  • America is so great we privatized taxes

    Jump

  • I basically agree. Those are actually insurance, and serve a purpose. Health "Insurance" isn't insurance at all really...

  • Why do you want this job?

    Jump

  • As you get more and more specialized, this starts to change. If my expertise is selling matts for large cranes, then there are like 3 companies that do that. The companies themselves are no special, but your expertise in that area does have a special alignment with what that company wants to do.

    Non-specialized positions, again, make this question worthless.

  • I think good answers, in this case, are more than "I'm passionate about x". A specific scenario where you were really interested in a specific scientific question related to the job at hand would be much better. Again, useful if you're going to be an engineer at Tesla, not useful for a cashier at Taco Bell.

  • Absolutely agree.

  • If you mean specifically health insurance.... yeah this is spot on.

    I think it's more complicated for other kinds of insurance though.

  • As I say every time I see this joke, it's a stupid question when McDonald's asks it, but a good when when more advanced or complex jobs ask it. A person who is passionate about science is a better candidate for a job at an engineering firm than someone who isn't. Plus, the question, done right, is asking "why this specific company" rather than why do you want any job. "Why FLIR instead of Tesla?" is a very different question than "why McDonald's instead of Burger King".

  • Support for Third U.S. Political Party Up to 63%

  • I think it's a good idea to separate the politicians and party leaders from the rank-and-file members.

    The organization knows what it is they are doing. But the members.... I think of lot of them are just completely deceived in various ways about various things.

    So when someone says "republicans want a dictatorship" it can be true in one sense, and nonsense in another.

  • Greenland women demand compensation for forced contraception

  • I wouldn't say they were taken care of in this case....

    But regardless, that's a hardly an amount that would prevent someone from trying to do this again.

  • That's helpful to know, but man, that's hardly fair compensation for such a terrible thing.

  • They're only asking for 38,000? Seems really low...

  • Absolutely! But to accuse them wanting a dictatorship will only drive them further into the deception, because they aren't lying when they say they don't want it, despite them supporting a path towards it.

    Accusing a person of lying when they are not willing always get a strong reaction against you because they believe they are morally right and you are lying to them.

  • In supporting trump, they support someone who would gladly take that role if he could. I agree.

    But the contradiction is deep within themselves not just held for outsiders to see. They aren't lying when they say they support democracy and say they support trump at the same time. They're contradicting themselves, but they aren't lying. I don't know why that happens, but I guess they have been deceived.

    But it's important to have that distinction, otherwise we dehumanize millions of people, and destroy hope of showing them the truth.

  • I can agree that Trump and those like him are moving towards that kind of power structure.

    And yes that means that those who support trump and deny that want a dictatorship and at some level contradicting themselves.

    But that is a different thing tham actually wanting a dictatorship.

    Misrepresenting people will get us no where. It will dehumanize those we disagree with and will create enemies from those who could be allies.

  • If by conservatives you mean Americans who describe themselves as conservatives.... that's a ridiculous claim. I don't think I've ever met a Republican who openly wanted a dictator. I'm sure they exist, but it's not the majority view within Republican voters.

    If you mean something else, please define what you mean by conservative.

  • That's very true. But, it's something that appears to be way more common that it uses to be.
