The Labor Pains Megathread

Man, you are really not leaving us any grey area between Slavery & no-work sundays there Tamas.

I was referencing the past hysteric arguments of certain posters. Not in the mood to restart them, however.

That's pretty much the argument of the Languish Left.  I agree that it is retarded, but the left uses "slavery" like the right uses "communism:" with far more enthusiasm than intellectual honesty.

Double Whooooooooooooosh!

Grumbler takes offense at that. He owned slaves once.  Also was a slave.

  As a Carolina plantation owner, grumbler never forgot his roots coming up in the Hittite salt mines.

So you never really understood the argument.

It appears that he did not.

Didnt stop Grumbler either.

Hittites?  I would have guessed a Roman galley.

Grumbler should be thankful, for he has repeatedly stated that slave labor is impossible in an industrial setting since the slaves would just destroy the machines.  The article I posted documents people being held against their will and forced to work in a sweatshop for years before finally escaping.  Now that he knows it is possible he should have new opportunities to exploit.

[grumbler]

Thanks for expending the lifespan to tell me what I think, guys.  It is amusing to see how wrong people can be when they really try.

[crazy canuck]

Now that he knows it is possible he should have new opportunities to exploit.

I suspect he knew it all along but only feigned ignorance to throw us off his masterplan.

You're STEM love may have been overly optimistic though - just saw a thing about a guy with a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Pharmacology bemoaning his long term unemployment

Overly broad, maybe.  Not too much market love for extremely advanced degrees in microbio.  Maybe a handful of biotech research firms or the CDC.  A BS in microbio could conceivably land you a grunt spot in just about any lab that deals with life sciences, though.

Or the NIH.  Or the FDA.  Or the USDA.  Or the US Army.   His problem is he went the pharmacology route, and not genetics.  That's where the demand is.
