    well first of all a lot of the entry level coding jobs are already outsourced overseas, secondly it takes a certain kind of dysfunctional autist to learn code and put in the hours required for the job, and just in general it's 100% elitist ignorant to think coal miners and JC penny cashiers will be able to learn to code and get a job doing it, it's completely out of touch with the people it's directed at
    Are you saying they aren't intelligent enough to learn a new skill? They should all take up welding instead. Can't outsource that and ironwork is pretty good business.

    From my experience in retail both in management and not, I can tell you that the overwhelming majority of cashiers over the age of 20 fall in to one of two categories, too lazy or too stupid for anything else.

    If the skill is coding, I wouldn't put it so bluntly but most likely yes. I'm all for trades that can't be outsourced that is more realistic for miners at least.

    Who exactly is going to hire these codemonkeys when they can get rakeesh to code for a buck fifty? I don't know about welding because the kungflu rekt them pretty hard, 3 of my former clients already lost their biz. I do know for a fact, however, that they'd rather hire illegals with 5+ years of experience than someone with a 6 month certificate.

    Anyway, apparently prop. 16 (would restore affirmative action) was rejected in cali. Hows that lol.

    If you're gonna used a racist stereotype of an Indian person's name, at least use one that 1 of the 1.5 billion people in India actually have.

    Racists aren't smart. Kind of a prerequisite to being racist

    Anyway I imagine this is how Tyche and his wife stared at each other while high

    Certain kind of autist? Dude...it's 2020. Learning code is not that fucking hard and does not require autism to any degree. You're not writing in Fotran or COBOL.

    It's also not elitist...the fuck are you talking about. Why would they not be able to learn code? Are you saying they are too stupid to learn basic coding? That sounds pretty fucking elitist to me. Yes, a 55yr old coal worker is probably not gonna be jumping on board to learn coding, but a 25-33yr old coal worker could easily grasp the concepts and be educated in coding.

    I was 22 when I started to learn to code, working a retail job while going to community college. Now I’m doing game development for a pretty well known company in the U.S. It’s not impossible, but certainly not for everyone.

    No coal miners since coal isn't an upstate NY thing but plenty of leather mill workers. I also worked in a leather mill myself and a ton of retail jobs. Why do you think blue collar workers are stupid?

    lol you don't just say "Well go learn to code bitch"...you actually show them resources and help them along. Fund the government programs to do that.
