In America and the UK*, when an elected official, particularly a local one, announces any type of new initiative or development or program, they default to hyping the number of jobs that thing will bring. It could be anything from a new building project to tax incentives to a school and everything in between, they instinctively talk about how "X program will bring Y jobs to Z area." This seems to be a talking point regardless of the area's employment situation. When and why did this become commonplace?

*I specify the US and the UK bc those are the places I've lived and so I know this happens there. Not saying it's not also common elsewhere, just wanted to limit my observation to personal experience.

Been reading a lot of Legends lately, and a minor thing that bugs me is how literally every Jedi we ever meet is "one of the finest swordsman in the Order." It makes sense to a point, if Yoda trained Dooku trained Qui Gon trained Obi Wan trained Anakin, then the skills pass down too. But they say that about literally everyone even ppl outside the lineage too!

Just once I want them to introduce a Jedi like "ya he's fine with a lightsaber. Passable but nothing to write home about."
