   Started off today with the first chapter Let This Radicalize You by Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes, which I'd been meaning to read for a while.

   My favorite quote so far:

   "In a world where we are steadily being splintered apart, where so much of our social lives have been reduced to commercial interactions, and where fellowship and belonging are desperately lacking, we must relearn how to hold space and belief together in ways that anchor us to each other and to our collective moral commitments."

   @TindrasGrove @teriradichel basically that. I am not saying there are NO jobs - clearly there are. I am saying that there are far fewer jobs than many of the industry organizations are purporting there to be. I can speculate on the reasoning for that. I know that anecdotes don't constitute data, but there are a many people expressing extreme frustration in their job searches. I, myself, am now unemployed. I'm only casually looking and working with a career coach who has impressed on me that the time to find a job right now is much longer than it has been for a while.

   My main concern is this: we have a lot of seemingly qualified nad experienced people already not able to get jobs - recall that there have been massive IT layoffs over the past 12 months, plus the normal flow of new people entering the job market, and I would argue the cost of living necessitating people putting off retirement, so squeezing the tube at every point, and now the USG is embarking on an effort to train up hundreds of thousands of people to compete in an already tough job market.

   So, my original post was definitely overly dramatic in terms of saying there aren't jobs, but I remain super concerned about the trajectory we are on, from the perspective of job seekers and and ability to earn a living wage.
