I'm unsure of why Bolling went with the Watchmen theme to comment on the To Kill a Mockingbird sequel thing. Kind of a weird choice.

It's an unironic "Lucky Ducky". He legitimately made an comic about how people in a lower economic class have it easier than "real people".

Never try to create jobs or a stable civil society. Just bomb everyone all the time and make sure you keep foreign civilians poor, desperate, and angry at all times, that'll ensure a lasting peace.

The extended forecast concerns the days ahead and has nothing to do with present weather, you twit.

Keep in mind his thesis that Lee's lawyer is hurting Lee's interests when she's supposed to be protecting them. It makes less sense as a direct Watchmen allegory and more sense as a reference to a thing named after a reference to Juvenal.

EDIT: ^ what he saidachillesforever6 posted:I like how my generation is called un-ambitious by the people who want us to work factory and plumbing jobs because as you know that sure is more ambitious than wanting to be a scientist. Also, during my life I heard things like "If you don't get a college education, you'll be flipping burgers the rest of your life", and once the economy shat the bed in 2008 or so they were the same people saying "Oh, is flipping burgers beneath you". It's easier than people coming to the realization that our economy has been off kilter since the 80's.

Fulchrum posted:I don't recall ever hearing about a significant group of protestors against the behaviour of Japan that entire war, whereas there were numerous German groups who actively resisted the Nazis the entire time, many in high positions. It seems entirely possible to me that the US Government putting the entire Japanese American population into concentration camps might have put a damper on any anti-war sentiment in the homeland. Furthermore, a cursory google search reveals that the majority of anti-war dissidence in Japan in the WW2 era came from the Japanese Communist Party, so it is not entirely surprising that you have never heard much about them.

And of course my dad thought that if I just drove around wearing nice clothes with a stack of resumes, and handed them out to every business around, I'd get a job in no time. I guess someone who hasn't had to look for work in 40+ years wouldn't really know how that kind of thing works now.

There was definitely tons of resistance leading up to Japan's warpath through the Pacific but it was so brutally repressed that by the time America got involved, it was all but non-existent. And it's not at all surprising that Japanese were depicted differently in propaganda from Germans, considering the vast majority of white people in the US have some sort of German ancestry.

Anti-Japanese sentiment was a thing at the time (and yes the immigration policy disputes going back to ~1900 did cause friction if not nearly enough to silence dissent on its own), while anti-German sentiment for reasons other than the war had been resolved over a century before. So it wasn't playing off existing animus. Also Japan in that period was a train wreck waiting to happen. There's stuff like assassinations all over the place which helps create a self-selecting clique taking the country to war.

TVs Ian posted:I was out of work for 6+ months around 2012, and I couldn't even get the fast food places to call me back. Probably because I was in my 30s and had been making more at my previous jobs, so they figured I'd bail as soon as something better came along. They would have been absolutely right, but still I couldn't even get an interview, much less a job. Holy gently caress this times a million. "Just walk around with your resume and see what's out there." fuuuuuuuuuuck you person who hasn't had to look for a job in decades. I got turned down for a minimum wage job at god drat Home Depot two weeks before finding a job in my technical field that pays more than double and has me handling millions of dollars in equipment while sitting on my rear end in the air conditioning reading the SA forum all day instead of walking all day on those concrete floors

People have been conditioned to never, ever, EVER blame employers for anything in the economy. So they're mystified as to why suddenly you need a specific degree and 2 years minimum of experience for any entry-level position, why job training within companies has evaporated, why jobs anyone could do now need resumes and cover letters, and why wages are stagnant. Everything is blamed on the "economy," because certainly companies themselves cannot simply have gotten worse about employment over the years.
