Yeah you are bro.
Because, despite the stereotype, plenty of us are running around with marketable degrees and still can't find work.
1/5 Americans has a student loan. This is going to be a serious problem and we're all gonna have to pay for it.
@UncleBuckbroken Unless you have spent time lobbying congress to reign in Wall Street or tech, you slept walked into this thing like everyone else.
I hold a tiny fraction of the $2 trillion in outstanding loans. $2 trillion. And you don't think Uncle Sam is gonna hit you up for the bailout. 🤣
@cecil_zemus@UncleBuckbroken Yeah you did. You're a part of society. Unless you've spent the last 60 years railing against Wall Street and congress allowing bankers to do whatever, or fighting against the evils of AI, you're as much to blame as everyone else.
Eventually tax payers will have to fix this.
@UncleBuckbroken Blah blah blaah.
This silly little rant doesn't matter. You're not going to have a choice.
We all created the problem. We're all going to have to be part of the solution.
Be me. You run across this video of this cute chick with the hips and the hair and this BONKERS unhinged story.
FF 4 months and you discover Chappell Roan. Good Luck Babe is your new karaoke go to.
FF 2 months, run across this video again, and put 2 and 2 together. 🤦♂️
I have no memory of when the Atari showed up in the house.
I don't remember asking for it. I don't remember getting it as a present. It's always been there.
It's a funny hole in my memory because im the only one that played it so I had to have asked for it at some point right?
Laughter, Tears, it’s all part of “life” and even DEATH. The soldier today, “shushing” the SecDef (Hegseth) got a little Carried Away With Himself. I’ve been to that TOMB a million times, People show up in Short Pants and drink Red Bull. Doesn’t mean they’re bad people, it’s just, basically, the World as it is. Pete knows the names, stories, and relatives of those KILLED in war. Do You?
This was my first Transformer.
Except for Saturdays, I wasn't allowed to get out of bed wherever I wanted. So, I used to play with this guy in bed until someone said it was OK to get up. 🙂
@gwarrior201 Of course not. But it's even worse than that.
Despite doing everything right, cost of living has made retirement tight. They saved, lived below their means, and it still wasn't enough to have a worry free retirement.
So what does that mean for people working now?
My grandpa was a railroad baggage handler for 40 years. He raised 2 generations, bought 2 houses, had numerous cars, and we took fabulous vacations.
In 30 short years we've gone from this being normal to thinking laborers don't deserve lives.
This dude is getting destroyed btw.
I find it hard to believe that people who make coffee believe they are owed a salary that allows them to raise a family, buy a house, cars and exotic vacations.
They make coffee!
@Vanox287141@BeauFedeeze I conflated GDP with productivity. This is the chart I was looking for. That said, it's the same point. We're pumping out stuff and the results aren't hitting people's paychecks, and you don't need a PhD in Economics to understand that. You just have to look outside.
