I love my job and it pays me enough to not worry about it. The secret is living in any western country except the U.S.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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)

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

You're lying. British people are mentally incapable of admitting their faults when Americans are around.

Social worker in Switzerland here. I feel pretty OK :)

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.

Poverty rates in former USSR countries have bwen steadily declining since its downfall. Its still widespread but how is capitalism at fault for it?

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

That's not true, there are other countries with this problem like UK and Canada.

[-] Grimble@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is this sarcasm or are you just clueless?

[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

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.

What country do you live in?

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago
[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ah, the land of housing owned exclusively by foreign investors.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That's true in the U.S. as well in many cities. Chinese investors buy up huge numbers of apartments and houses.

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I'm so lucky I can just live with my parents 🥲

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

Can I pay rent? Also also no.

[-] grayman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The trick to not having to pay rent is to buy a house.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Then you pay mortgage instead of a rent. Plus property tax.

[-] grayman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Rent is just paying someone else's mortgage and property taxes.

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

How to save for a down payment when you can't even afford rent?

[-] grayman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Wells Fargo got you fam! PMI will only be like 10%!

[-] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Scott Morrison is that you?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Is “job person” a term now?

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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…

[-] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

This is just how language evolved. It is a human phenomena. The slang you picked up was also adapted from other phrases that someone of the older generation will deem more correct.

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, it seems like a typo. But you are old, too.

[-] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Do I even get paid for doing it? Also no.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

Beautiful servitude, how I love thee

[-] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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.
