        You can find jobs, just not careers. Lower your standards and their are infinite shit jobs that you can take.

          Dude I can’t even get hired at a Grocery store. I apply and apply and apply to all sorts of shit and nobody ever responds. I’ve filled out over 100 applications, and all I got out of that was 3 interviews and no offers.

          It was easier to find work when I first entered the job market in 2008, right after the economy crashed. The last time I had to look for job was right before COVID, and it was easy as hell. Literally applied to 3 jobs and was hired within 2 weeks. What the hell changed in recent years?

            You are too old/skilled/educated/mobile/employable for non premium works, so the non-premium works take a pass on you.

            Dumb down your resume or work for a temp agency for a bit. Pretend you have addiction issues. Be a little emotionally volatile. People will hire you on the basis of, they can potentially exploit you.

            The economy didn’t respond they way “it should have” by tightening… so corporates had to just resort to good old fashioned collusion to teach the workforce they can’t ask for things like hybrid and payraises.

            It’s kind of blowing up in their face.

    Imagine complaining about people taking a job to support their family, instead of taking that job for themselves and doing it “the way it should be done”. If you actually wanna change the system, you might wanna try to take control of it first.

    I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when people beat the drum about cops enforcing the laws we tell them to enforce.

    Did all of you sleep through Civics?

    Throw a brick.

    Yes, from the back of the crowd where the only blame is one out of twenty people. Where else?

    Do we still have to keep calling their gangs, “unions”? Clearly they have zero interest in class solidarity, and have only reinforced the reality that they exist to protect capital.

      They have interest in class solidarity in the sense that they have set themselves in a class separate from the majority of the people, and they experience significant solidarity within that class.

      But their insular “solidarity” is a shadow of what they could experience if they didn’t throw their communities under the bus to appease capital. I find it quite sad, in a way, because capital cares about police officers no more than it cares about me; capital considers them a resource to be exploited, just as it does me. We should be on the same side, but alas.

    Shouldn’t people be boycotting Amazon, otherwise working people are hanging themselves with the rope they bought and brought to the party.
