The USA until the mid 20th century was full of participants in a nation whose success WAS the success of the people in it. Today those who live here are "resources" in an economic zone exploited by the entire globe.
@IfindRetards It's just a shame. I get it, the cop does not want to be offed himself. They need better tools. I always think some kind of advanced mancatcher would be useful in situations like this.
@sailaunderscore Call this cope til you are blue in the face... I have 3 daughters. I would not press red to choose whatever greatness and wealth that might come my direction forsaking them to nonexistence in all likelihood.
@Diamond95806227@MattWalshBlog Sorry, I just cannot believe a drug or combination of drugs can possibly be blamed for such a soulless demonic crime. Contributing factor? maybe, but there are dozens of contributing factors.
@moseskagan Very true. I made very good choices financially in my early 20s, but sub-optimal choices in my career. Finding it very hard now to bounce back from those, but I did cushion myself financially. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@Sargon_of_Akkad Women generally have less qualms with spending, while the young men stay to save more money, perhaps to buy a home or car outright because debt is debilitating.
@DandelionQueen8@jeremyct I wouldn't leave my current job for anything less than a 35% raise right now. Job hopping is all but dead and most places it's last in - first out policy when layoffs come
@SparkingFIRENC Yeah, I'm 35 and have cut back to just employer match. Got 3 kids and need more spending money. I ran the numbers and unless I were to contribute SIGNIFICANTLY more each month, it wouldn't move the needle as much as the principal as it sits gains.
@SanDiegoKnight@grouchian Yeah, and I would wager that a large amount of US citizen tech workers have the technical ability to do those AI/ML jobs, but India is ahead with giving out some kind of credentials...
@sanpellyenjoyer A modestly successful life, a very Christian mindset. Too bad it is becoming scarce and if you let your kid end up like this you accept that they'll be lorded over by every other foreigner.
