i would rather live in a tent in the woods than with me parents now..

but fortunately, i grow enough weed to keep that from being an issue yet

very sad for my generation, so many people are materialist, yet so few have money or a good job.

My mother made an interesting point a few years ago I wont forget. For people that live at home and have lots of bad debt they sure do have a of of shit. Maybe they could afford health insurance if they stopped buying iSHIT, and x-boxes.

Don't try to confuse me

Don't try to confuse me

could it have anything to do with the fact that in 1970 US CEO's made 28 times as much as the average worker & yet in 2005 that has ballooned in that they made 465 times the average worker?

US companies have rewarded their executives and share holders by holding back american wages, keeping workers broke and hungry & worried about outsourcing of jobs.

Suddenly health care insurance costs become too excessive to be afforded by the average worker, the value and cost of real estate rise making housing affordable to some but certainly not as many in decades prior. Rent costs are crazy & without any equitable return, it's no wonder kids are moving back & their folks are likely inviting them to do so.

Don't wonder and do any real amount of finger pointing at the unfortunate living w/their folks, do you really think that's the way they want it to be?

With your facts. Surely they have created more than 465 jobs. LOL

The one thing I have noticed is the younger generation seems to be much more unwilling to move for work than past generations.

There is currently an oil boom up in western North Dakota. Someone young with ambition could easily sell whatever he had to buy a $5-10k RV. Drive it up to the oil fields, live in that bitch like half of the other people up there (In fact most are in pickup trucks, an RV is pimpin) You can easily find a job paying $15-20hr with potential of 80hrs/week if you want the overtime. Combine that with cost of living at roughly 400-500$/month.

Working $20/hr and 80hrs/week brings in 7500$/month profit at 500$/month in food/gas/other expenses. (before you get raped without lube by the tax man of course)

With the potential of clearing 50k+ per year profit after taxes, You can easily save up enough money to start your dream business, or buy yourself some land in only a couple years!

*This is all especially true if you are willing to bust ass directly on at the drill/well sites, or have mechanics skills to work on truck because there are no pipelines, and the fuel is all moved by trucks. But even Mcdonalds is starting people at $15/hr

The actual producers in this country are shit on. You should not have to work 80 hours a week to make 50,000 dollars a year. especially shouldn't work for the dip shit oil companies. They are the new catholic church.

You cant even live in a decent apartment and make less than 50g a year in the bay area, and that is if you are single. Imagine living in fucking NYC.

International Corporations are the death of liberty.

At least the rich guys eventually die and some of their stuff gets redistributed.

Corporations live forever until they are absorbed into a larger corporation which lives forever. Nothing gets returned to society. Everything goes to the shareholders.

It's the new slavery. But now you get a paycheck so that you can "own" your own slave quarters. Slaves who feel free are so much less likely to lynch the landlord.

Air Conditioning Afghanistan Troops Costs $20 Billion Per Year; Cost of One Soldier is $1 Million a Year; Hotel California

United States Goverment has mad money....its just wasted on Empire Buidling rather than taking care of its own... If we cut or military spending and stopped fucking up the world.. America could pave roads of Gold from here to OZ and not even blink twice .... this country is rich as fuck.... Instead of wasting all this money on war.. we could put mad people back to work.. and have them rebuild our weak sauce infrastructure and develop new highways/roads...

but no.... giving the fact China is holding out on 95% of the Earths rare minerals used in high tech equipment... we had to kick the Soviets out of Afghanistan and then go attempt to steal that Trillion Dollar supply of rare minerals for ourselves... so all in all..... blame our whack ass goverment and the whole system in general... The right Education is the key to everything..

Actually the oil companies brought in a glut of workers. Now they need more of EVERYTHING. Bartenders, strippers, gas station employees, fast food employees, drug dealers mechanics, pizza delivery drivers, slum lords, truck salesmen etc.

The actual producers in this country are shit on. You should not have to work 80 hours a week to make 50,000 dollars a year. especially shouldn't work for the dip shit oil companies. They are the new catholic church.

I was talking about making 50g after taxes and living expenses. Of course you shouldn't have to work 80 hours a week, nor would I want to. But I was just pointing out that there are still options out there for someone who wants to put their nose to the grindstone.

You also live in the bay area, probably the second most expensive place to live in the US. How much would you have to earn in a year to profit 50k after taxes and expenses every year there? I bet its damn near 150-200k.

Yea work my hands to the bone in a toxic soup 80 hours a week??

I'll stick to my 3k grow work no more tha 5 hours a week an clear 50k a year easy...

At the start of the thread you said you had no idea where else to get a job besides growing, now you know something else just in case

 

[GET MO]

Yeah theres jobs up north in the mines that pay stupid high, but nobody wants to move up to the middle of nowhere and work they ass off. everybody wanna be a rapper or a movie star, but nobody wanna pass out flyers or take acting classes...

and this too:

Shit thats how a lot of imigrants come up they all stay in one house till they got enough money stacked to buy ALL of um a house. then when they all got they own houses they fill um back up with relatives and do it again. If only us american born new how to be group orientated, we (not speaking for myself but americans in general, well, myself too in a way) are all about being independant from one another and doing things by ourselves.

 

[hippie_lettuce]

After living with my parents for a little over a year I've had it. My fiance and I have saved money and we are going to look for some property.
My dad said something today which really pissed me off, "You'll probably come back." NO, I will do everything in my power not to - and this means a lot, because I have willpower.

They also think my fiance's a loser for smoking cannabis. Ah well, can't change an alcoholic's mind.

 

[Tronic]

Y'all are nuts. The REAL money is in healthcare / private medical services for all these baby boomers.

I'M sure as hell not going to be wiping their ass for them / giving them insulin / driving them to the clinics by the busload, but i WILL have a shit eating grin on my face as i take all their money.

Capitalism folks.. isn't it great? They fuck us... now we get to fuck them.

^exactly. Then, when you tell many of these people they are basically slaves they get pissed off and defensive of "tha massa." Cause Massa is a good massa, and he only beats me every once in a while. If I juz do what Massa want I get da bed sheets and da chickin, and da melon......

Bascially a nation of "good ones" as massa woulda called dem.

I have said it before and I will say it again. The American government does not permit freedom except for the wealthiest class aka themselves. Everyone else gets the illusion of freedom through multiple choice. Of course George Carlin was the the most recent public person to point this out.

 

[s13sr20det]

what about the people getting into houses they cant afford, and then losing their jobs which led to them losing their houses and moving in with their kids? how many of those are in that statistic?

 

[mrcreosote]

I got a sweet gig photographing the inside of peoples houses for Google maps.

Won't it be great when they add your X-rays to your address too?
