i think they meant she was just another interchangeable employee "like the rest of us" rather than that she's particularly unemployable for whatever reason
That's also weird, though. "Like the rest of us" means nothing, plenty are employable, a vast majority are actually.
So, to assume they "probably went from unemployable" to winning the job lottery with a nonprofit is certainly a take.
Sorry, have two in laws living with me who have been applying for jobs for 14 months without success. If they can’t get jobs here in boston, i’m guessing florida is even worse.
Has nothing to do with her in particular, just the state of how fucked this nation is. Just like what I said originally.
I think (though i'm not certain) it was hyperbole. Emphasizing that the median resume would look unemployable to, like, a high paying consulting firm, like the sort that does work in DC.
I understand what you're saying and I'm not certain either.
But, given that the context is a response to concern, it makes it sound like they're suggesting that she's gunning for the outcome. Like "don't worry about them they're all setup now." A nobody who is now a champion of liberalism.
It just reads weird. Maybe they are just an ernest doomer who believes nobody is employable, but also thinks that everything will work out here. Stranger things have happened. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You know, it doesn't hurt to ask me instead of insinuating shit.
