My money’s on this. But: tldr; if city workers know he’s trying to do good, and find out old money is fucking with him, his support will strengthen in a way we’ve not seen in a long time.

So, having worked for the city years ago, I also know it’s a system full of people he was directly talking to with affordability. They’re on-board with him, if he starts delivering the goods in a public way. Ways to get good food for cheap for everyone, raising wages, getting a cap on crime and helping the homeless. That’s all people want.

With that in mind, if it is revealed that even a couple of billionaires is working to trash those efforts in a coordinated manner, suddenly the people of NYC have both a guy trying to do right by them, and a powerful enemy to rally against. There aren’t enough cops to deal with people dropping bricks off rooftops, every street becomes a potential ‘interaction’… think a version of “the warriors”, but it’s regular folks vs the recognized billionaires. Heh, one can dream, anyway.

What’ll happen, ultimately? I dunno. But the ingredients for something special are in place.

Sorry you experienced that. I hope there’s something to eventually counter all that you’ve dealt with.

Universe doesn’t care, but we do.

I have 4mbps down, 3 up. But I only pay $10/mo.

Using the same wiki you’ve linked, notice the word “accreditation” as key to the concept of a professional degree, with which you’ll then note all engineers who graduate in the US must be. Yes, all. ABET is our accreditation body. Thus, we are professional by your own definition.

Beyond that, one can also be licensed, but that is already in addition to already being an accredited professional by way of at least an accredited baccalaureate.

Finally, I’m going to be a little rude here, this example of useless pedantry is particularly why I left academia with prejudice. It’s been nice educating you on these unimportant minutea, take care.

I still think all engineering is professional, as is nursing etc. Electronic, mechanical, computer, all of em.

Look man, just go by the agreed-upon definition of the word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/professional

This is an absolutely horrible test/explanation.

I’m a state-licensed engineer, a professional engineer…

Even if your other points were valid, this has direct impact on people’s income for years after they graduate.

I’ll go further and point out that in general, we need art as well as science, not one vs the other.

E: No dude, look at how the word is defined: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/professional, licensed or not, engineering or any degree requiring training is professional.

It has also been reported that engineering, a business master’s, counseling or therapy, and speech pathology will not be considered “professional” either.

Engineering is not professional? What a laughable sack of shit. We’re going to have a lot of work ahead to undo this damage.

I look forward to improving our systems better than they’d previously been when trump and project 2025 showed up.

Supposedly neuros are more sensitive to being just and fair as well.

I’ve been on the receiving end of some bullshit when I was young, and really don’t like seeing that kinda nonsense happen to others if it’s undeserved.

Sigh preach my friend 😬

If you want to see one example of the dreck these idiots are following regarding disabled or ‘unskilled’ people, check this wack shit out:

As Delegate of San Francisco, what should you do with these people? I think the answer is clear: alternative energy. Since wards are liabilities, there is no business case for retaining them in their present, ambulatory form. Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.

Yarvin follows with a “just kidding”, but is he??? Why is every other part of that shitty manifesto stated seriously, but this one thing is a joke???

See ya, fuckhead!

Read my comment again, bud.

Typical jersey, always gotta be the center of attention. 😂

10 bucks says a lot of that was bum-ass east jersey Staten island.

I disagree. I think having everyone send their federal taxes to a state entity for leverage purposes would be an interesting development. The individual is protected, and the state holds the bag.

Cool stuff. I’m not a photographer but some of the effects in that community are really interesting.

Fuck ICE & trump, I hope they and their families burn and die in a car fire.

Too harsh? I don’t give a shit.

I think that’s a very reductionist opinion that ignores @pirate2377@lemmy.zip trying to honestly interact with you.

Stop being a prick, it doesn’t get you anywhere.

Notice I didn’t say that either. Good reading skills, chump.
