As far as the troll mills go everyone forgot the adage from the olden days "don't feed the trolls".

Now everyone feeds the trolls.

Having gone to job fairs recently I found them to be pretty useless.

I got one lead where the guy gave me the link for good candidates and all the others were useless.

what changed? no one uses it.

the west made a deal with the devil for cheap plastic trinkets and reaped what it sowed. that's why switching the manufacturing to India won't do any good either.

domestic production or nothing. the "service economy" is a stupid concept.

does it change hands? when was the last time you actually used a penny to buy something? do you ever deposit your pennies into your bank account?

most people throw them in a change jar and forget about them.

This is one of the stupidest comments I have seen on the internet bar none. Wasting money is bad. I should not have to explain further.

to my knowledge the legislation only says that the executive branch needs to make the "necessary" amount of pennies. the argument is that because they're losing money literally printing money that the "necessary" amount is zero and that therefore doing this follows the law because zero is an amount.

Society does not exist in a vacuum. Your individual actions affect others. A corporation's actions do as well.

My counterpoint is that those companies you listed do more harm than good anyhow. Advertising and data gathering, helping LLM companies train models that use more electricity than many countries, and charging outrageous interest and practicing usury.

Why would you want to work for those places?

Infrastructure projects are where it's at. Pays well and you're using your technical skills to do some good for the country for a change.

You're talking like Oxford is some school for shitdogs now.

I went to an unranked school here in Canada for electrical engineering and graduated this year. I did a couple co-ops, won a couple engineering competitions and had my EIT job lined up for me after graduation. Started work a week after classes ended.

Rankings are not the end-all be-all for uni.
