Thread 512604459

Are we losing the ability to build or maintain complex systems? Look at aging power grids failing under basic stress, space programs stuck in endless delays (NASA’s SLS anyone?), or niche fields like metallurgy or classical philology churning out fewer experts. Back in the 60s the US slapped together moon landings with slide rules. Now they can’t even keep bridges from crumbling without a decade of red tape. Is this just bureaucracy gone wild, or are we culturally too soft to prioritize hard skills? Are there any fields still holding strong? What’s the one thing that could reverse this slide into mediocrity?

Let me guess. Pol chuds will just say it's because poc people have infiltrated tech or some shit

It's because of nepotism and DEI hires + kikes stealing money from the nation through money printing.

i know a guy who's always bitching about how the plant isnt run well because *normie noises* and he knows better ways and it's all because people are too stupid and I wouldn't let him install a stereo in my car.

ya it's a downward trajectory that isn't even bottomed out yet.

We should let countries have their own publicly controlled central banks. Let's start from this and you'll see how countries will start to prosper again.

A shift towards ruthless termination of employment for any failure to meet position expectations. I work corporate, it takes 6 months or more to get someone out, and you need exec backing to get those timeframes. Contracts should be ruthless, and remuneration should be high. Getting terminated should get you industry blacklisted for life. Wrongful termination should result in millions in compensation so everyone's keeping documentation and not just being office bitch retards.

The problem is literally immigrants, each area has a finite infrastructure cap that can be maintained, mass low skilled jobs that can't pay back into the infrastructure with each extra person needing food services, schools, water, electricity, internet, road and board which everyone else has to pay for the expansional infrastructure cost till its impossible to maintain.

Not including the social drain.

No, the complex systems just aren't built to be maintained.

It used to be that you didn’t need a degree and credentialing to go do things, they’d just check if you were retarded or not and then train you to be the equivalent of an engineer. Basically greatest Gen could just walk off the street and start a low level job and work their way up to CEO without credentialing, not you need 7 years of college just to wipe your own ass due to boomer protectionism and bureaucratic manager class gate keeping.

Oh yeah, and brown people. It’s because of them we can’t have this anymore. Can’t hire a smart White man of a retarded jeet wants the job.

I've worked both private and government and I agree, hourly doesn't work you need contracted per job to avoid people spending 99% of the time doing nothing.

Removal of all international businesses the only ones I've ever seen work are direct ownership where if the company collapses the person on top will get it to, instead you have a million sub companies from international ones where no one cares in the slightest because they have no stake.

Don't get me started on the government, I'm black pilled working there where everything needs to be privatized because they just can't run a system.

It’ll come crashing down.
The global trade and economic apparatus is far too fragile to sustain brownoids running everything. I expect mass starvation and lack of infrastructure causing massive death tolls.
