  • Just lie. There is absolutely nothing unethical about lying about timeframes on your resume.

    Looking for a job after being made redundant, but still in good standing with your former coworker or manager? Just say you still work there.

    Otherwise they’ll have way more leverage when it comes to salary negotiation.

    My friend did this when he got made redundant, landed a well paying job, after months of being unemployed.

    You have no reason to have a gap on your resume because you’ll be unfairly punished for it.

    Just lie. It’s 100% ethical.



  • Even under our current capitalist model, I think there are practically no benefits for privatisation of necessities. (Management of each being equal, that is. People pointing to “government inefficiency” are naive to think there aren’t just as many private orgs who run very inefficiently.)

    What’s the point of having energy transmission private? I can’t well plug in a different network. I’m stuck with one, and then have to do a stupid dance with the retailers who “compete”.

    What’s the point of having the airport be privately owned? It’s not like we have much of a choice of which airport to fly out of.

    What’s the point of paying private schools with government money? That’s just money that could have been spent on public schools.

    All of which we have to pay cost + profit. Instead of just cost.

    The list goes on.

    Privatisation is stupid.














  • I’m still really unsure why some socialists have decided that because China carries the flag of socialism, that it means they’re automatically good at everything, ever. And everything bad about it is western propaganda.

    I’m a socialist, hell, I even like China in many regards, much more than many of my fellow Australians.

    But damn, why so many people on Lemmy.ml stanning for them? Makes no sense.

    That being said, much of the infrastructure they have, is indeed nice (all the massive amounts of coal we sell them, notwithstanding).

    But there are a bunch of inefficiencies and issues.

    Ya know, like any other country.

    China isn’t a utopia, it’s a place, with good and bad points.
