Ivanka says, "If you lose your job to Covid, just get training and find a new job!

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/clueless-ivanka-trump-shredded-for-suggesting-out-of-work-americans-just-find-something-new/

The White House is backing an ad campaign intended to encourage out-of-work Americans to just “find something new” — and it’s got Ivanka Trump’s fingerprints all over it.

The campaign came out of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board, which was created by President Donald Trump in 2018 and co-chaired by his eldest daughter along with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

“There has never been a more critical time for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to be aware of the multiple pathways to career success and gain the vocational training and skills they need to fill jobs in a changing economy,” Ivanka Trump said in announcing the campaign.


Holy shit! Why didn't I think of that?

Is that what you will do when your Daddy gets pasted in November by Joe Biden?

At the ripe old age of 61, that’s exactly what I need - to have a bunch of student loan debt, right?

The stupidity never ceases to astound me. Ivanka is an out of touch, rich, privileged idiot and she continues to earn those adjectives on a daily basis.

If/When Trump is out of the White House, he'll insist that Ivanka divorce Jared. He may ever select her new husband.

Or venture capitalist or hedge fund managers. Those jobs certainly pay better than working minimum wage cleaning hotel rooms or being a lowly scientist or cashier at target or even a small business owner.

Without Princess Electra's highly superior business-like stuff, we would all be lost.

Just do that! Who knew there were any alternatives to anything? Is this new? Does it apply to other things? What if I don't have a Sugar Daddy who has a twinkle in his eye for me?

19. I learned to write web code.

I quickly discovered that there is code that writes code. Billion dollar tech companies have something like 13 employees. There are robots that build robots. This problem that was happening in slow motion is now speeding up.

There is a dividing line between those who get seed money to get them started and those who don't. Student loans were a way to address the problem, but just like health care costs, when the government or other institutions pay for things the costs go up to the point where not only are the full retail sticker prices of college and health care unaffordable, the premiums and loan payments can't be met. The response to all of this is "you should have thought about that before you were born on the wrong side of the dividing line."

He said “just get a Corvette, Mom”.

Ivanker gives a five year old’s response to a complicated, life and death issue. Terrific.
