It's Suuuuuuunday night, wagecels! Wage growth edition!

How you feeling, wagies? Did you get to "recharge your batteries" before you head back to the salt mines tomorrow? By that I mean, did you drink enough booze to temporarily forget the feeling of the alarm that's going to jar you awake tomorrow?

Get all your shopping done? You know how literally everything costs more, sucks right? Well the bad news is that we're looking at 6%+ (translation: more like 15%-20% in real terms) for multiple more years, at the very least. Plus whatever extra profits Mr. Noseberg and Mr. Shekelstein decide to tack on.

TheOTHERbad news is that your owners also decided that you won't be receiving raises...pretty much ever. Imagine bragging about record profits on a conference call and then immediately telling all your wagies there's no budget for raises lmao.

Some stats! Look at how much worker productivity has grown. All that extra cash for your boss. From the economic policy institute:






The bottom 90% of workers have actually had their real wages decline 0.2% since 2020. Meanwhile the guys in the top 1% saw a massive increase, almost 20%. Over $35 trillion (and counting) has been transferred from the bottom 90% to the top 1% since pandemic.

https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2021


If you aren't at the very top (you're not), you are slowly getting turbo fukked into poverty a little more each year. It's extremely likely that any child born today is going to struggle with abject poverty their entire life.

Meth initially gained popularity as a trucker drug in the US.

The joke really is on us.

That's why my short term goal right now is to find a higher paying remote job with a flexible or decent schedule.

My current one is chill asf, but I'm looking at moving to a new city soon. Gotta work.

Miscers are top of the food chain, are we not? 6'4" 240 lbs LEAN, 8" dink, 180 IQ, MONEYMOGGING out of control, bang only the hottest sloots, etc.

Why wouldn't a miscer be able to run a small business?

The depression is creeping back fuarrrk.

It’s insane how good life is on the weekends compared to how fkin miserable it is Monday through Friday.

I can’t believe I have to live like this for another 38 years.
