Funny, I assumed it was a subtle critique of how change always elicits haters. Though now I realize it was an honest non-sequiter to complain about his pet issue?
I think a lot of people mean "Wedding DJ" or "Radio DJ".
However there is a whole small subculture around this. A friend would go hunting for records to sample in Charity shops for old vinyls (this was pre-ebay). This apparently is known a "Digging" and lot of Music Producers, DJs etc would do this to find samples for their sets/albums.
Discussions about "DJs" are difficult because there's a WIDE range of skills behind what we call a DJ.
Yes, some have zero skill and will basically just show up with a pre-determined Spotify playlist. They won't even have mixing/transitions between songs.
Some are in the middle and will be able to do basic transitions between songs (ie, just simple beat matching) and know how to carry a vibe.
At the far end of the spectrum are actual composers that are effectively making new mixes of songs on the fly.
And so you have the problem where someone says "Being a DJ takes a lot of skill" because they're thinking of the last category, while the person hearing that message replies with "How does it take skill to just press Play?" because they're thinking of the first.
The bigger concern is that we've steadily been going from a circa 4:1 ratio of worker to non-worker to closer to 2:1 ratio. For an economic system based on workers paying the way for non-workers that is toxic. We've royally screwed up immigration, which could have helped, so all we have left is hoping for a hail mary huge productive boost or might as well shut up shop and figure out a new model
Healthcare employment’s guaranteed to keep rising until they’ve soaked up all the would-be inheritance from the Boomers.
Millennials are a large cohort, too, so it may stay steadily high for a good long while after that, after perhaps a small dip for X. Depends how much money they have for the healthcare sector to scoop up. Savings-at-same-age has been really bad for them relative to boomers, so we’ll see. May see healthcare employment shrink even as need (sans the dollars to back it up) grows, next time a demographic “lump” gets old.
Not sure why they bundled education and healthcare together. As far as higher education is concerned, the job market is terrible. Many state universities have hiring freeze as they are tightening belts due to the lost NSF and NIH fundings.
Bring your whole self to work, at this point, is the term you use to criticize this policy, not to describe it.
Maternity leave is a version of BYWSTW. As are PRIDE/ethnicity related activities as work. Should we jettison those?
I agree it can and is taken to far, but I'd prefer to read an article about actually navigating an office with different types of real people. For example, for example, thermostats preferences, volume preferences, "we a family/team" vs "just a job" preferences, etc.
Reminds me of a demo I played 10 years ago called swap box turbo. Designed for two players, it is a simple platformer where you and your partner swap positions and momentum every 3 seconds.
You can play it single player too and have an experience similar to this.
To be clear VTI is only US stocks and VEU is everything else. It is confusing because "Vanguard Total Stock Market" contains only United States equities.
Honestly not sure anymore.
