.

      1. Agreed DanBC, but lets face it, Trust is easy to build, until you or they do something untrustworthy. Once that trust has been broken, it’s almost impossible to rebuild. Would any of us ever trust them again after what they have done?

        All go under, wither and die indeed!

  2. Our scholastic system is truly a horrendous mess of outrageous claims and terrible mess of not much is ACTUAL FACTUAL EVIDENCE…pure Bullshitting from all our politicians as they’ve created a fantasy alliance world which is crumbling under examination.

    Engineers are a truly talented breed when you see what they are changed with and the solutions they create and achieve…
    What if….the Pyramids in Egypt were designed for a water burial system of dissipate weight on sand is its true function?

    1. Building a fantastic tribute to the Great God’s while creating a new resting place that would be difficult for burglars to ransack the remains.
      Wooden coffins that float like remains found around?
      Needing a stone case which also preserved the remains inside.
      Other thoughts on different things…
      Our planets atmosphere is held down by the escaped and expended gases from the Sun which is our Nitrogen base.
      Our planet gives off its own centrifugal force which generates our water vapor.
      Now with this in mind…
      That spire of trying to build to heaven must have blown quite a force of wind through…
      Now look at a different structure which collapsed when a plane struck it…the cement over the decades had to be fracturing with age…the weight distribution shifted as first responders opened the doors all on the bottom levels for escape…
      Just thoughts…

  3. “Learn to code.”

    I’ve always found that expression irksome.

    Taking a night-school course to learn a programming language might equip you to write simple apps or java scripts or something. But don’t think for a second that you’re now a software engineer capable of taking on major projects, any more than learning to build dog houses makes you a professional carpenter.

      1. I translate it to GFY. Losing 500,000 subscribers is continued growth to Darcy.
        I’m going to do a little brainstorming, spit-balling here, how about STOP LYING!?

    2. In all fairness, most software engineers can’t code either.

      My job is supposed to be DevOps engineering – improving the process of building, deploying, running and monitoring software.

      What my job actually is is looking at code bases that haven’t been updated in ten years and that were designed wrong in the first place, and telling “senior” software engineers how to fix their broken code.

      My experience has been that people who have done other things before coming to programming are much better programmers, especially if that other thing ever involved building something physical. The best C# programmer I’ve ever met used to frame houses.

    3. I consider myself to be a software engineer. It has taken me many, many years to get to my current state of expertise.
      When I graduated from high school I hadn’t even ever touched a real working computer, except for that time when I was inside of one along with my fellow class mates on a class field trip to the UBC campus.
      Prior to the beginning of covid I’ve been known to spend months at a time doing many hours a day developing / writing code. Since covid I’ve spent a grand total of perhaps 5 hours using a computer, not including my smart phone.
      I have spent the last few years though on reviewing and studying mathematics (calculus, differential equations) , something called The Finite Element Method (an extremely complicated subject that involves matrixs, mathematics, structural engineering and software engineering), quantum mechanics ( so I could understand atmospheric physics to help me in my climate science studies), electrical engineering and physics study.
      I think starting tomorrow I am going to get back to doing my software engineering, slowly reintroducing myself to my unfinished big projects that I had been working on.

    4. It is irksome. It was first uttered by a gaggle of ignorant, holier than thou, “journalists” who were explaining to a bunch of coal miners what they could do with themselves after Obama took away their livelihoods. No clue about anything and no sympathy for individuals who lives were just shattered.

  4. Learn to weld, or do electrical work, plumbing, machinist, engineering, truck driver, but don’t bother learning to code … that’s passé … everyone under 30 seems to know how to code. And there are always openings in the fast food business.

    Do I feel sorry for all the tech heads losing their jobs … most of them lost their souls long ago.

    1. A friend owns a Montana’s franchise. According to her, servers (paid minimum wage) making $200 – $300 in tips per shift is not uncommon.

      Learn to serve.

      1. I think they should learn to shovel manure.

        If the gang greens get there way, only the very rich will have cars, the rest will have to use older methods of transport; for example: horse drawn carts.

      2. Someone I know who is really attractive and flirty could make $400 a shift in an upscale bar. When she worked in a restaurant she was accused of stealing because she always had a huge wad of cash from a couple hundred in tips every night while some sad sacks had next to nothing. Waiting is the easiest job on earth. Make sure they have everything before they ask for it and laugh at their stupid jokes.

      3. A buddy has a very attractive, very built niece. She’s late-30’s now. Been a server all her life, including some of the seedier places like Cowboys in Calgary. The more cleavage & leg she displays, the flirtier she gets, the more the tips roll in. She was making $500 a shift, minimum, on tips, tax free, for years. Flew all over the planet on holidays. One of these days all that beauty is going to head south & she’ll be SOL, uneducated & broke.

        Have an acquaintance who has worked in various local watering holes for >20 years. Very bright girl, a few years of schooling & she could be whatever she wanted, successful & secure. Could never convince herself to leave to tips. Always a petite girl, she got a boob job about 10 years ago, tips paid for the surgery in 6 months. Now in her 40’s, that beauty is starting to fade & her feet & back are starting to cause problems. Hope it was worth it.

        1. A former co-worker of mine made $80k/year in the late 90s as a bartender, mostly tax-free, bought a house, a good car and a studio, then got a full-time job for the benefits and had a side hustle as a session musician. And I know software engineers that make over $200k/yr now and are worried about making mortgage payments. It’s about planning and fiscal discipline.

        2. I have a relative whose daughter worked at the Ft.McMurray Earl’s restaurant prior to the market tanking. She made a minimum of $500 in tips each and every night as a server. Paid for her university degree. Every night the place would be packed with a steady stream of oil sand workers, flush with cash and after dinner was eaten and copious amounts of overpriced liquor was consumed, tabs totalling $1000 per table of 4 was all too common.

  5. Laura, earning to code won’t really help in an economy that has Amazon laying off 12,000 and Twittler firing more than half. Google will be firing, not hiring. Software engineers are not immune to unemployment, let’s just say.

    Maybe learn to weld. At least you’ll be able to do rust repairs on whatever crappy electric golf carts we end up driving after ICE vehicles are declared anathema.

    1. Amazon and Google aren’t firing the software engineers. Twitter is, but those people won’t stay unemployed for long.

      Good software engineers are immune to unemployment. The problem is the Dunning-Kruger effect is rampant in this industry.

  6. The CIA should develop a retraining program for when their media assets are no longer useful to the Globalist 4th Reich cause.

    or they could just JFK them all… what good are useful idiots when their “usefulness” is no longer, useful.

  7. It shouldn’t take that many drones to parrot the pieties of the institutional left and make money in the process. The could hire the Spawn to come up with a “Just Transition” for the excess.

  9. Learn to code … or go after all those “green” jobs out there in the “green” economy. /s

  10. When Canadian MSM went thru this a few years ago Trudeau bailed them out.
    The rest is history.
    How ironic that American MSM has been an arm of the Dem narrative all the years without the overt government money.
    Will Biden and Kamala follow Trudeau’s example and now give them the money up front?
