@xenon said in Vox on the Great Mismatch between employers and job seekers:

I read that many of them left Haiti for South and Central America in 2010 after that earthquake, but economic conditions have worsened in those places. Also heard the cartels were bussing them to the Texas border.
@george-k said in The "Justice for J6" rally in DC:
Seems like only yesterday that we were being told that this would be the second assault on our democracy.
Wait...it was yesterday, LOL.
Yes, it's so comforting when idiocy is specifically not lionized.
There's hope yet.
