Cool story. Which degree?
Surely you didn't spend all that money on some degree that is unemployable, would you?
Meanwhile everyone are begging for electricians, plumbers, math teachers, chemists etc etc etc.
Not my neck of the woods. Seems like everybody's a plumber or an electrician. Also, who would want to be a teacher in America? The market is so flooded. It also seems like corporate America is trying to capitalize on this as well. So a lot of these people just work like gig workers. No workers protection, no long term strategy. It's crazy that the Catholic Church wants to take public funds and steal from the taxpayer so they can do their sun whorshipping Christian ideology. It's fucking madness in this country. The separation of church and state is no longer the case. It seems Christian Sharia law reigns supreme nowadays. It's all about me me me me me me no worker solidarity, just everybody trying to push their agenda on other people while failing to see who is the real problem, which is Wall Street and the capitalist, and the war mongering imperialist and the two political parties. And if you look at how much capital is floating in our system, it's not a lot. If you look at the recent expenditures of the federal government, it is all going to the military industrial complex and the pigglets which is supported by the neo-liberal or the liberals or even the progressives and the populist right-wing hogs as well as the neo cons., which tells me that the beatings will continue until the morale improves. There's also a lot of data that shows a lot of the mass shootings in our country are due to fiscal realities inter personal relationship issues. I mean, just look on YouTube and type in murder suicide. This is a Yankee problem.. It is not guns themselves, but the capitalist structure that causes so much fucking chaos in this country. The guns don't help, but if you're a libturd, thinking that banning guns is going to change anything here, well, please share the crack but also, if you're some kind of libertarian right-wing cuck thinking that your guns keep you safe, statistically speaking, the guns are used either on your family or on yourself via suicide. You're also too stupid to have a revolution. All you do is lick the boots of tyranny.. But yet, you will look at me as an unhinged person who is poorly educated and that you are superior possibly. If you live in a nation of idiots who Whorship Idols., well it's like platos "the allegory of the cave". I recommend not going back into the cave. For it is pearls before swine. If you are a young person on the internet, learn a second language and learn how to escape America because we are a sinking ship. Don't get caught with your pants down like me. I knew there were problems, but I was an optimist. But there is something culturally wrong with these people. So just give up and create an exit strategy. I have been to Europe. America is very individualistic and unique. It is not like this around the world. I don't need a plumber. I can fix my own toilet. I can install my own sinks. I can install my own garbage disposal. I can fix my own dishwasher which all these things I have done already. I can fix my own refrigerator. I unclog my own toilets and maintain my own drains.. Shit, I can even fix a garage door.. I don't need your service economy. I need a real job with a real future. I need unions. I need politicians that serve the people and not special interest groups. I need rich people who don't follow the rules to actually go to jail. I need presidents that get impeached, that also go to jail. And I need a population that can tell the difference between a leader and a self-benefiter. I need a society that's not just running off of fumes, turning all young people into gig workers as they siphon out the generational wealth by praying on boomers who are also hateful and ignorant.
Yeah, and does it seem like the plumbers and electricians are without work? Do they often need to work a double shift at McDonalds?
