Actually this sort of happened with me doing enviromental managment. Establishment kept telling us they had employers bashing down the doors trying to get them to fast track us because they needed to fill jobs.
The first batch finished and found out there were no jobs and it was just to get us to open our wallets more.

Came to say similar.
The other thing im finding is employers wanting degrees to do what are typically blue collar jobs and paying peanuts for it. I was looking at cnc machinist jobs, stuff that i learned on the fly but there are trade school for wanted people with engineer degrees to push buttons. And they pay was less than i was getting with no qualifications.

F*** or F***** im so confused.
I seem to remember it came into Australian parlance during one of the wars, WW2 or nam maybe, due to saying fukc being frowned upon by some uppity officers.

Harambe was in his haram harem.

Not that recent. Only the huge fight over it was recent.

Don't think they made any zoning laws around here, some houses can't get them because of historical signifigance etc.
Around here its the power companies that fucked the solar industry. Feed in is between 6-10c per KWH, familys was locked in under a contract at about 35c. The inverter packed it in under warranty so it got replaced but the contract was linked to the inverter and couldn't be transfered over.
If we get on grid batteries we need to sign a waiver that let's the power companies suck the power out when they need it so there's no real gain.
