yeah the only way to make money in trades is by being really good at it and being self employed or carving out a niche. The rest is under skilled under payed and a huge liability if you hire these people.

my uncle is a self employed licensed electrician in Boston and makes good money, but good luck booking him. I got a friend who used to work on semi trucks but got into the refrigerator units on trailers that haul frozen goods and produces and makes way more money than he ever did working on trucks. Good luck getting him to work on your rig.

My father in law is trying get body work done to his classic italian car and the only place worth a drat is a small independent body shop that charges out the rear end and is booked 6 months out.

what I'm saying is that because of companies' corner cutting measures, unless you know someone, all that you're left with is literal retards pretending to be experienced welders who end up burning your warehouse down

uhh if the only good body shop is booked 6 months out im thinking maybe theres more demand than like, supply or something, so someone could probably open another body shop and be successful if they try hard and are good at it.

I'm thinking of another guy then who stole a bunch of info from the government, wrote a manifesto about how it's everyone's duty to get the book thrown at them to start the revolution because that's how you make online activists angry at the government, and then shat himself when they threw the book at him then

yeah that was weev he managed to let himself get busted in AR for drug charges and then ATT stuck it in and broke it off for accessing data. He then cried about prison and emerged an unironic white supremacist of the annoying "i'm a viking, I worship Odin, white man rules even though i'm 5'4" " flavor with a nine inch swastika tattooed on his chest

he wrote something called the "guerilla open access manifesto" that said that it is the duty of everybody with access to private databases to download and make public as much as possible, that freely copying and sharing digital data was a "moral imperative" that only somebody "blinded by greed" would oppose, and that copyright/IP laws were "unjust" laws created by corrupt politicians in the pursuit of "privatization of knowledge" and that everybody needed to engage in "civil disobedience" to oppose it

apparently, like most millenials, this so-called internet genius never scrolled down far enough on wikipedia to learn that people still get arrested for civil disobedience

his conviction was eventually vacated so he did


also instead of being a big turd and leaking a bunch of information to the media he could have contacted at&t and told them politely how he had discovered a vulnerability and then he could have worked to reach a conditional agreement to have a press release that explained the situation and credited weev or gnaa or whoever after the exploit was corrected

but that would be working with the man which is intolerable it's way better to go to prison and become a viking sorcerer

the only reason weev was let go was because the feds took one look at him after two years of hanging out with the aryan brotherhood and realized that he would do far more damage to his original cause (or rather, the cause that the civil libertarians attributed to him) outside prison than in

that is exactly what she is aiming for

it will be funny to see her in debates and on the campaign trail, trying to figure out who will be the real nominee and going on full attack against any of the other candidates who dare to criticize the presumptive nominee
