You’re Not Imagining It—Job Hunting is Getting Worse (time.com)
Post-pandemic, companies are going back to their old habits of putting candidates through a grueling process.
pluralistic, One of the weirdest aspect of #EndStageCapitalism is the collapse of #auditing, the lynchpin of investing. Auditors - independent professionals who sign off on a company's finances - are the only way that investors can be sure they're not handing their money over to failing businesses run by crooks.

Brad_Rosenheim, People may be wondering what we USians do on our Labor Day weekend. Well, we...
- Don't really do anything, because everything is closed so the workers can rest...
- All go to the market on Friday to plan for an outdoor barbecue all weekend while the stores are closed...
- We sing songs about workers and about unionizing...
- We shower blue collar workers with gifts and invitations to our barbecues...
- Lol - you honestly think capitalism can give us a weekend off to celebrate workers? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

#barbecue(we do a lot of barbecuing, for real though).
glightly, @Brad_Rosenheim Maybe a good time for us to remember #WGAStrike #SAGAFTRAStrike are still going on and that loads of Code for America workers were laid off for unionizing and could use donations.

Satori, First pic: When your air quality is this…
Second pic: … and your outdoors looks like this…
Third pic: …your furnace filter looks like this (and boy do you go through A LOT of them if running air conditioning).
Skye is safe inside. 💜 I had to wear a mask just to water the garden and flowers outside today. 😔

Smoke filled air and a grey orange gloom on a day that should be clear and blue skies.
Filthy black filter contrasted against a white door.
Satori, @ncrav Thank you ❤️. The dark concentrated part on the western side of Canada is where we live. 😖 Filtration is keeping Skye safe, thankfully. 💓

SonofaGeorge, @clmerle Or, in England, "follies" on their estates. Oh, for the good old days.
