This is all good and optimistic but is a little bit in denial of the currently reality.

I don't think it's super surprising news to anyone and most people have done everything you've mentioned and are still struggling to get a job so it seems a little cruel to place the blame on them when the market is gone.

The 'weekend' is not enough time to switch a career.

A university undergrad takes 1460 days.

With 100 weekend days a year it would take 14 years to achieve that. That's assuming you don't take a single day off for 14 years.

You're gaslighting the poor dude.

Everyone else appears to have been schmoozing with lead dev's and mangers and meeting up to get their QPPs together.I've never worked at a job with QPP's or that I've had to schmooze to get work. I've typically just grabbed tickets or my boss would give me something to work on.Do you all have to schmooze to get...

If it's so plain and clear, please post the evidence that lockdowns prevented hospitals from being overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, in Texas all Covid restrictions were lifted in March... and no co-oresponding surge in infections were recorded, infections decrease to record lows actually..only 16% had received first dose of vaccine, TX was 48th in vaccination rates.

Florida and other states had similar results when they lifted restrictions.

From here the evidence appears to be in favor of lockdowns having no effect.
