@beamerboyjared If I were in your shoes I would start looking to Europe for employment. Europe is starting to get an influx of more tech workers than the US and their tech scene is laying its foundations rn. Go for it
@CFragilistic@emeriticus I feel like since the 1980s America has placed too much emphasis on its financial performance and NOT on the culture that makes it so unique and distinct.
@kiki13ka@Isaacdrost15@Coinvo You don't need to worry buddy. Not everybody wants to work Blue collar jobs. You do it because you love it. Everybody else works their job because they either love it or they have to. Telling young adults to "learn a trade" is going to drive wages down.Thegovernmentneedstostep in
@ProudSocialist You don't ever hear anybody with that much influence like a CEO or even a politician say "do something about it". That man in particular is probably the most arrogant wealthy person I've ever seen.
@BarryMcOnHere@TheMaineWonk Bump it up to 200k and still ban insider trading. Tit for tat my man. Yeah we'll give you a raise but no more stock trading.
@Kfod_8@flackospalace@RockChartrand You worked your ass off and you weren't able to have anything to show for that. Giving your kids clothes on their backs and roofs over their heads is legit the bare minimum. There's more to life than providing the bare minimum. And you're lucky that you're able to retirenowadays
@CrazySaw98@flackospalace@RockChartrand My point is even if you keep jumping jobs and changing it up until you find something that you like, what you like might not give you all that much money to live with. Everyonewillhave a good mindset until they still keep getting shafted or they find the end of their leash in US
@ElephantOpin@flackospalace@RockChartrand What I'm also trying to say is that it's also important to find a job that you actually like and that you won't hate. Because some of the jobs that give people enjoyment will not always come with a fat paycheck. And some peopleare geographically limited by what jobs they can work
@ElephantOpin@flackospalace@RockChartrand Yes, being smart with your money is important. But it's also equally important to get paid the right amount so you can be able to enjoy your life
@GarebearNola3 @flackospalace@RockChartrand Hey man, some of the jobs that give people enjoyment in life may not come with a fat paycheck. You may have the personality that would come with certain high-paying jobs. You should work because you WANT TO not because you HAVE TO.
@CrazySaw98@flackospalace@RockChartrand Do you like your job? Cuz believe me some people want to chase the money and will probably hate that good paying job. What jobs give people enjoyment in life may not come with good pay. Especially if they're essential like teaching.
@Kfod_8@flackospalace@RockChartrand So you're okay with going without better material living conditions while you're working two jobs or working more than 70 hours a week? There are people that work just as hard as you and they want to see results from it. Cut the asceticism. Pay us a livable wage damn it!
@RandPaul Is the Trump Administration going by modern monetary Theory? Inflation is controlled for now and possibly in their minds justifying all this extra spending?
