Which hostile 80's job market is what helped cause former hippies to 'sell out', cut their hair, buy a suit (become a suit), and let Reagan get away with murder.

Reagan being the revenge of the Republicans for what happened to Nixon and in Vietnam; he was the proto-Trump.

Cookie cutter article. The amount of cookie cutter articles just like this written by Reps during Biden's tenure was annoying and, of course, liberals are going to stay in lockstep.

I don't know from personal experience but am willing to bet that once new grads look beyond working for Palantir / X / Meta / Google that there are plenty of coding jobs out there. This world is more about opportunity and less about conformity ...

I'm very grateful for my 2 older kids who both graduated at the same time this past May (law school and engineering) both had the jobs they wanted waiting on them to graduate.

Malarky.

There is plenty of work available in Trumpy's Republican Guard.

If you want to be an ICE hole when you grow up.

Can't they work in a factory? Manufacturing is coming back to the US.

Haven't you heard?

Because that's why parents send their kids to college.

To go work in a factory!

Everything Trumpanzee does has an 80's feel to it... It's freaky.
