I seriously feel like a hostage to this country and that we were all just born in a giant fuckin penal colony
It's called Learned Helplessness. You are none of those things but the news wants you to believe you are ... well unless you live in Korea, Canada, Australia, New Zealand ... a few others ... yea then you're kinda fucked.
Eh. Maybe. Idk. It’s hard to tell when life is just work/clean/sleep and nothing ever changes or improves. My bank account always stays the same. Bills come in and I’m right back where I was the week before. It’s a vicious cycle with no end game or anything to look forward to sometimes and it’s suffocating
@ChikaFujiwara @djsumdog @Godcast There are incremental things you can do to budgetmaxx, like take a hard look at both income and spending, try to understand where every penny goes every month, then think of both small and big changes you can make to eke out even just a small surplus by the end of each month, which will eventually give you enough savings to make even better long term decisions like paying for car insurance every 6 months instead of every month.

But yeah overall it's fucking terrible and even after doing the above, you cannot escape stagnant wages for 40 years without changing your career.
@johnbudd1350 @ChikaFujiwara @djsumdog @Godcast I do pretty good but i had an ER visit and even with insurance they wanted 2 grand upfront. The system is designed too fuck you out of every cent because muh depresssion was caused by dumb goyim not throwing money into the stock market and not trusting the banks
@Boomerman @ChikaFujiwara @djsumdog @Godcast Bankman and FTX is just a visible symptom of the ponzi scheme that we all live in
@johnbudd1350 @ChikaFujiwara @djsumdog @Godcast Really incredible that the media has just decided that that story is just not worth talking about.
@Boomerman @ChikaFujiwara @djsumdog @Godcast Well of course not, the goyim might get some dangerous ideas about international finance if they hear about how they're getting raped by it
@johnbudd1350 @ChikaFujiwara @djsumdog @Godcast I was in LA recently which is an expensive hellscape. I go to my hotels gift shop to get a monster. The cashier isnt there and no one is watching the shop. The only evidence that someone was actually working there was an open ipad on the counter. The ipad was open and had a bitcoin ticker. This guy while working was doing nothing but praying that his crypto would get him out of the shit job he has too do. This was like 2 days before ftx shit. I imagine there are millions of people like him. How are they gonna react when they realize theyll never get over the hump and theyre gonna work in a giftshop till the die. Crypto is the last vector of social mobility and now its been shown that the only way too really make any money with it is a scam.
@Boomerman @djsumdog @ChikaFujiwara @Godcast @johnbudd1350 this is what happened with my boss too when he's not putting on the mask of numbers go up he's surfing Bitcoin prices. A desk over, another wagie is talking about the Powerball tickets.
@Boomerman @djsumdog @ChikaFujiwara @Godcast @johnbudd1350 also at work: hearing wagies talk about 3-4 hours of sleep.

Like damn how much caffeine are you drinking.
