Crushing unemployment among the young people in the EU

[Ideologue]

Ide thinks the minimum wage should be ~$15/hour.

And $10 of that should be taxed to pay for people to not do robot work.

I don't know what that means.

24 and under. 25 seems to be the age in which the fucknuts snap out of their stupid shit, buckle down and grow the fuck up.

Are there really that many 24 year old veterans?

I think there is a 3 year hitch for the Navy. Or was.  Point is, Vets get a pass in my book. Unless I think you dropped a carcass down a well somewhere.

You said that you automatically toss the resumes of people with military service record.  That's a clear-cut violation of the federal law concerning employment discrimination in US.

I repeat - how that differs from what EdAnger said? Seriously, go fuck yourself. I was responding in kind to an equally ridiculous statement from EdAnger - I am not going now to explain myself to some idiot who can't take a joke.

Ed Anger discriminated for veterans, not against them.  And age discrimination is illegal only on the old side.  That's the difference.

This is discrimination either way. As I said, your law is fucked up if it allows to discriminate by refusing to hire people without military service record (in genera - I am not talking about jobs where this might be relevant, such as security guards).

Besides, if you have 100 cvs and are supposed to pick 5 people to invite for an interview, you want to pick creme de la creme. People who do military service usually are people with some fucked up priorities and no clear path ahead of them (if they subsequently seek a job of a lawyer) so you discard such losers just as you would discard someone who spent 5 years backpacking in Tibet.

What?

I want Martinus in my hands.

Ewwww

Isn't the employee-side of the internship deal is that while getting some income you also gain some semblence of work experience, so you don't hit the market with a fancy-sounding degree but not being able to navigate the most basic office tasks/enviroment?

Keep your dirty talk to pms, plz.

[The Brain]

For Siege every day is pms day.

[Eddie Teach]

You really like that pun, don't you.

You really like that pun, don't you.

No.

Presumably your law firm is hiring lawyers, so we're not talking about former infantry men but people who were military lawyers. What's wrong with them?

They enlisted instead of joining a top firm after getting their degree?

There are two very scary things about this crisis: first, it's been far longer than the 93 crisis and doesn't seem it is going to get better at all anytime soon.

Yep.  It is starting to reach Great and Long Depression sort of dimensions.  It really all depends on Europe now everybody is watching you dudes with baited breath to see if you are going to tank the whole world economy.  Please don't.

That came out wrong, didn't it?

I don't think there's much to hope on that front. Only Merkel can save the day, but she's mired in the lazy PIGS fallacy.

I heard she went begging money from the Chinese this week.  It says alot about how desperate we all are that the Chinese just might start throwing money at the problem.

Rotating interns every three months is cheaper than employing a full time admin assistant even though, though the interns don't know this, there's no hope of a job at the end of it.

Ok, shit like this should be illegal and to the point of such thing, if proven, should be considered a criminal fraud punishable with prison.

It's one thing to have a low pay trial scheme for prospective hirees, and another to have this.
