Lol I don't understand what you guys have against jobs. I don't get payed just enough to survive, I get payed so much I thrive. Because I'm not married I take home 140k in pure savings (salary and investments included) at the age of 26. I would rather work 40 hours a week and live in luxury, travel anywhere I want, afford anything I want, and retire early. Growing up in poverty, I can tell you my life is like 1,000x better now.

The best is when someone couldn't afford college so they took out a loan, couldn't afford their car so they took out a loan, and couldn't afford their house so they took out a loan, and then what is the next logical step when you can't afford a damn thing? Spawn some brats, because you know, you don't have enough financial burdens. The sheep don't value their freedom, or even know they are slaves. All that matters is fitting the mold and looking successful to a sick society.

Hmm, between these 2 blocks of thought is the man.

I tell ya, That is my plan. To live tax free off the money of post-wall women who don't realize their problem is a failure to cultivate a personality

Exactly. Generation Z already gets this. See this https://www.reddit.com/r/MGTOW/comments/73cbkv/not_drinking_or_driving_teens_increasingly_put/?st=J87ZADUH&sh=a8ba3e7c

The ones bitching about that article don't get it. They're still trapped in the Matrix.

Humans have always had to work, historically way longer than 8 hours a day and in much more difficult conditions than an air conditioned office.

I went through this stage when I was closing in on adulthood and it finally donned on me that my whole life would involve having a job, but that's what humans have to do to survive, contribute something of value.

I know it's hip to be socially progressive today "let the 1% pay for it! REEEE!". Especially among upper middle class college kids. But this is not how the world works, and capitalism is the best system we have so far.

Look, I hate my job too, I work 60 hours a week. But it allows me to do and buy things I want to. It allows me to scuba dive in exotic places around the world, eat out in expensive restaurants, drive nice cars, live in a luxury apartment. Now my parents were from Eastern Europe. They lived during communism. And that was real shit show. They had to wake up at 4am and stand in 1 hour long line to buy loaf of bread. They (and everyone else) lived in absolutely shit conditions, sharing old soviet apartment with an alcoholic, and a family with 5 kids. But at least they didn't have to work for the man right? Wrong. If you didn't show up at work it was grounds to be not just fired, but actually arrested. So there you go. Equality bitch. Everyone's poor.

Employment is better than unemployment.

Speak for yourself.

Arbeit Macht Frei.

I'm currently between jobs and am trying to survive on welfare. I cannot wait to get back into fulltime employment and work 40 hours per week. Sure it won't be my dream job and I won't be earning six figures, but at least I will have my own apartment again and financial independence.

And 40 hours per week is nothing. Many people regularly work 60-80 hour weeks. Personally, 40 hours is enough for me.

Regretfully, that's how it is for most of us bro. Our only choice seems to be to hold on to our values and be strong.

The only thing that irks me about working is knowing I have to bust my arse every day while the majority of single mothers don't work a day in their lives. They get to bludge off the welfare system and child support, which of course they spend on themselves instead of the child.

Well if no one had jobs there would be no one farming food, building structures etc. If no one had a job, there would be no movies, no paper, no alcohol, no anything. Everyone has their place. Even before money, people had to fulfill their obligations to society.

I find most people can't reconcile the job they want with the income they want. For me, I work in visual arts and I knew for the longest time that I wasn't going to be buying a Ferrari off that. If you're unhappy with your job -- quit and do what you want to do. And if you can't it's because you don't have the skills necessary, in which case you should be thankful that someone is willing to employ you.

I should be a homeless according to this post

It's easy to mock the idea of working to earn a wage, but it's actually a pretty neat system

bingobongo991 · 2017-10-02T07:45:47+00:00

A lot of bums are lazy fucks who suck money from the government and wallow in their own shit and pass out drunk.
