my old man didn't have a cimarron. he had a black custom van from the late 70s, complete with a mini fridge and a cheap lovely mattress in the back. then he had a chevy silverado. he sold the van to pay for an electronic HO-scale model train controller.

qirex posted:I wish there was a way to make it easier for companies to train up employees internally its not really difficult, except that its a long-term investment and most companies hate those the labor guidelines here are super simple. "if somebody is doing work that provides any value - even if its substandard or needs to be reviewed by someone - then you loving pay them for that work". its fine to train people but you have to pay them for their time if theyre doing real work.i can see why companies don't like it but it makes a scary amount of sense to me, especially since any loopholes that might get added will just be exploited to death
