I'm 34 and jobless. I am deeply resentful towards the so called 'work ethic'. Here's why...

yes, isn't it just a joyous experience to bust your balls and focus all of your spare time and energy ensuring your business never liquidates?

what a wonderfully comfortable life you live.

i think the real danger is that change is coming - someone is very busy getting it into the heads of the masses that they are being had. Even the likes of Fox news puts guys out there like Napolitano who are gradually getting the word out that the system is rotten.
The problem is that people will be motivated to change - but because its for the wrong reason, they will be just as easily herded into the solution already planned for them long in advance.
I say its the wrong reason, because its not motivated by love of truth, but anger over being screwed. And that motive does not carry the integrity to see it through to a good solution - but rather a reactionary result, such as was produced by communist revolution.
I expect there to be a feigned collapse of the powers that be followed by a world-wide 'brotherhood' that will be worse than anything we have seen.

So you are incapable of doing what your prospective employers have succeeded in doing, and you bitch at them treating you like you are beneath them?

Newsflash for you... you ARE beneath them. By empirical evidence you are not as skilled, driven, determined, or capable as they are.

I live a great life, my business is still small enough that it's manageable, and large enough for it to provide a comfortable lifestyle.

And no, I don't hire whiny losers like the OP.

Then stop working for other people and work for yourself

And you pay sub-living wages to your employees.

Hint: a living wage is enough for a single person to float a boat by themselves in modest digs in a decent enough part of town.
Without having to live with others so survive.
Money enough for digs, food, car, health needs... and some left over for pleasure and if desired, savings.

Nope. You're one of the phuques that is going to find a real surprise on the other side of this life.... and sitting like a bump on a log of a church pew won't be of any value to you whatsoever.... in fact... it will be a detriment.

You've been brainwashed.... and then ran with the ball, continuing to brainwash yourself.

Your Day Is...... coming.

you, instead, hire ass-licking 'yes' men who silently hate your guts for having power over them and ordering them around.

All good people do now is exist

When you have a system managed by lies , corruption , hatred, for its precious resources,

this system is going to fail.

The interesting thing is

Who will suffer the most from the failure?

Here's why I feel so deeply resentful towards the system, that I am as deeply reluctant to serve it:

First off, it is so stressful and monotonous competing with hundreds / thousands of other wannabe slaves, that you are forced to constantly upgrade skills and sell yourself more (beg harder). It is degrading to beg to be someone else' slave.

I have 12 employees, none of them make less than double the minimum wage. So that's wrong.

Only 2 make that little, they are the office staff. The other 10 are highly skilled, and earn more than 5 times the minimum wage.

Too bad, but your argument doesn't stand at all.

I owned another company where the average pay was about 1.5x minimum wage. I closed that one, (didn't feel the least bit bad about it either since pretty much everyone there was an Obama voter. The two that were hard working and honest are the two that are my office staffers now.

The Obamaites can go f themselves for all I care.

That's still not enough to do what I stated....

Which used to be done.

Once again.

You've been brainwashed. And you carried it on by continuing to brainwash yourself.

You can't lie to me.

You attempt to lie to yourself.
Those twinges that used to conscience... you know... those fleeting nagging thoughts....

That you killed.

You may have cauterized your conscience to the point of no return.

From your words, 99% likely.

To re-claim the 1% and escape what presently awaits on the other side of this life will Cost You.

Everything.

Totally agree with this thread. I'm saving my money and plan on buying a cheap little cabin somewhere, raising chickens & goats, gardening, and giving the middle finger to all things modern.

wrote a poem bout it...wanna here it? here it goes:

Where is the anger? Where is the rage?

With the spirit of this age?

Is this is the way it should be?

Weren't you born free?



We work for stuff! Nothing but fluff!

things that dont last, in plastic cast, produced en masse

you buy it with your worthless dollar.

"you are a slave, Neo"

white or blue collar.





We make it so easy for them

to dim our light and make us fight

for the table scraps that are left

before our inevitable death.



Who deeded THEM the planet?

Why isnt it MINE, dammit!?

Who gave it to them to sell it back to us?

With interest, plus, plus?



Xanax, Prozac, Zoloft and Valium

various alcohols by the gallon

Why are you so messed up and hurting inside?

What are you trying to hide?



Is it your frustration and rage

at your gilded cage?

That you dont even know you're in?

Your life is an affront to God...a mortal sin.



You were made in the image of your Creator!

(that means that sooner or later)

you must begin to act like HIM

Stop being a SIM!

Stop worshiping The Man!

You're not here to fill bank accounts and buy fancy cars!

You're here to be who you are!

A one and only a limited edition.

To create should be your mission.

This is a harsh truth , not all adults will come to this understanding . This is reality in the real world ! Except it or fall by the wayside

I'm embroidering this onto a pillow. Well said. This thread is massively depressing, though.

That's still not enough to do what I stated....

Property tax needs to go first.

So you are incapable of doing what your prospective employers have succeeded in doing, and you bitch at them treating you like you are beneath them?

Newsflash for you... you ARE beneath them. By empirical evidence you are not as skilled, driven, determined, or capable as they are.

Yes that takes skill, hard work, determination, drive amongst other things. Or in short, all the things that people like the OP lack.

Who should feed you?
