Right, because there isn’t rampant capitalism and wide spread poverty pretty much everywhere else too… 🙄🙄🙄
(am in UK and you’re full of shit. I recommend checking your privilege, or at least taking your head out of your ass long enough to have a look around)
You’re lying. British people are mentally incapable of admitting their faults when Americans are around.

OY you got a loicence to order a privlage check? I thought not there good sir!
In the name of the king, you are fined an indeterminate number of pounds, and required revisit your bogus claim.
Social worker in Switzerland here. I feel pretty OK :)
Poverty rates in former USSR countries have bwen steadily declining since its downfall. Its still widespread but how is capitalism at fault for it?
That’s not true, there are other countries with this problem like UK and Canada.
Yeah no way could you leave out Canada lmao. As soon as i graduate i’m fucking moving.
Western Europe? Scandinavia? China? Uhh Albania? No idea yet. As long as it’s not this soulless nightmare petrostate. Fuck the rent here and fuck the work culture.
🙄 the US has plenty of not the majority of high paying jobs. Working in high skill STEM pays absurdly good.
It’s like skill jobs that get fucked.
The absolute number doesn’t matter much if the expenses of living in the STEM-riddled areas are just as high, if not higher.
Remote work fixes that for many people
Source: me, hi, I work remotely to LA and get paid absurd wages
And Europe isn’t expensive to live? Canada? Australia? All of them have very high CoL in population centers. Especially tech hubs. The only place that’s significantly out of whack is CA and to be honest, much of the time it’s still worth it. Go remote and get the best of both worlds is quite common and easy.
Lol Canada is like the most expensive place on the fuckin planet
Ridiculously expensive housing without the salaries to match. But at least I don’t have to worry about going broke if ever someone in the family gets sick I guess.
If you get sick you just die, at least here in Victoria. There are no doctors and and people are dying of untreated cancers hahahah man life’s good in Canada
Is this sarcasm or are you just clueless?

He’s right though, live in western Europe and I got both the time and money to enjoy life.
Even the poorest in my country have a “right to vacation”, special programs allow them to travel for barely any money.
And Canada.
Ah, the land of housing owned exclusively by foreign investors.
That’s true in the U.S. as well in many cities. Chinese investors buy up huge numbers of apartments and houses.
I’m so lucky I can just live with my parents 🥲
What country do you live in?
Can I pay rent? Also also no.
The trick to not having to pay rent is to buy a house.
Then you pay mortgage instead of a rent. Plus property tax.
How to save for a down payment when you can’t even afford rent?
Do I even get paid for doing it? Also no.
Just find a job which you love and which pays a lot, problem solved!
Unironcally. I think is what to do but backwards. You should try out the paths that lead toward the best paid jobs until you find the one you like the most. People get top caught up on finding their “dream job.” Your team, the company, and the culture will have a bigger impact on your mental health than the tasks anyway
I can confirm that this works. It’s what I did and I’m a lot happier than when I worked a job with an average salary.
Is “job person” a term now?
People just HAVE to keep changing established terms to feel special, I guess. For example, I’ve noticed people used to say “X got that Win!”, then it changed to “Y fr earned that W”, and today I saw someone say “Z deserved that dub”.
Wonder what the next evolution could possibly be…
I guess I’m just old.
Nah, it seems like a typo. But you are old, too.
Fur real

Work culture is being tuned to the point that everyone is miserable in it except those that find the work itself to be pleasure in a “hustlegrind sigma mindset” culty way.
Beautiful servitude, how I love thee

I guess you want everything for free huh?
I mean… yes? Who doesn’t want everything for free? Who likes to pay for things? There’s a reason people jump at the chance to get free stuff.
Or just cheap stuff. That is why they trample each other to death on black friday.

I’ve saved enough to quit working, but I keep working for health insurance and the capitalist money hoarding mentality. In my mind I know I’d be happier retiring early, but my lifetime of hoarding won’t allow me to endure the opportunity cost.
