Real steam of consciousness Monday morning sitting at my desk bs but just been stewing on some real first-ish world problems of living in a system that was completely rigged by the time I was fully conscious of what was going on and became a participant of it. As someone that entered “the real world” at 20 I feel like I caught the very tail end of let’s call it pre-late stage capitalism where there was some optimism of following the right path and you will be rewarded but of course when you’re on the bottom of the totem pole there aren’t really any fruits of your labor it’s just getting by and moving up by being patient and working hard

Fast forward 12 years later and s*** has changed so quickly that as someone who has done all the right things and kept my nose down just worked hard try to go the extra mile you’re looking around like where did the opportunity and promise go? How do people that are of the 1% live with themselves knowing that they’ve robbed literally millions of people blind before they were even able to realize it. Then you got people STILL championing these people like “one day they’ll trickle it down to us” meanwhile people barely scraping by and those people get shamed for it.

End of the day I’m very blessed that my problems are minor comparatively and it feels very selfish to even complain from where I’m at but still s*** kind of blows me sometimes that we all just keep it moving like this big ass elephant in the room isn’t growing larger every day. Much love to anyone that takes the time to read this keep doing you regardless of your situation because that’s really all we can do

Pass me whatever OP smoking on

#420

Been having this feeling all year, so many people defend this current system despite the exponential disparity between the richest and everyone else since covid and the cycle continues

It's mad depressing, maybe 40% need to lose their jobs to AI before things change

I can’t smoke my job d*** tests me randomly because apparently what I do on my own time is their business

amen op. the rich have siphoned trillions from the bottom up and we still got ppl saying its a moral failing if u poor. f***in stupid bums. whole s*** gonna come down one day and nobody gettin out alive

I had a dream about a president promising billionaires more tax cuts and then when they get in office flip th script on them and try a “trickle up” experiment of taxing the ultra rich more and taxing normal people less

Acknowledge the problem.
Identify what you can change.
Play Yeezus.
And go take over the world.

Breh its rough as f*** out here. Im in between jobs doing instacart and its become so insanely competitive. If i didnt have my parents sending me money i woulda been had to move back in months ago

More randumb thoughts...

Damn near every job I take I instantly realize how much I'm being exploited and want out. I don't be understanding how people be content in staying in certain roles for so long... or maybe their options are limited. I be three months in any ready to resign, lol.

Can't wait until I get licensed and start working for my damn self and putting in half the work and still getting paid more.
