great theory. i'm still stuck on 'them' learning how to mine coal.
a lot of our coal miners quit school early to work in the coal mines to help their families survive. when they shut down the coal mines, THEY all knew damn well that most of those coal miners weren't educated enough to go into the TECH world, and not one of those POS had sympathy for these people. i remember, learn how to code. F them. i hope they have to work the coal mines when Trump opens everything back up.
and i hope that some of these old coal miners end up being 'their' bosses. i don't think these coal miners will give one F about their feelz.
Coal mining as punishment? Nah. It'sa proud tradition that is blue collar real Joe work that's passed from father to son in many many cases. Everyone that actually knows mining folk, knows that. Sorry if i misunderstood your sentiment. I am just touchy about class conciousness.
i understand about the class consciousness and that is why i posted what i posted.
these people are very proud and hard working people only to be, belittled at the worst times of their lives (to have their work shut down by the very government they pay taxes to) and have those people tell them they need to learn how to code.
i only have an associates degree and i am in no way putting the coal miners and their families down. i was stating that a lot of people in those situations quit school early so they can help keep the family afloat.
most of these blue haired morons wouldn't even pick up a shovel to plant a plant, little alone do it for 8-10-12 hours a day.
i think you misunderstood my empathy for the coal miners and my distain for the the blue haired, not knowing what gender they are, crowd.
It's unfair the way the market behaves in this world. You only have time to think about your gender if you are living with so much insulation and material support that you have to seek a vacation in victimhood. Blue hair marks one as privileged. Carries social cache and displays a lack of desperation.Homeless people and miners dont have the time or money or inclination to stand out from the majority and these dyed kids take it all for granted. You already know.
The "let them eat code" kind of comment is ipso facto not a serious position. I have three degrees in aeronautical science and have built my own programs in BASIC, FORTRAN, and Excel to do my work, but that is a far cry from major mainframe coding in languages I whose names I can't even pronounce. Not everyone can or will ever be a code maven, and it has nothing to do with a comparison to mining coal---which I also cannot do, 3 degrees notwithstanding. Never forget that it was code mavens responsible for killing 364 passengers and crew in two 737 MAX crashes. And it is code mavens who are responsible for the automatic-driving fatalities that are cropping up. Code mavens don't produce food. Code mavens do not populate the entire production chain from forests to houses, and to paper products. Or the production chain from raw materials to automobiles, airplanes, and electronics. They do busy themselves with things like A.I., which so far is an encyclopedia set masquerading as a fortune-teller.
It is an insult, to be sure, but we have to stand back and realize that it is the insult of an ignorant and arrogant asshole, who doesn't even understand coding.
You didn't. I was referring to those idiot politicians who took the attitude that for all the coal-miners put out of work, they should learn to code. And I paraphrased it with Marie Antoinette's remark about the starving Frenchment, "They have no bread? Then let them eat cake."
This does go back to the referenced X post. Do you have any objection to what I said?

> vacation in victimhood - that is gold!

tell me where did i write, "let them eat code"? what exactly are you going on about?

the quotation marks you put around, let them eat code, in my inbox, had me thinking that you were quoting what i said.
