There are a lot of good comments but there is a bigger reason.

Marketing and negotiation are softer skills that many technical professionals don’t have or appreciate.

Therefore they don’t market themselves properly (make people value their contributions) nor negotiate the best package for themselves.

In my experience, technical people with those skills quickly rise past their non-technical peers.

If you have those skills, you can apply them to yourself. You can make people value your contributions enough to pay you for them. You can convince people to give you the chance to make larger contributions to the company.

If you can get that kind of experience and are technical enough to identify an emerging idea, you can convince a banker or investor to help you start a business.

I’m retired from a technical field. I know lots of folks that hold this opinion.

I have also seen excellent technologies and fortunes wasted because technological experts thought that marketing and finance weren’t important. They thought that because their technology was better than anything else, people would want it.

People are busy. Marketing is required to give people a chance to understand what they might get if they spend their time and money on your product.

Finance and leadership are needed to build and fund the human machine that is the company producing the product.

Look at all those anti-semites. /s

If the Democrats don’t win a landslide, this goes nowhere.

Vote!!!!

Trump is against releasing the Epstein files?

Weird.

“According to The Hollywood Reporter, ahead of its decision to end The Problem, Apple approached Stewart directly and expressed its need for the host and his team to be “aligned” with the company’s views on topics discussed. Rather than falling in line when Apple threatened to cancel the show, Stewart reportedly decided to walk.”

The least surprising thing possible to any Jon Stewart fan.

I can’t wait to see him on the late night shows.

This headline is technically true, but it’s complete bullshit in it’s implications.

The judge said the reason she denied bail is because he is considered a flight risk and a risk for continuing to commit crimes.

To be fair, no rich persons wealth significantly trickles down

He is not joking

He will start a war if he can

Don’t believe the naysayers. No matter which state you are in, your vote is important. Extreme Conservatives have been taking over school boards and imposing their agenda on kids.

Offices like Sheriff, Coroner, Secretary of State, Lt Governor, State Representatives, City and County Councils etc. are all important.

Every Vote Counts!!!!!

Are we going to pretend like he didn’t know?

Trigger Warning! #Trump #Epstein

To be clear this YouTube link is the testimony of a victim - Not Ghislaine.

It is really hard to watch

She graphically describes what happened:

Most girls were 13-14

Trump kept requesting her. He demanded she wear a blonde wig; he said she looked like his daughter who was also 13 at the time

Trump forcibly took her virginity

So we agree to:

1. give them $1000 for every man woman and child in the US

2. pull our military out of the Middle East

3. let them sponsor terrorism across the region

And in return, they agree to start negotiations

Are you tired of all this winning yet?

Adam Smith, who is considered to be quite the capitalist, said that it is impossible to have a free market if the participants cannot choose not to participate.

Letting Doctors use the “free market” set medical prices is not only sinful, it is not justifiable by the most originalist economic theory.

I don’t go on that shithole site, but it seems like he not just letting disinformation go wild, but banning info

Edit: Many important local races will be decided by less votes than updoots I received for this comment.

No they don’t.

Same as everyone else, they can choose between a moderate and a fascist.

Everyone has issues they don’t want moderation on. That doesn’t mean they are stupid enough to back a person who explicitly says they want to ban them.

I guess you don’t have to pay taxes in Kansas.

No taxation without representation and all.

Originalists my white hairy ass.
