>What's worse is some of them have kids while knowingly and having allowed them-self to reach the point of living paycheck to paycheck. Really, just sad.
The story of my parents right there lol. Then they had another kid and spent our childhoods whining about our finances...
What happens when you have a lot of people, with nothing to lose?
Revolution is coming to America.
Whats so bad, just be one of the party leaders and execute actual communists for being "foreign national plants" or something.
I didnt understand how people making above the median income live paycheck to paycheck until I started talking and befriending these people and realizing they simply don't fucking even try to save.
25+$ a day spent on stupid shit like cigarettes and alcohol, going out every weekend, 10$+ lunches at chipotle or whatever, indulging in retarded vices, and we arent even getting to shit like weed.
They then barely even work full time and wonder why they cant save anything, and always complain about being broke and "i cant afford food" but ignore the food shelf system already put in place.
Its fucking pathetic, I got through rough patches by working my ass off, cutting out vices, and being frugal as hell with food. Not even resorting to ramen, but instead relying on actual poverty food and making the most of it.
Literally go fucking die, some Mexican will replace you.
Why have a mexican replace them? Theyll just shit up the system too. Finally start automating shit now that both are out of the way.
And what happens when your parents can't pay rent? you absolute moron
I have been thinking of this for a long time waiting for the inevitable super bug to pop up. Historically these things cause paradigm shifts and upheaval. It's going to be painful but I think a necessary and substantial enough ass pain to make people question the things around them.
You learn how to live simply, or you perish.
True, but we need somewhat of a stopgap, and a good chunk are so used to poverty that they understand the actual value of a dollar and saving money.
I worked with a Cuban (legal) for awhile and he was saving enough to send money home to support his extended. Granted we were both above min wage but the tradeoff was it was pretty tough manufacturing work with long ass shifts.
