Thanks for sharing. I'm in my late thirties and I currently have no job. I am waiting to hear back from a 'Kelly' temp agency employee (who was high as shit when he spoke with me) for a job assembling plastic parts for $8. This might amount to less than $150 take home as I might have to take a cab home because the buses don't run after the shift ends. I rent a room in a trailer with no door which had a leaky roof until we put a tarp over it. Additionally my mother has emphysema, works 7 days a week and I am powerless to do anything for her.
I'm convinced that all the geek analyzing of 'structural' economic problems are partially in vain. I think human beings are inherently social animals, thus until the financial moguls, billionaires, the Mark Zuckerbergs and Larry Pages of the world literally feel that people like me have the power to kill them.... then nothing will change.This is the same carnal belief that lead to our democratic social order. Even if you believe in things like a 'living wage' , without the support from the wealthy it won't happen. Those people like most don't do shit unless their is something in it for them, but people like me have no leverage other than being semi suicidal and wanting to kill something.
Voting doesn't work and the government doesn't care.
I really don't think it's too complicated. If 5 U.S. billionaires were murdered under the banner of a living wage for all Americans at least a more honest discussion would ensue among circles that have social clout.
So that's my synopsis.
Enjoy life and..
Have fun!
