This shit pisses me off and you can probably hear it, with me stumbling over words in this one. Obviously my argument doesn't hold for very high-level jobs, like a computer security expert or something, but it applies to what used to be entry-level jobs like welding or construction. Have a few days of training for the job once you start working, but don't require several years of experience to get the job in the first place.

I get a little carried away with questioning America's ethics in the process of talking about chemical weapons. I also realize that I should rename the podcast because someone else has already used the name.

Edit: So apparently I was way off on the death count from the nuclear bombings of Japan. It's more like 130k-230k deaths - the majority of which were civilian. Considerably less, of course (not sure why I thought it was two million), but still a hell of a lot more than died at Pearl Harbor. Japan did a lot of bad shit in WWII, but taking that out on the civilians is pretty fucking dirty. Not to mention, America rounded up innocent Japanese Americans around that time, just because of their race. Also, it sounds like I might have been incorrect on some details about the Dresden bombing as well. But seeing how this episode is literally titled "I have no idea what I'm doing or talking about," if you take anything I say in these episodes as fact, you're an idiot.

I talk about how both of my pinkie fingers got cut in the exact same place in almost the same way, two years apart, and in doing so, explore what this podcast is. I don't know. If you somehow discovered this podcast and listened to it and want to hear more, comment on it (if you can, first time I've used Anchor) and give me suggestions of what to talk about. I'll talk about almost anything.
