@ The first two posts, by Yuki and Intex: I agree with you.
I'm not sure what that means when I agree with both of you, in the same thread, at the same time, but there you go.
Don't be surprised if I later chalk it up to a stroke I don't yet realize I had.

There are many factors that contribute to all these job market problems. Until people are willing to bbq a few sacred cows it won't change.

Sacred cows like lower taxes for capital gains than working income?  |

How any of this relates to this thread about youth unemployment I don't know.
Well Yuki, you are doing exactly what you accused me of doing - bitching about something you're unwilling to actually DO something about. That's how it relates. I'm sorry if you don't think you should have to follow the standards you propose for others, but that's how it goes.

I didn't say you couldn't bitch about something without doing anything about it. I said it was kinda gross to wallow in some guy's misfortune to make an ideological point when you clearly don't actually care about him as evidenced by the fact you are not going to actually do anything.  |

Really? Hmm...

I'm sad but not surprised that we've established you're going to do nothing about this situation at all besides use it as a prop for your whining on an internet messageboard.
So... I'll ask again:
What are you DOING about this issue yourself Yuki? It's kind of gross that you're wallowing in these folks' misfortune to make some ideological point when you clearly don't actually care about them as evidenced by by the fact that you are not going to actually do anything.

There was a similar trend going on where I worked. They hired virtually no full time workers after around 2000. All part-timers. It was pretty stupid, actually. Yes, they saved a bit on benefits, but, there was constant turn over as the part timers would leave as soon as they got a full time job somewhere else. When I left there were people who had been there 15+ years and people who had been there 3 years or less and not many in between.

This is becoming embarassing to watch. How am I wallowing in anything? If anything the post was about the macroeconomic effects of not hiring youth 20 years down the road, not about crying crocodile tears for the kids who don't have jobs.

I agree. It must be very embarrassing for you to have the inanity of your own statements thrown back in your face.
