I'm curious if anyone sends encrypted emails to gmail users, and how they do it. I just turn off encryption when sending to them.

This is brilliantly stupid

I'd even prefer "entry level" for that, because it's not skill-less, it's just easier to get without prior experience.

Even that doesn't sit totally right with me. Gotta be a better way…

Oh i guess that's true. I'm not sure what my point was. I guess political/party economists? But maybe they're not informed by actual economists.

It seems like there is a disconnect between what I hear politicians talking about vis what the journals say

Sorry I topic drifted a bit. I wasn't actually thinking of that. I was under the impression that things were going very poorly even before tariffs.

I'd be fine with that if it was for some grand project, like reversing climate change or wiping out global poverty, but it's not.

Yeppp. Also makes me really distrust mainstream economists, because somehow these crashes always come as a surprise.

Like what we're doing is not working. We need to try something else

Total sidebar: You should re-read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when you turn 42!

That's what I did. Now I'll never forget the last time I read the series.

I forgive you your autism lol, I was raised very similarly especially because I had three sporty sisters (much sportier than I was).

Everyone should cultivate their own strengths and learn their own weaknesses.

That's what happens if you remove sex barriers for work. For instance, most people could not be firefighters regardless of their sex or hormonal makeup. In fact most men do not have what it takes to be a firefighter. But some men do, and some women also do. And most importantly, these men and women have the drive and motivation to become good at it.

I'm not even saying there are the same amount of qualified candidates between men and women, but there are enough in both groups that it makes sense not to limit applications along lines of sex or gender.
