I've always thought the "STEM shortage" was a myth pushed by Silicon Valley sociopaths who are mad they they can't pay coders 30k/yr to work for 80 hours a week. Are there any STEM fields that legitimately have a shortage of workers to fill positions?

Plenty of niche fields especially outside of tech. People pay a lot of attention the Engineer and Tech part and not a lot to the Science and Medicine part.

New Jersey has a gubernatorial election next year and it looks like we may have an actual Dem primary instead of anointing Phil Murphy outright:

quote:

Assemblyman John Wisniewski's announcement Tuesday he's launching a statewide bid to succeed Gov. Chris Christie could upend a Democratic primary that many considered over before it officially began.

Wisniewski, who gained national notoriety for spearheading the investigation into Christie's administration over the George Washington Bridge lane closures, declared he's challenging former banking executive Phil Murphy with hopes to become the state's 56th governor.

[...]

It was Wisniewski's time heading the transportation committee and his investigation into toll increases that ultimately led to the Bridgegate scandal becoming national news.

Wisniewski's panel subpoenaed the authority largely because it was probing the toll increases. After four days of gridlock in Fort Lee with rumors of punitive undertones became news in the state, the panel launched an investigation.

It joined forces with Senate lawmakers and together, the Democratic-controlled committee subpoenaed state officials that led to the infamous "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" email.

[...]

As Democrats across the state and country lined up behind former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, Wisniewski opted to throw his support behind underdog Bernie Sanders.

He served as chairman of Sanders' New Jersey campaign.

Yeah and thats a problem but when the average age of some fields is hitting 60+ that's not good! Free college would go a long way towards allowing people to not base their major of after-education profit.

This is a pretty good Twitter thread imo:

There's tons of fearmongering going on among the left IMO and its distracting from actual fights for change

This was a good thread, as someone who has studied gay history a lot it's important to have some perspective on where we have been and where we are going. GWB, who liberals are trying to paint as a moderate compared to Trump, literally supported sodomy laws as recently as 1998. Trump on the other hand calls gay marriage settled law and waves around a rainbow flag on stage. That's not to say that I think the Trump administration will advance LGBT rights, I don't believe that it will, but it's important to view it in the context of history and see that we're still making a ton of progress.

Obama wanted to control DC Democrats from Chicago. Instead the future of the Democratic party is directed from a snow covered home in Burlington Vermont. (no i don't know what the weather is 2000 miles away)

real talk the obama camp is probably PISSED that they, the monied interests, have lost their influence over a major political party after all of that money transfered hands. i 100% guarantee you it has nothing to do with socialism and everything to do with "we invested a billion dollars in the party, but even if we lost, we retain control over them when they recover"

Fun fact: I learned from Bernie's book that when Bernie first moved to Vermont the house didn't have running water and he and his wife had to dig and use their own outhouse.

The man used to have to go outside in the freezing northern winters to take a poo poo. No wonder he doesn't give a hot gay gently caress about anything.

That's been your fun Bernie fact of the day.
