the part they never teach you:
inflation is permanent.
$6 coffee doesn’t go back to $3.
your only defense is earning more.
but the moment workers ask for that they call it a threat to the economy.
whose economy.
Your job is already on someone’s spreadsheet. Doesn’t matter if you’re senior, indispensable, top of your team.
AI doesn’t care about your performance review. Every company says “not us” until it’s them, and every employee says “not me” until it’s them too. You can keep pretending you’re the exception, or you can hedge against unemployment before you are the next quarterly punch line.
-Mr. Layoff
When a corporation pays poverty wages and its workers end up on food stamps and Medicaid.
You are not helping a struggling worker.
You are subsidizing a profitable corporation.
You are covering the gap between what they choose to pay and what a person needs to live.
That is a wealth transfer from taxpayers to shareholders.
And it is completely legal.
And completely intentional.
This is America
If your employer wants to swap you out for cheap Indians, THEY CAN!
If your employer wants to offshore the entire business to Mexico or China, THEY CAN! In fact the US government will lend them money if they need it to offshore your business.
This is America.
Every single IT consultancy, staffing firm, IT solutions company, and body shop in New Jersey should be investigated. Fraud is endemic in these businesses. They are all over Middlesex and Somerset Counties. All Indian origin CEOs and former Cognizant employees leading these companies should come under scrutiny. We need the fraud eradicated and the fraudsters returned to their motherland.
The ultimate scam of the American corporate system is making health insurance tied to your employment. It’s intentionally designed to keep you too terrified to quit a toxic job or start your own business.
I've never understood who held a gun to the heads of the people who signed student loans with such monumentally stupid terms? Should people like this be in college anyway?
🚨 THIS IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY ON A MASSIVE SCALE! 🚨
A single DHS employee is wiring $600 MILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars to an NGO every 2-3 months… for illegal migrants.
That’s BILLIONS funneled straight from American families into shady organizations with zero accountability.
They’re looting our country in broad daylight while veterans sleep on the streets and Americans struggle to afford groceries.
ENOUGH.
Ban all NGOs. Cut off the grift. Defund this madness NOW.
Who else is sick of this taxpayer heist? 🇺🇸

Oh, it's a scam.
The federal government, which heavily subsidizes higher education, has put no accountability on higher education. Or on the student loan industry.
Universities have no incentive to control costs. Instead, they have run up costs, mostly in administration, and much of that in DEI enforcement. Lenders who would never approve an auto loan to a young person with no prospects will do that because they have the parents on the hook.
Donald Trump, if you do nothing else, end that.
