And yet I am more thrifty than you. I don't have a piece of clothing newer than 3 years old, I live off ramen and the occasional real meal, once every few days, I don't have any new systems or good stuff, which the exception of my computer which is for work/school, and is now 3 years old. I don't go out, I don't waste any money at all. However, college costs me 20k a year, and living expenses are about 10k a year. That means 30k a year times 4 years, which is 120k dollars. How can I get out from under than just 3 years after I graduate early at 21? Perhaps 40k of that will be gone by the time I graduate from working, but minimum wage doesn't pay much.
Also, my apartment is tiny, I don't have a windowsill to grow vegetables in, I don't have a plot of land to grow fruits, I don't have anything. And in this case, buying what I can't afford would be food, shelter.
So really, what is the secret to the other 80k a year? Just don't pay for college and live in an abandoned building? I don't see where you get that money from magically. I work hard, but don't earn enough to live on. Really, What else can I possibly give up? Seriously!?
I was simply remarking that those who only work 4-8 hours a day 4-5 days a week barely do any work at all compared to those who work 6-7 days a week at 10-16 hours a day, and that to claim the much harder working working poor doesn't deserve what little they are making with their very long hours, then how could a bastard working half as much deserve to make ten times as much? It is like if I was sitting on a golden throne, whining about how lazy my workers are, after all, it takes them how long to clean the mansion?
I am sorry, but when you have it easy and whine about how lazy those who work much harder than you are, ya simply need to STFU and get over yourself, and realize that your own arguments can be doubly applied to yourself. I guarantee the gp doesn't have to work ridiculous hours. And yes, I do have extensive leadership training.
nobody is implying that it is a need. But I have to say I love music, but would most certainly not buy it through major record labels. Download it illicetly and anonymously donate to artist, perhaps, but give to the bastards sharecropping artists? fuck no. And really, demand for good shit doesn't disappear.
Exactly. And belive me, I am constantly looking for the next opportunity. Constantly. I just get really worked up when people act like it is possible for everyone, like things will just turn around if you keep working. Sure them might, but chances are they wont, even if you have an IQ in the 97th percentile (which although good, isn't really that good, I mean, 2-3 out of every 100 people have a higher IQ, so its not exactly extraordinary or anything). Just imagine how a lot of people simply don't have that choice, who simply keep living in these conditions and don't get a chance out. Those who went to a shit school and never had the chance for scholarship.
I mean, just look back. In the 1950s, 1 single basic income could support a wife and 3-5 children. Now, 2 incomes can barely support 2 people, yet 3 to five, unless you have a big earner, one of them 50k+ folks. Basically, the hard work of the average person has become worth less and less, to the point where it is total bullshit, basically getting paid less than the cost of living working too many hours a week. That is what I am mad at. I don't believe we are entitled to things we don't earn, I just believe we are entitled to what we do earn. And that it should be easier to go to college, none of this "live in poverty for 4-8 years" bullshit. I guess 2 if ur just getting a shit degree. There is no reason you should be punished with poverty for doing the so called "right" thing and trying to get an education so you can make the world a better place.
The medical system in this country is a joke unto itself, there is no need to go to far into it, besides the fact that it is totally ineffective at treating anything at all severely overpriced, and totally fucking evil.
But do you get the point I am trying to make that it isn't as easy as simply doing more, when there is nothing you can do and you are trying everything possible despite debilitation painful health conditions ect. ect.? It doesn't have to be that way, there are ways to provide social protections so that bullshit doesn't happen and can be more easily fixed. Also, there is no reason that business and banks should own more wealth than the majority of the country, and no reason why the top few percent should own more than the bottom 95ish% of the people combined. I wouldn't care if they made that money honestly, by actually creating things or improving the world, making a new product or new song or something, but the problem is, the top few percent got that way simply by fucking up financial markets and stock trading. Even musicians and popular bands don't have that much money anymore. Most of them don't even make it into the 100k a year range.
Yea, I mean, those lazy assholes should totally spend that 20 bucks that could go towards food or heating or rent on an overpriced album instead. The greedy bastards thinking they are entitled to everything, they should rot in the fucking streets and starve to death, because they weren't born into money like I was, what the fuck were they thinking? Douche bags. We should totally hunt down every last one of them. *pure sarcasm*
Nice try, but bankruptcy can't erase student debt. It is either go into debt and get a real job and do something with my life, or get a shit job out of high school and make ends meat or live off the system for the rest of your life. Where is the option to get through college, get a good job, and do something good with your life without going into debt? It is only available to the rich. And right now I live in a motherfucking slum, living off ramen noodles. I live off the bare minimum, and am trying to get through college. And when I get out, I have no choice but to take whatever shit-ass job will hire me, and stick in such jobs until my debt is paid off. I will probably be 40 by then, having wasted more than half my life doing bullshit for assholes. So yes, there area slaves to debt in America. And those that don't go to college, often can't afford basic necessities and have to live in debt for a period of time, which is impossible to get out from under you.
Nice try though. Also, Fox is absolutely the worst, they actually report blatantly false information and don't take it back. MSNBC reports basically just opinion, but at least they don't fabricate facts, and CNN has past every last fact check I put it through, and is fairly opinion neutral. So get off your self-righteous horse and get over yourself.
I am trying to be. Like I said, in my little spare time I am an inventor, and I have invented a few really great products, but have you ever tried dealing with a big company? they are fucking EVIL! Literally, a Robert Bosch representative told me "alright, to submit an invention for possible business deal, you need to send us all of the information pertaining to your invention. Also, if it is patented, you need to sign over patent rights to us before we will look at it. We will not sign any kind of non-disclosure agreement with you" Now tell me, how am I supposed to make money on something when businesses treat me like that? I don't exactly have the capital to produce and sell them myself! But I still work my ass off every day to find companies that won't fuck me over so I can try to sell to them. So far that has literally been 2 companies, one of which said no, the other of which has had a representative on overseas vacation for a month. And believe it or not, I do quite awesome thing when I can to improve my worth and get myself known.
Believe it or not, typically I am very happy and friendly. I just get tired of people saying that life is easy and even with the smallest skill set I should be fine when I work my ass off every day of my life and live in a slum eating mostly ramen noodles.
Yea, potential for what? It will still take me 10-20 years I have to live in debt slavery before I can do anything interesting with my life. When I get out of college I will have almost 125k in debt, and I am living in slums, eating for 30 bucks a week, and freezing my ass off all winter to live cheaper. Plus, the job market isn't even that friendly to college graduates anymore. At this rate, I haven't accomplished anything other than selling my soul to Sallie Mae student loans and destroying my body working hard enough to stay in school in the honors program. I am certainly not getting 125k worth.
Except for the fact that I am a very positive person and I spend most of my time trying to make the world a better place and improve myself, as if sycraft-fu was actually right about something. And really, I wasn't whining so much as I was furious at mr. Just work harder and your problems will disappear. If I worked any harder I would have a mental breakdown and then be totally fucked, which almost happened to me around may of this year I was working so hard. And I did get to watch my Mother lose her mind after working 80 hour weeks. I would rather not go down that same road.
videos exactly like that already exist all over youtube. I am not into redundant efforts, and don't feel like hanging myself out for the rabid attack dogs that want to have Glenn Becks babies to harass.
I am a full time college student, and all of my spare time is full of work and effort to make my life better so that I can do something. I know how to to CNC machining, I know moldflow and virtual prototyping, I am proficient at premier pro and photo-shop, and I have extensive leadership training. I do as much as I possibly can, I don't believe I am entitled to anything, but right now I work my ass off from sunrise to sunset, and get jack shit for it. I believe I am at least entitled to get fairly reimbursed for what I do, so go fuck yourself, what, do you work 5 hours a day 4 days a week? You don't deserve a cent of what you make you douche-wagon.
See, you not only don't know how to read, but jump up on all the typical bullshit. For starters, I am trying. I have been trying, I go to college all day, work in my spare time, and I have been working on several inventions, and trying to sell them in what time I have left. I work my ass off every day of my life, and yet have no choice but to live in debt slavery, no matter how hard I try to fix shit. And I do all of that with Cluster Headaches, the most painful medical condition known to medicine. Most of the time I am working to improve my situation, but I wasn't born into money, so I will still be living in debt slavery working at some corporate giant giving away my expertise for a tiny ass paycheck watching my ideas and ingenuity going to make the world worse instead of better.
Also, I like what Fox says, I WISH it were true. But it is a load of bullshit that keeps hard working people like me inpoverished and overworked while getting nothing back. I am also an eagle scout and spead a good deal of time doing voluntary community service.
At least those people can Afford to go to a 3rd world country to fix it. I could live for a month of the cost of a plane ticket, and I frequently have to. Now is it ok to whine while at the same time doing everything to get into a better situation? Yes it is you ignorant jack ass. go back to living the easy life getting mad that the poor people who work 20 hours a day are so lazy. Fuck you.
That is right, in America, I am free to live in debt slavery until I die from a simple medical condition I can't pay for. That is pretty much how it goes unless you are born into money, or happen to be in the 99.99th percentile of people in your city, the 1 or 2 people that actually get out and do something with their lives. You try accomplishing something when you can barely pay your bills working your ass off every single fucking night.
When 1% of the country owns 95% of its assets, they can easily out-finance political campaigns and win any election. Just look at Fox news, successfully spouting total lies (don't believe me, just watch 10 minutes, write everything down, and painstakingly fact check it. I have spent more than 8 hours doing this, and have not found a single truth on that channel), and yet, despite the lies, a large number of people believe everything they say totally without question. You try fixing a system that fucked up, I have been trying my whole life.
Well, I guess you have never heard of the CRO then, which gets billions in funding to research legislative ideas and come up with the best possible answers to problems, just to be scrapped because a guy from a bank told a senators aid something to make himself more money.
That is precisely because corporations and banks hold 60% of all of the property and assets in the country. Out of the 40% remaining, 95% of it is owned by the top 5% of the country. When the people collectively own about 1% of the wealth in the country, how can we ever out buy them?
sure sucky for us, but life begins in oceans. If it starts on the oceans of planet G, and then adapts to land, we will likely find different kinds of organisms. If trees developed in 3g for example, they would have to have incredibly strong branches and bases. Also, with steady winds always in the same direction at the same point, there would be opportunities for different kinds of things to develop. at.5g, likely land thingys would be much looser in form, like a kind of surface jellyfish.
Also, on this planet I would imagine life would originate in the windy, stormy grey areas where the temperature is steady and good for life, if it develops and spreads like on earth, it will adapt to the hot and cold sides. There would likely be chemosynthetic life on the cold side with an ecosystem based on it, and likely enormous photosynthetic life on the hot side, with intelligent life forming on the grey area or in the bizarre cold ecosystem, which due to darkness would likely not involve sight but maybe echolocation or some such things.
Is it right for people? hell no. but it could be right for something. Additionally, if intelligent life develops radio or some other form of communication, then communication back and forth would take only 20 years. Imagine what we could learn from them and them from us. Basically just send a message saying "send us as much information about you and your people as is possible, biology, probes, climate, everything, and we do the same back". It would be fascinating.
But keep in mind it will likely take much longer to get intelligent life on a planet when only a ring around it is usable for functional evolution. Navigating would be easy and there would be interesting religions.
Yea, thats great, as soon as we can go the speed of light. Even with relativistic speeds of 0.1c, it would take us 200 years to get there, and it is more likely we would be stuck around.01c if that. At that point, we could get a probe there in 2000 years. And communications will take 20 years both ways, so to ensure they don't break we should send a large fleet of them. Of course, then there is the problem that if we discover intelligent developed life there in 2000 years, they will think aliens are invading their planet and destroy all our probes. Oh dear, what a conundrum.
Yea, the concept of justice being what the majority wants is a bit scary, but as long as the remainder of the due process is kept very tight and strong, I think this would be great.
To your second paragraph: Thats why we have due process. It is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Although now a days, it is innocent if rich. Guilty until hell freezes over otherwise.
You don't seem to get it. They already have more rights than people, even public companies. A publically traded LLC has more freedoms than I do, and virtually no consequences. When a corporation is turned over to the government and its assets are liquidated as tax profit when they committ a crime, or are barred from doing business for x number of years, then sure, give them almost some of the right. But not as much as real, flesh and blood people. Hell, corporations can marry other corporations, they already have more rights than gay people.
To be honest, I bank with Bank of America just because of the convenience of their online banking and locations around the many different places I live, have lived, and routinely pass through. I have never had any issues, I get quite a decent interest rate, and can easily send and receive funds securely, and the branch workers have been nothing but friendly. Even when I take out inordinately large numbers of quarters.

I'd say it does hold water. Apparently a ton of it on the surface, where life could grow. Now wasn't that interesting?
you just like to bitch about things and people and hate on torrenting don't you? you sound like you need to get laid.
Yea, the concept of justice being what the majority wants is a bit scary, but as long as the remainder of the due process is kept very tight and strong, I think this would be great.
Very true, but modern corporate entities are given all the liability, even from the employees except in the absolute most extreme circumstances.
To your second paragraph: Thats why we have due process. It is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Although now a days, it is innocent if rich. Guilty until hell freezes over otherwise.

Even when I take out inordinately large numbers of quarters.
