Watching The Diplomat reminds me when I was 8 & I asked my parents what the VP does while waiting for the prez to die. Mom said, "He goes to funerals." Apparently realizing that wasn't enough, she & my dad fumbled around for another thing & landed on "making speeches."
They didn't have Netflix.

Corporations have been using machine learning & other software to screen resumes, without a human touching them, for a decade.

Want to know how the Chumpconomy is going? Here's what I did this week:
Finally transferred the 7.34 I've had in Mercari since selling something 3 yrs ago to my bank.
Started saving Coke cans to recycle for $.
Signed up to take surveys for $ & made $1.
Cash 4 Gold signs will be back any day now.
