Here is Andrea Tantaros, one of the however-many hosts of Fox News'The Five, showing a chart of the historically horrid unemployment rates for the 18-24 year old demographic and proceeding to make one of those savvy counterintuitive arguments that earn her the big bucks: "I've argued once that maybe the economic downturn was the best thing to happen to them because then they weren't...
You'd kind of hope that most employers would realize that it might make sense to make an adjustment for people graduating into an historically terrible jobs market. The point is, though, that your job skills development is deferred and people assume you start to forget your education (FSM knows I couldn't solve a Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem any more, let alone a path integral).
It&#039;s been pointed out over and over again, when new college graduates hit a horrific employment marketplace like we&#039;ve had for the past four years, their careers <em>never recover</em>. They will never make up for the earnings shortfall during these bad times. There&#039;s nothing good, and absolutely nothing remotely close to the &quot;best thing&quot;, about it.
Yesterday I heard The Silly Savage seriously state that because a prominent climate change skeptic had changed his position and concluded, based on the available evidence, that humans are having an adverse effect on our planet, that his actions proved the science remains unsettled.
This, according to Savage, is &quot;The Scientific Method.&quot; Now, he did fuzz it up a bit with some snide remarks about grant funding - not realizing, or not acknowledging, this gentleman&#039;s study was paid for by the Koch Brothers.
There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your bike, the water, the ass-chaps, and the whole barge, and I&#039;ll spare your lives. Just walk away and we&#039;ll give you a safe passageway in the wastelands. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.
&ldquo;I&#039;ve argued once that maybe slavery was the best thing to happen to blacks because then they weren&rsquo;t&hellip; so&hellip; everybody gets to be equal&quot;

Yes, Andrea, we&#039;ve heard your arguments before. Just <i>slightly</i> different.
&#039;Everyone getting a trophy&#039; leads to a dangerously high self-esteem which makes one unwilling to take the soul-crushing, low paying jobs our 21st century economy depends on. Learning the values of &#039;keeping your nose to the grindstone&#039; and &#039;shutting the fuck up&#039; is better for society (of managers and owners) as well.

If that isn&#039;t a Catch Me if You Can reference, it should be.
gross.
In fact, now it&#039;s on the internet. As is the fact that she is a heartless cunt.

If only knowing stuff was a qualification to get on tv... *sigh*

Still, the mind reeled.
Delorean went out of business, which totally ruins the feasibility of this option anyway.
