The fundamental problem here is that it took a CBC investigation to bust the cache. These data should be constantly invalidated.

If job boards were in the business of matching job seekers to open positions, yes.

That’s not how they make money though. They make money by selling listings.

Same mistake that people make about journalism (including journalists). The amount of news reported is a function of ads sold.

Am I misremembering that Ontario recently passed some laws regarding job posting transparency?

More shocking is, some non-fake postings also turn out to be result of company internal politics and not really to hire someone. They do conduct interviews, but don't select anyone. They probably want to have unfilled positions as a justification for all their failures or for some other mysterious reason.

60% of the internet is now bots, We can come to the conclusion that Silicon Valley is one big grift of companies funded by corrupt VCs and Ad revenue.

Maybe I'm old fashioned. In my opinion people who prey on others who are desperate looking for food/job, and who prey on elderly/kids/disabled, are the lowest scum.

It no longer works that way. Scumminess is now directly defined by how much money you don't have. The more money you have, the less scummy you are.

As a parent of two young boys, I am seriously confused in what values I should teach them. I am defaulting to traditionally "good" values because that's how I was raised and all I know. But there's a part of me that feels my kids will be at a disadvantage when they grow up, if they carry my values.

religion used to promise a heaven for those who did good, and hell for those who do evil

life taught me that living well grants you admission to heaven here while you're alive, while committing things society still considers sin makes you live through hell right here on earth

cant imagine how much better/worse it gets if theres more after death

nah even ignoring religion, there was this story of if you work hard study hard listen to your parents and your teachers and people of authority you will generally wind up more-or-less okay (not rich! just _okay_, and that's okay).

It's not that confusing to be good to people by default,but look out for your self and not be a sucker?

Unless you mean life skills to survive corporate culture. Then you just look out for your self,but give the impression you care lol. None of it's real relationships anyway

"A virtue is something that is valuable even if it gives you nothing. A virtue persists without payment or compensation. Positive thinking is great. Vital. Useful. But it has to remain so even if it gets you nothing. Belief, truth, honor … if these exist only to get you something, you’ve missed the storming point." - Kaldin Stormblessed

As a parent of two young boys I've had the same concerns, but I would rather have them grow up to be men of virtue in poverty that can go to bed at night with a clear conscience than the most powerful man in the world without integrity.

I take this to mean my negative-karma comments are at least virtuous

This does crack me up though...

I've got a friend, who is on SSDI due to mental and physical health issues. And yes, they are real. I've known this friend for 20 years, they are a good person, but they have serious challenges integrating into society between past trauma and the MH/PH problems.

Her sister often 'borrows'[0] from her food stamps or SSDI income to pay for her own shit. Her sister's husband gets a new car every 1-2 years, charges his wife (the sister) and their daughter rent every month, and votes in a specific way because 'people are scamming away our tax dollars'.

IOW, "You're right but it's curious to look at the people who think that and how they pose"

[0] - Often without properly repaying

Please report this to the attorney general.

The money for those payments is taken from me, from all taxpayers, under threat of violence from the government.

Who depends on LinkedIn for finding a job anyway?

Seriously, this platform is a big shitshow - lots of premium profiles posting AI-polished or AI-generated posts, corporate bootlickers, cringe posts, messages from random recruiters who didn't even bother to read your description.

at first I was just going to say that screenshot of McCovy looks like a cringey amateur rap video but zooming in I see his eyes and I'm unsettled, distracted
