I can give some credence to the claim. I work for TeeJet a subset of Spray Systems and we design and manufacture application technology for the AG industry:
"At TeeJet Technologies our single focus is on application technology. Our company and our products have been part of agricultural applications since the first crop protection products came onto the market in the 1940's. Our control systems date back to some of the earliest in-field uses of electronics in agriculture. This experience in the fields of spraying, fertilizing, and seeding means nobody is better suited to provide quality products and technical solutions for your business."
I feel Activation should be held legally accountable for this decision. Perhaps, if they want to support the CCP, they should not be allowed to do business here in America.
This article comes off as an anti-western propaganda piece. No mention of any of the serious problems China has or what Chinese Millennials think about them. Imho, the article seems to suggest that prior to Millennials substantial progress was being made on any and all relative fronts and now progress has become stagnant. However, I believe that in reality, all of the problems Millennials are facing were generated by previous generations. So is the author just frustrated that these Millennials aren't fixing all of his generations mistakes?
Well I think it's obvious why he cares... his children are trying to reach him. As for guaranteeing a specific number of children, no I don't believe they would be able to do that. However, I think the problem is not that they can not guarantee a specific number of children. The problem is that they guaranteed a specific number of woman who would be impregnated with his sperm but have gone well beyond the number they gave him.
It is rather disgusting the effects on a culture which has been torn and conquered by another outside culture. The question now, how do we deal with the present situation regardless of what happened in the past? The fact of the matter is, there is no going back. Honestly, I believe any attempts at salvaging that past is only going to hinder progress for those living in the present.
The commonality isn't higher altitude it is an invasion by a foreign culture who forces it's way of living on an otherwise independent and self sustaining culture.
I don't think the author did enough research here. I think the article misrepresented and undercut the value of trade schools. For instance, it is perfectly possible to become a welder without attending college. In fact, the standard method is to simply start an apprenticeship and work up from their much like a plumber or electrician.
Also, it completely disregards the fact that most experienced tradesmen eventually go into business for themselves as independent contractors. However, since an independent contractor files as a business owner and not a welder (or electrician or what-have you) they would no longer contribute to the statistics for their actual trade.
Overall I would give this article and its author a 5/10 in terms of quality... not really worth reading imho.
Honestly, I wish cigarettes were illegal and the same goes for e-cigarettes. Neither is needed by society and one for sure brings nothing but pain and misery to the masses. Had they been illegal I wouldn't be dealing with a 17 year long addiction problem.
Is this any wonder with how incredibly expensive things are getting? In a year, in my state, I make 2x as much as the average single person and I am struggling to save money. These other single persons must be living in complete squalor. Most of my extra money goes to student loans but even without them I wouldn't exactly be raking in the $. I would probably only be saving around 18k per year. I have no debt outside of student loan debt and I live with roommates. I honestly don't understand how they are surviving.
I would have sold that by now. I guess he thinks the price will only increase over time? I think the opposite is true... I think twitter is on the way out.
Unless you are a certified engineer in your state... you know, one who has a degree in engineering and has passed the respective FE and PE, then this is sort of like the pot calling the kettle black. I would suggest you: "Choose your words with more precision."
Who is this modern man and where can I find a compilation of his opinions and assumptions about stoicism? Why should I care about stoicism and why does this article make me feel like my personal choice to not act like a nancy every time I stub my toe mean I am doing something wrong?
"My brother smoked heavily during his teens and as a result developed schizophrenia / substance induced psychosis." - that is a statement of fact so.. apparently not.
Personally, I have zero faith in my governments ability to run the country. There isn't a single person in Washington who I would trust with my car keys let alone my welfare. I do however realize how lucky I was to be born in the USA and love my country despite all the people in it XD
Great, so now on top of all the other $#!% farmers have to deal with they also need to be concerned their going to get blood cancer. So what is the suggested alternative? Farmers can't just not use weed killer. They need an effective weed killer and it has to be cheap.
I actually learned a bit about how eyes work from this short little article, all I will ever need to know anyhow. It certainly doesn't represent the worst kind of science journalism. I bet I could think of (at least) 4 or 5 worse kinds of science journalism.
