@ferrarilegends it's really common for some reason to see Arabs as lazy and not wanting to work (in fairness, nobody wants to work, honestly) but the harsh fact is that they're strongly protective of the "life" in "work life balance". They find it really strange that White people have been duped into working more than 40hrs a week and then treating it as a flex. @n8
@ferrarilegends Funny enough a buddy of mine agreed with this. "sure we were poor as shit but at least we were experiencing a life more than 2 days every week or so, and then 10 years before we die."
Fuck me that's brutal.
@n8
@ferrarilegends see, I used to think it was laziness, now I realize it's just giving a shit about the quality of your life. @n8
@ferrarilegends It's also worth noting how annoyingly narrow the definition of family is in the USA. In the Middle East and Asia "family" is broad as fuck. In the USA they have to preface with "extended family" if it's not your immediate family which is dumb. @n8
@ferrarilegends I had to explain to someone that this is why "rich people houses" are traditionally very huge. You had your family, probably your spouse's family as well. If you needed them, servants and maybe their families. So you had a shit ton of people and a 5 bedroom house won't cut it.
People are mocking young Americans for living at home but to Southern Europeans, most Asians and Arabs that's completely normal. The issue isn't that we're "childish" the economy just fucking sucks.
@n8
@ArdanianRight Yes. I'm 98% sure they've infested this area. It's not because I don't want to move out, it's just becoming more and more impossible every year. @cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8 @wgiwf
@ArdanianRight Pre-pandemic a 1 bedroom apartment was 350~400$ (depending on what part of the building, etc.) Now it's 600$. Keep in mind that there's artificial staffing shortages all over the damn place and good luck getting a job that will pay for that (lol, you'll need 2 or 3). @cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8 @wgiwf
@ArdanianRight
Oh! I forgot some additional notes:
- utilities are probably not included! I live in a state with really cold winters and humid as fuck summers. Lol
- Oh what if you get sick or injured? Shitty state health insurance won't do much so that costs $$$$
@cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8 @wgiwf
@wgiwf See, this is why I'm rejected by most "leftists" for one simple reason: I'm against (non-white) immigration. It hurts the working and middle classes, but apparently that's taboo to say. Why would your boss bother giving you good working conditions when he can hire someone who will work for next to nothing. @ArdanianRight @cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8
@wgiwf Because they saw the power the working class has when it unites against a common enemy, they don't want us thinking about that ever again. @ArdanianRight @cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8
