I suppose i price everything in dollars...
I just listen to whatever Lyn Alden is on. That means I don't have to listen to podcasts daily, and it's going to be something that I personally find to he educational and interesting
Maybe the common theme is that we all have thick enough skin. There's some real assholes around here, and it's a small community.
Being a fresh face was a little intimidating for me at first. I'm just some random asshole and SN is full of incredibly smart people. Under those circumstances, it doesn't take a whole lot of abuse to feel like you aren't welcome here.
I'm guessing it's a pretty individual thing. I would be interested to see results of some sort of survey though. I would happily spend time filling one out, although stackers do love their anonymity so good luck getting a lot of participants.
For me personally, it's a combination. I have a lot to learn, and there's some really good teachers here. Combined with the fact that I like tedium. Owning a territory and tracking a bunch of shit in a spreadsheet falls right into my wheelhouse as far as hobbies go.
I'm technically on the border of really old millennial, or really young Gen X.
I literally have nothing in common with the average millennial, I claim Gen X and I'll happily argue that '81 counts.
While the term "Millennial" is often used for those born from 1981 to 1996, the year 1981 is considered a "cusp" year, with some sources placing it as the last year of Gen X and others as the first year of the Millennial generation, according to Pew Research. Those born in 1981 might identify with either generation, depending on their experiences and the specific criteria used.
I'm too weird to be an NPC. Also, I feel like I never do things the way I'm supposed to, and everything just works out in the end either way.
Well, there were like 19 to 20 million manufacturering jobs in 1980 compared to 12 million now. Also, for every manufacturing jobs created, roughly 2.2 jobs are supported.
I'm not sure what actually counts as Dutch disease, but there's a major sector in this country that's obviously suffering.
Exporting the dollar has definitely impacted manufacturing in this country. It's the driving force behind the trade deficit, so I suppose it fits the description. Manufacturing has been taking a beating since the 80s
