DOOM: Lake District

The problem is, my dear vetran, is that the main structural issue in this (and almost all other) countries is dumb people like you.

And it’s not like you want THAT fixed.

It’s personal responsibility that you don’t like - SOMEBODY else should fix structural problems, not you, and certainly not to tax you to fund the (re-education) work, how predictable

Interesting observation - vetran did not dispute the core premise that dumb people are the key structural problem, he just disputed that he is dumb.

desperately scrabbling around trying to look like I know what I am talking about

I buy food from a supermarket how they get the food into the shop is really their and their suppliers problem. They should predict need and plan for it.

I have always funded my lifestyle and built my career to be fairly wealthy so I can pay lots of tax, I changed my business model & skills a number of times when my area of expertise got less profitable. None of this was guided by others or via support from the government. Im not a coal miner moaning after decades of closing pits they closed mine and I hadn't retrained.

As I say we were talking about EU workers fight back in 2016/17 and subsequently in 2018/19 at another employer. We knew we as a company had hired them over locals because they were cheaper and more biddable. Brexit was going to cut this cheap labour off. I was in the SARS planning session back in the noughties, many of the Covid issues were discussed and planned for however later employers had no planning. We joke that what drove our digital transformation was more covid than CIO.

I fix structural problems daily but I don't work for the RHA so I expect them to do their fecking job on their own.

I fix structural problems daily

Fixing multiple STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS ... daily?




Yeah, for sure, as we all know structural problems are very easy and very quick to fix, part of your 5 a day.

Does this mean you are doing your HGV test soon, as that's a very profitable business right now, due to the (in)decisions the government and their lackeys ?

Strangely I was talking to a mate last week. He fixes lorries for a living (fairly well paid) he is doing his cpc so he can moonlight driving lorries.

I have only changed when my career is doomed, I can either develop my career or increase my salary significantly. Lorry driving even at current elevated wages would be a significant cut for a skilled professional like me.

If you think £40-50k for a 70 hour week hanging around truck stops is a lot of money you need to stop working for NLyUK.

not it doesn't which is why we need to fix the structural issues in our country.

The main structural issue is that for decades public services and private industry have been allowed to rely on cheap labour from overseas, and neglected training and technical advances that would increase productivity.

Indeed but sadly some people on here can't understand that.
