SoylentNews is people

Specifically, the AC who claims that all job posts are works of fiction and that Soggy Jobs is a fraud.

It is specifically for people like him that I built it. I want to facilitate the employment of those who find it difficult to find work.

However, I am forced to concede that I'm stymied by this particular AC. I expect he has some manner of mental illness whose paranoia leads him to be completely convinced that _nobody_ actually works as a coder.

The booming Portland economy is centered around the Pearl District and its Downtown. Locate your startup there and you'll get VC like there's no tomorrow.

But you won't hire any coders.

Have you any advice as to how I can help him? Help me out here, I'm begging you!

    Your economy is fucked as long as employers refuse to employ anyone. Employing people costs money and savvy employers accumulate more money by not spending money. The only reason you're not seeing widespread rioting is employers realized all they need to do to pacify the jobless is to provide false hope of jobs. Hence every job board is filled with fake jobs. Unemployed people wasting their time applying for jobs which don't even exist are people who are too busy to riot.

    As the death spiral continues, you will see increasing unemployment, which is happening. You will see increased begging and theft and homelessness, which is happening. You will see increased security at workplaces to keep rich people safe, which is happening. You will see increased security at gated residential communities to keep poor people out, which is happening. You will see increased police brutality to beat poor people to death while rich people grow ever richer, which is happening.

    You accuse me of mental illness, and I tell you the employers that you help are delusional pathological liars. I have applied for night jobs where the delusional employers only conduct interviews during daylight business hours. I have applied at charities that ostensibly assist the mentally ill to find jobs, and there the delusional employers conduct background checks to exclude the mentally ill from assistance. I have applied at companies where interviewers openly admit there aren't any available jobs but company policy obliges them to lie about open jobs and interview candidates anyway.

    Soggy Jobs is not helping job seekers. Soggy Jobs is only helping fraudulent employers. Soggy Jobs is part of the problem.

    Fuck MDC
