"When I find all of the reasons, maybe I'll find another way, find another day, with all the changing seasons in my life, maybe I'll get it right next time"
United States of America, 1776.
US Steel in Braddock, 1875.
First Steelworkers Union Contract, 1937.
Jeep in Butler, 1940.
250 years of industrial dominance, strength, and innovation.
All started right here in Pennsylvania.
Happy Birthday, America! πΊπΈ
The jobs that pay well require experience you cannot get without a job.
The jobs that will hire you do not pay enough to live on.
The jobs that pay enough and will hire you have 400 applicants.
And the ones that do hire you will offer $15,000 below the listed range.
Then act surprised when you push back.
This is not a skills gap.
This is a deliberate compression of worker leverage.
Built over decades.
Perfected right now.
BREAKING: Rep. Byron Donalds just went NUCLEAR on the US Senate failing to pass the Save America Act:
"The Senate SUCKS, I just want to come out and say that."
"If Bernie Sanders wants to hold the floor for six months, go ahead, let him. Swap out the depends, get some body armor, whatever you need, keep it going, because it demonstrates the stupidity of your argument, and that is what the American people want to see."
Now they're going on vacation until July 13th. Entirely unacceptable.
Crazy how school taught us how to obey authority, memorize pointless information, and work for a paycheckβ¦
But never taught us money, mental health, nutrition, or how to actually live
Politicians know Americans cannot afford rent.
They know people are drowning in medical debt.
They know families are working multiple jobs just to survive.
They know food banks are at record demand.
They know wages have not kept up with anything.
They know all of it.
And as long as stock portfolios go up and campaign donations keep coming in.
They DON'T care.
This is not incompetence.
This is the system working exactly as designed.
For exactly who it was designed for.
