I don't drink or smoke, and I still manage to blow through any money I get. If people aren't buying games, they're buying food. Every article I've read says that young people spend more on food than people older.

Misleading title. They got laid off from X and rehired by Y. Devs earn six figures, one of the best paid departments in a bideo gaym company they are not poor. Remember this when you weep that Britney got fired from EA only to be hired by Sony for example.

Layoffs doesn't necessarily mean less money coming in, it may just mean the same money in fewer hands that are less likely to have been the hands that did the actual work that brought in the money. At least that's been true with other big waves of layoffs elsewhere.

I can't help but think this is gaslighting. If I remember correctly, in the past, it was normal to drop a majority of the development team once a title shipped. Is it possible this is still the case, but zoomers have the mentality that a dream job is a human right, especially when the garnered huge student debt?

Layoffs always are big news but the rehiring never gets reported on unless you follow smalltime dev accounts. They keep firing them to not have to pay them better with actual benefits.

What? It's just a symptom of the massive development cycle. These games take 7 years and you don't need certain categories of people the entire time so you cut them and they go hop on some other behemoth aaa project. It's a disgusting waste of resources that could be used to make several much smaller projects within a single company more efficiently but it's what companies seem to have collectively decided is worth pursuing.

you get better quality and less scams. The problem with hiring in the third world, most of it, is that your employees and foreign branches can simply scam you, and then disappear into the ether without returning a single cent.

India gets so much work because despite being the scam capital of planet Earth, their government takes some steps to stop fly-by-night operations from scamming the larger corpos. But if you're a smaller game studio, trying to navigate it would be like really believing the voice on the other end of a random phone call really is from Microsoft and you really do have a virus that requires installing TeamViewer to get rid of. That's why most companies simply outsource instead of opening branches.
>>
>>733602869
I used to never see Indian people where I live. I didnt know a single Indian person, not even a 2nd or 3rd generation Indian American.
Over the last couple of years basically every single cashier/food service/retail worker I’ve had to interact with has been an Indian. There’s a Walmart near me that used to be staffed with Mexicans who could barely speak English and middle aged disabled people. It’s literally all Indians now who just scowl at you and keep walking if you try to ask them where something is.
>>
>>733606910
My pet theory is it's a combination of overconfidence and survivorship bias. A smart person sees the way the wind is blowing and doesn't commit to some 10% chance all or nothing gamble, while a dumbass does. But one in ten of those dumbasses end up getting lucky and do better than the smartass, and so float to a high enough position that it's all failing upwards from there as long as you have social skills.

>Over the last couple of years basically every single cashier/food service/retail worker I’ve had to interact with has been an Indian.
That's how it works, a single indian just has to become regional general manager and then he will replace all employees at all stores everywhere with his friends, family, and anyone in his caste who can afford a green card. It just takes one reaching management to hollow a whole company out. None of them will ever admit to it because they work for pocket lint just to have a green card.

They live in their own little language bubbles. A little india hive somewhere, where they have control over a little bit of property, they'll cram 50 Indians into a flat, claim there are only 4 living there for tax reasons, when it breaks down and disintegrates, they'll rent it out as "lightly used" and move on to the next hive. This is usually owned by a slumlord who looks the other way or is part of their caste.

Call me crazy but I believe that while the h1b is a problem it is less of a problem as the gigantic corporations that get to pump prices and never bring them down.
For example, tariffs increased the price of everything, now that those ones have been declared illegal, they get to sue for their money back in taxes while we just have to eat it. And tariffs are reinstated anyways under a different clause to keep the prices at the same high. This is one example of many.

I never said this. Each test would be unique to each field/job. Someone who wants to be a doctor isn’t gonna take an engineering test. They’d take a test centered around their field and job.
If they fail, their can wait 1, maybe 2 years to retake it. Or to take another test for a similar job. And each test would also be more than just multiple choice and essays from school. You’d also have to show your on job skills, with any dangerous activities being done with dummies.

And yes, employee work should be measured. It’s very easy for employers to make shit up during performance reviews since performance isn’t standardized.
The only reason you’d ever be against it is if you either are an employer who makes up bullshit, or the lazy employee.
Keep in mind that if you are slightly below average a few days, you’ll still be safe since you need to underperform badly multiple days to be fired.

travel. everyone does tourism now, a few decades ago the idea of travelling was significantly less popular. now everything is highly over-tourismed to hell and back. look at japan: in 2009 only 6 million people visited japan. in 2025, 43 million people visited japan. lots of other countries are seeing similar increases. zoomers LOVE to travel.

I made 6. Plain. No bun. Just sugar-free ketchup and mustard. Also some brewed unsweetened Luzianne tea, which is a luxury item I indulge in.

This is my dinner because it's the only protein I can afford regularly. Food is crazy expensive right now.

I sure as hell am not buying video games.

>We seriously need to fix this usury issue in the west
If we stopped usury, our GDP would drop by like 95%.
Do you have any idea how bad that would be for us?
I think interest rates and payment plans being a little bit harsher might help though.

Video games are a massive market still that rakes in billions, even in its decayed state. The problem is that the need for progressively more profit and growth to increase shareholder dividends has exceeded the total size of the market, the only way to increase profit by that point is to downsize. In other words, contraction stage.

I'm not wholly unsympathetic to the people being laid off, they may be hyper-liberal ideologues, but that's because that's what they were taught to be. Enough people have been laid off that they could go and start their own small studios and make indie and AA games, there's no future in AAA, and anyone still in a AAA studio should be using it as a networking opportunity.

Yeah, usury is a good thing, it makes the nation strong by giving smart people heaps of money from the poor.

Your nation is backsliding into fascistic despotism as we speak, not even as a pecularity of the current administration, just generally for the last 80 years to compensate for increasing discontent. Usury does not make a nation strong, when the dollar value was still attached to gold, the negative effects were manageable. Nixon decoupling the dollar from gold caused an inflationary spike of over a thousand percent, and it's still climbing. This shit destroys countries by selling the future to enrich the present, and it's only a matter of time until those poor people, as you put it, are so poor they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by throwing the so-called smart people on pyres.

But I get it, you're just baiting for (You)s, and you're getting them.
>>
>>733627070
The GDP is higher than ever, if usury was bad, that would not be possible.
Money taken from the unworthy, and given to their superiors makes for a stronger longer lasting nation.

Like most things sports betting is just another form of proof that anything degenerate or evil can be wrapped into a aesthetically socially acceptable package to make it palatable for general society, this includes drugs, gambling, rape, pedophillia etc. I've realized that most people's morals actually stem from social cohesion/brow beating rather than truly believing something is morally bad. Unfortunately the idea of having genuine principles to stand on seems to be a relatively dead concept and exploitation of the general population has become much more complex and sinister.

They filled companies with women who had degrees on north african lesbian poetry.

The answer is doordash and amazon. I have at least 6 nieces/nephews above the age of 18. None of them know how to drive. They just don't want to. So if they need to go somewhere they just uber. If they need food they just doordash, need anything else it's on Amazon.

The medical field is always hiring, and always shortages. Plenty of jobs there. I work 2 weeks a year in California. I live in Florida, and they pay me like $90/hour to travel to California and fill in shortages as a fucking RN. There really shouldn't be any shortages of those, but there are.

The problem is there is a limited number of slots in med school, and they give them to the darkies and retarded women that will quit in a few years (this is a statistical probably, by the way. most women quit their medical careers within 5 years of starting their residency). Those slots should 100% be going to men given the rarity of the slots and how much we need doctors right now.

No one has any problem hiring white male doctors. In that case, the bottleneck is the DEI colleges. I'm not sure how it is in other STEM fields, but I imagine it's comparable since women leaving the medical field has nothing to do with the job. Just that their flaky plus have a habit of letting Chad come inside them.
