Long Live Yellen!




Today's Tids Issue 3,898
For Financial Comfort:

Sometimes you wake up to a pretty great headline: Janet Yellen says, “I don’t believe we’ll see another financial crisis in our life time.” I hope she isn’t eating Cheetos with lots of gravy.

One of the nice things about societies is that they are flexible enough to recycle their opinions and positive trends. Some people do remember history when looking at the present and what’s ahead. I doubt if anything these days will recycle back to the strict Victorian Age or even the laissez Faire fifties, but new generations will tire of over reach, over spending, over indulgence, and temper excess and irresponsibility. Every society needs a breather.

“Don’t you no who I am”, Department:
Like me driven celebs, The big tech guys are not immune from prosecution for irresponsible business practices. They do like to engage in the creation of new Normals which often belie traditional restraints of an ordered society. Some like Google are finding they are not invincible and are subject to man’s laws. Others like Uber and Air B&B who slip under the radar of rules that govern others are finding that their wild, wild west days may be over. The difference between the newbies and the oldies is basically an app and a momentary ability to circumvent community standards. In my humble estimation, too many competitors have too big a stake in their own businesses not to be able to find a way to neutralize the advantage of an App.

On Independence Day, may the fourth be with you.

The Question:
The world it is a changing. Name the five most useless job skills not in demand by employers any more.

The Headlines:
--Police Helicopter Attack Aimed At Venezuelan Supreme Court.
--Senate Relaxes Deadline On Health Care Improvement.
--Massive Ransomware Cyberattack Reaches Pacific Rim After Rampaging Through Europe; Suspect Perpetrator Of  Is In Ukraine..
--US Admiral Says ISIS Beginning To target Asia.
--On Eve Of IPO, Blue Apron Cuts Price range Of ffering From $15-$17 to $10-$11.
--Sarah Huckabee Sanders Scolds Media As Only She Can.

Sarah Palin is back, now suing the New York Times for the mudslinging editorial that tied her to the shooting of Gabrielle Gifford in the wake of the hysteria over the shootings on an Alexandrea ballfield. The graying lady actually admitted they erred in the editorial, but in these times, false accusations stick. People who dislike Sarah will never forget that line in the Times editorial. False accusers are not good for America, and that means everybody including Trump.

A no-fly zone prohibits zippers.

Do you understand this headline, the latest in the “diversity Wars”: “New WWII movie Dunkirk portrays white people as white”? Say what? That was a complaint from the diversity police.

Some mornings a good sneeze will elevate you from lethargic drowsiness to vibrant alertness.

Thank God for DVR. Its availability is essential when watching America’s Got Talent. It can cut down on the aggravation of the judges and eliminates all of those phony acts they insert for some unknown reason. I guess it is meant to include a broader audience of those with no standards.

When AGT gets down to the selected acts, the Tids Entertainment Editorial Board will be with you to help sort out the opinions.

The Answer:
In other words, below are phrases or “skills” no longer making an impact on resumes.
1.  Microsoft Office is no longer a special skill. 2. “Word Processing” 3. Outdated Programming Languages. 4. Data Entry. 5. Administration.  6. Customer Service  7. Call Center/Phone/Fax.  8. Can Work on Team or Independently. 9. Social Media 10. Email 11. Being a Middleman (i.e. Travel Agent or other jobs being replaced by AI.) 12. Bookkeeping  13. Research (With Google, it is something employers expect of everybody).

Well, that’s about it for today. A short Tids is better than no Tids at all.
