I actually used to live in section 8 housing growing up. Once I was old enough, the path seemed so clear on how to get far removed from that environment. I'm not sure why others don't see it and continue to accept their situation as unchangeable.
- cia_plant 16y agoIt seems to me that it is unchangeable in the aggregate. A certain level of unemployment is simply part of our system; the workers are literally incapable of changing the economic variables which create that level. Moreover, a large proportion of the employed are poorly-paid retail workers or laborers; again, it is not possible for the actions of this group to change the size of the different segments of the job market. As such it is a game of musical chairs as to who ends up with the shit jobs, who ends up without a job. The fact that an individual can escape by outdoing his peers only masks the fundamental hopelessness of the situation.
