Good evening, wagies! How was your 48 hours of freedom? I hope you ingested enough alcohol, drugs, naturemaxxed, or whatever to relieve a little stress and forget about the bleak future in store for wagies.

It looks like the banks have all been caught gambling again and will need even more taxpayer money to stay afloat LMAO. But let's talk about good news - This year is going to DESTROY every record in the book for corporate profits. Mr. Noseberg and Mr. Shekelstein have soooo much money now, it's like that scene in narcos where Escobar uses stacks of 100's as kindling. Actually, that would be quite good for our economy.

Remember when Trump said the ONLY way to "save the economy" was to print trillions of dollars and give 85% to corporations and rich people? Looks like the mega corps are doing GREAT.


Car makers are doing just fine. LOL if you think they are ever going to increase supply back to the old days. Now that they've figured out how to collude with each other, you will pay FULL MSRP from now on.



Gas is back to >$5/gallon prices, projected to go even higher. How are the oil companies doing?

Oh, RECORD profits


HEY LOOK OVER THERE, TRANNIES PLAYING SPORTS! Meanwhile Exxon is executing the biggest buyback in history to pump the executives' stock options LMAO @ plebs srs



Even the wall st journal is getting a little concerned lol


Meanwhile, wagie incomes are basically flat, you get NOTHING


How much lower can your purchasing power go, wagies?



In summary:

I've got one of the most cush jobs there is working in Broadcasting. I watch TV all day and goof off on the internet at work sometimes, too.

I am seriously considering getting a van or something to live in and try to get on disablity or something (I have things wrong with me) and just bail and travel and hang out in Slab City, California for awhile after the hot Summer ends.

I see a bunch of rotters at the park every day. All they do is fish at the local stocked ponds, eat cheap food, and shoot the breeze. I can respect that, one even has a girlfriend somehow.

They are broke, but at least they are free of their wagie chains. They will probably live to be 100.

it might not make me a lot of money right now or some day but this is exactly why i have been out of a w2 job for 6 months...... cuz of this chit and the 8 to 5 life. i make ends meet as is without a lot extra but i also dont have some fuktard telling me what to do 40hrs a week or be put on night shift, thru the weekend 5 days a week. fuk that schedule with a big rubber dik.

i would however be alright with it if they were 12hr shifts but everyones too much of a pussy to wanna work those.

OP, you ever wonder what you could achieve of you spent your time bettering yourself as opposed to making the same thread over and over?
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I made a thread the other day, feels like life is passing me by. It definitely sucks, like we're halfway through 2023.

There's really no way out of wagecel besides starting your own business. Right now I'm too dumb to figure out what business I'd try.

As far as being a NEET is concerned...I have a secondary plan of taking out huge student loans to live on, and just stay in school as long as I can; getting degree after degree and staying forbearance until I die. I'm alread 51, so that is feasable.

So not really a NEET, but a NET.

there is no way out besides winning big on lottery.

there are dudes at my work who are entry level dudes and have been for 15-20+ years. the longest guy is 35years. 1 guy quit but came back cuz his monthly earnings were basically cut in half when he retired - SAD!

Jakes on you I have an 820 credit score you fkn loser. Lolol

Spoiler!
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

The worst is when you take 2 weeks off and just start to get into a groove and feel what life is actually supposed to be like.

And then the 6:00AM alarm on Monday morning hits you like a cinder block in the face and you briefly consider suck starting a shotgun instead of kissing your boss' ass even one more day.

Any tard can do a service biz. Need very little knowledge or money to do stuff like carpet cleaning, window tinting, landscaping, dog walking, and a million other things. You're not going to be a CEO $10k/day, but you can get the fukk out of the rat race at least.

My landscaper doesn't even speak english. He charges $100/hr and I have to text with his son. Not an easy life, but he'd be making minimum wage at taco bell otherwise.

Does that guy have more skills than you? You can't possibly compete with people who have no skills, no education, and don't even speak the local language?

True, I'm trying to think of something long term though.
