i wasted almost all of my 20s doing nothing and getting a worthless degree. I don't have debt but im 31 and i just got a warehouse selecting job for 22/hr. I can already tell its miserable slave labor with 10+ hour shifts.

I tried to find a place with reasonable rent nearby and of course the only places with reasonable rent involve a 1+ hour commute. Until I get a get some kind of rental document + a paystub i can't take a drivers test to get a license. Everything just has to be as a gay and time consuming as possible.

Its straight up horror, and the only way i can escape it is to go spend the money and time to get """skills""" they i don't even want or care about so that i can make more money for my time and afford a less horrid existence.

I literally can't enjoy my life in this position

 No.256425

I might not be able to get the money for a degree. I could get an apprenticeship but the pay would be much worse (even succubi earn more there) although you do mostly the same and obviously spend the same amount of hours. Which also makes it less realistic to get away with part-slavery. All while everything and especially the necessitues get more expensive and I still don't have a driver license.

Why are normalfags so cruel? I work in a factory with several succubi of varying ages and they shit talk everyone, then one of the succubi complained about not feeling well and left. As soon as she was gone, the others started shit talking her, including some dudebro who joined in shitting on her for malingering. I know it's just a succubus but I feel bad because she is trapped in the wage cage like everyone else, no one can cope, I listen to them, including the "alpha male dudebro" talking about all the psychoactive drugs they've tried and how they felt on each. This shit genuinely makes me think Brave New World is the ideal and we should breed braindead biobots for factory work and most wagie work so that it is done by someone who doesnt really experience reality, who isn't really conscious. The wetware that enables coordination adequate for menial work shouldn't require consciousness should it? Ants seem to get along just fine and they are, as far as we know, unconscious.

I'm in an endless cycle of getting fired from jobs for mental illness and it's exhausting. Have to keep working to survive but can't be a good employee and keep up with everyone else because I'm mentally ill.

There's so many bills. I seem to make a lot but it never makes me any better off. Trying to keep this cycle going is very taxing. I wish there was a way to get off this ride. Like even 'high paying jobs' that are somewhat attainable still don't pay you enough to get ahead without somehow managing to save for decades.

I want to see if there's overlooked careers that make substantially more money so I don't have to work as much. I have a few good ideas.

This is why I live with my parents and am grateful every day for that opportunity. I think I would have unironically kmsed. I'm sorry you're stuck with so many bills. This is one of the many upsides of being a normfag with a live in succufriend they share a bedroom with as opposed to normal roommates who want to sleep separately requiring a larger apartment. but of course I don't want that. It's literally a wiz tax of like 300 to 500 a month when you think about it.

Disclaimer: talking about money can upset people if they are being paid less than other people so its not my intention to upset people with this post.

So basically, what I'm thinking is that for remote tech jobs its not too hard to be paid 100 - 200k. Most 'startups' will pay in this range. But I've been wondering what tech jobs pay significantly higher than that? Arbitrarily, 500k and upwards? I've been doing some research and what I've learned is:

1. Mostly the salary stays the same at jobs but engineers also get 'RSU' that vest each month or w/e that add to their pay. The RSUs are highly liquid and can be sold instantly for cash, bringing some engineers total compensation up to absurd levels.

2. At the big tech companies you can start as a basic engineer and work your way up to higher pay grades to earn a shit load. But this won't be viable for me because of how hard they work you. A person like me just wouldn't survive at such companies. Plus, it would require studying algorithms on sites like leetcode for 6 - 12 months just to pass their interviews.

3. C*O is another option – but these positions are scarce and really only open to people with prior experience. The chances of getting such a position are rare. So also not an option.

4. Which brings us to what I'm thinking. Certain rare skills in tech can be billed out to companies for an absurd hourly rate. Cobol is an example. Cobol runs on mainframes in the banking industry and there's a shortage of engineers who know it. So I'm looking at Cobol jobs.

5. Another example is people who work in trading. Certain engineers who work on 'trade engines' and can optimize code for 'high frequency trading' can earn 500k or more per year.

6. Back to the RSU thing – if you can find positions that actually offer RSUs then you can bring your total compensation up significantly. How many new engineers even know to look for this though? Most jobs don't list this but if you search for it they do.

7. If you specifically search by high salary on different job platforms you can find many different tech jobs that are possibilities. If you have diverse skills you may be qualified for some of these positions. Again, not everyone is good at searching for job opportunities and knows what to look for. There seems to be a huge difference between searching for average, high-paid engineer positions (100 - 200k) and ones that pay 500k or higher.

8. There used to be websites dedicated towards 'Google Hacking' – basically using complex Google queries to uncover interesting stuff. You can do the exact same stuff to find high paying jobs if you know what you're looking for.

These are my thoughts on getting a job that pays 500k+. These opportunities are out there, but you have to know what you're looking for and what questions to ask. Companies will always try pay you the least they can get away with. If you don't bring up RSUs and other forms of compensation they won't give it to you. But it's also best to find companies that are already known to offer them so you don't waste your time.

The economy is a scam. At my previous job I was doing 100 different things and made systems that saved a ton of time. Yet the president barely gave me a raise from my original intern wage. Now my old supervisor emails me almost every week begging me for help. I almost feel bad leaving my work there unfinished but the wage plus cost of gas wasn't worth it.

Once I had the degree + two years work experience I got flooded by job offers. I accepted a remote job as a software tester. I've been doing it for over two months now, and almost every day I have nothing at all to do. On the rare occasion I do have a task it's piss easy. A literal monkey could do it. It just enrages me. People who are actually productive barely get by while these corporate dipshits are getting paid six figures to play with their dicks all day; all because they jumped through the right hoops. We need a full scale economic collapse to set this bullshit right.

just earlier this day i heard about underwater welding, specifically guys who do whats called "saturation diving". you have to live in a compressed chamber cut off from the outside world so that you dont have to decompress every time you come up from a dive and you live in that little pod for weeks at a time with a bunch of other retards. on top of already ruling out most normalfags from the job and requiring an already hard to find skillset you can also die in the most horrific ways imaginable like imploding or getting sucked into a tiny hole by thousands of pounds of water rushing to equalize a pressure differential. you also have to worry about what the repeated compression and decompression does to the body along with the helium excessive helium you have to breathe in long term.

with all factors considered it makes sense that you see sources claiming the job pays 30-45k a month.

Parents are angry about me for not getting a job/pursuing further qualifications. I already have a degree although it's not that great on it's own.

I don't live in 1st world so I can't just get a random easy job that pays decently to afford rent. But at the same time fuck paying rent man idk how ppl justify this, It's all so cucked and pathetic.

I don't get what they want from me, like 80% of the youth here still lives with their parents, the few lucky ones with great skills or brains have already left the country or make decent amount to afford rent(mainly the CSfags).

If parents keep pestering me then I'll probably just leave and off myself, ever since I learned about sodium nitrite I'm no longer that much scared about suicide.

But at the same time, I'm really upset because I feel like they're angry for me for literally no reason. Don't they know that ppl work for 200$ a month and they also want me to toil away like that? I get it, I'd have to wage at some point but why NOW??

I used to work at this startup and everyone there was like a turbo wagecuck robot. Every day the work day would start like this: people would get ready as quick as possibly and basically rush out of bed to get to the office. This would be about 8 am. Then they would stay there until night time, about 8 pm or later.

I'd literally be going to bed and there would be people still working at the office. The fucked up thing was they would be proud of how hard they were working. The company had managed to create the perfect culture of wage cucks who were proud to be visibly killing themselves for the company.

You may be thinking there was some point to them doing this? But actually no, there was no overtime at that company so all that additional work they were doing was for free. Why are normies like that? Why are people so quick to let companies take advantage of them? Or are they just so naive they aren't aware of this? You'll notice this is very common now. How normies like to brag about how much they're working. It's become popular to have no work-life balance.

Not him, but I did some little research or study on my own, about how people, especially succubi react to wizardly things.

The result is that being a virgin is actually not that serious. I told some succubi the truth, that I'm a virgin (mid 20s apprentice) and although they were surprised at first or even laughed at me they didn't really give a shit about it. So while it is weird to normals they don't particularly care about it, it is only on 4chan or pol or r9k or in general on the internet where male virgins are mocked constantly (by wannabe alpha males). Now, as for what is the serious stuff: never, ever mention to anyone that you have or had "mental problems", especially not that you had to spend time in psychiatry or you tried to kill yourself. In my experience this is the part when 8 out of 10 normalfag will frown at you and start to look at you as though you are some freak or psycho. The amount of negative treatment you can receive as someone who had depression or suicide attempts is just incredible. People fanatically hate those who tried to kill themselves, probably because they are reminded by this person that life isn't all sunshine and rainbow. People treated me almost like some criminal after I told them about my failed suicide attempts.

All in all, I don't see any value to telling the truth to normals. On the other hand, telling lies to them and presenting a fake persona to them can help you greatly in life. So, just lie! Seriously.

It's a legitimate tactic actually, but you don't have to change your behavior. The trick is to say you're pansexual (more exotic than saying bisexual) and non-binary (don't identify with any gender) but still prefer "he/him", so you basically act like a straight normal guy but get the perks of being part of an "oppressed" group that sounds exotic.

Why am I working. What am I working towards? I can't afford to move out and I'll never be able to afford to move out. When there is a pay rise it's below inflation so it's an imaginary step towards nothing. A smokescreen. What's the point? I'll forever be living at home with my aging parents who give me constant grief day in day out for still being here in my 30's. It's not like I can afford a fucking house you boomer cunts. The only way to move out in this day and age is to get a partner and split rent for some shitty one room apartment. I can't even do that as a single man. This isn't even a case of own nothing and be happy. I can't fucking AFFORD to own nothing. I look at other countries where you can be NEET and get your own fucking place paid for on bux but in my Victorian shithole I work 40+ hours a week minimum doing manual labour and I can't get that much. WHY? It gets me so fucking mad. I'd be happy with a small flat to call my own and die alone in but when my parents pass on I know I'll be living in a fucking cardboard box at this rate. I'm sure even slaves had it better than this.

when life is shitty for really really long, you become more and more tolerant of it. being an active member of society means attacking those that threaten your interests. your sister and her bf keeping you up? time to play mind games with mom and dad. this guy is threatening your sanity bro, keeping you up all night and ruining your sleep. you are the victim, they are the ones who want to destroy you and the authority (your parents). having a strange man in your home into the late hours of the night is very very dangerous. her boyfriend is an invasive presence and needs to be diligently removed.

Alternatively, would it be possible for you to sit down and talk to your sister about it? Not while he’s there, obviously. Explain how tired and depressed you are, tell her what you told us. I don’t know if you guys are close or if she’s reasonable, but perhaps it’s worth a shot. What the other wiz said is probably the more likely route, though it’s going to be tough to fight your family on this one. She’s going to be seen as the normal, well-adjusted one for having a romantic partner. I figure it’s worth trying the idealistic, sincere approach before resorting to petty squabbles.

It was a tiny startup that was having problems retaining people — even the CTO had left. I was basically building out an entire platform on my own, and was ~80% done. They made it out like I was being brought in for a senior role, and I was the most technically experienced person there, then once I had signed and given notice at my old job they tell me I’ll be reporting to this dude from a bootcamp with no real experience outside of the startup. He was understandably retarded and considered everything beyond stackoverflow spaghetti “overengineering” and got mad if you didn’t commit and write up what you did every day. He was super weird and passive-aggressive to me so I just bailed. They sperged out messaging me on every single platform they could find me on for weeks and weeks trying to get me to do free work for them and sign random bullshit. The weirdest part is that their main funding is from someone relatively famous in tech (which is part of why I even took the job).

Not explicitly. They vaguely hinted at either that or some title inflation and I ignored it since that’s how I’d been fooled into the job in the first place. Mainly they tried to frame it as some kind of mental health thing and that I just needed to take time off, and when I confirmed that no, I was not mentally ill and/or on drugs and yes, I was quitting without notice, they got pissed and started threatening to harass my professional contacts if I didn’t finish the project for free and sign some middle-school-tier document incriminating myself.

Of course, I think the gas stations in the desert will all be automated soon, but still, it seems like a perfect wizzie job.

The problem with people like you is you're looking for someone to tell you about an opportunity that requires no effort and pays well and when you can't find it you throw a hissy fit and say it's a scam.

The reality is you can get a good tech job without a degree because tech is an industry where you can easily demonstrate skills without a degree. Does that mean it will be easier than getting a degree? Maybe. You will still have to spend hundreds of hours learning and building a portfolio. Then you'll have to apply to jobs and be rejected at least 50 times before you have any bites (like everyone else.)

But the fact that it requires effort doesn't make it a scam. We aren't saying that you can take a short 'bootcamp' and then afterwards get a 6 figure job at a startup like many people. There is an entire industry of normies being exploited at the moment who honestly expect to get such jobs after forking out like 15k for short courses that will barely teach you javascript.

The conclusion from all this is: if you want a goal to work towards that is worthwhile, has good career prospects, high pay, isn't gated like many fields, and can be done with minimal interaction any where in the world- it would be hard to do better than tech. So long as your expectations are actually realistic.

 No.257834

>>257833
Tech is highly gated what are you talking about. You just outlined the ways that it is yourself.
On the flip side of the same coin. Tecnically many fields you can be very successful in if you just put in all the work to figure out everything for yourself and then show up with a firmhandshake and a nice body of work.

He didn't choose to be ugly or have a shit voice or Asperger's. Yet when he hovers near me to ask me something I intentionally ignore him til he says something.

The valuable and interesting people in life all make far more money. I deeply fucking regret not being obssessed with compsci in high school like the Asian "tech chads" I observed. Sorry to use that word and I don't mean succubus friendly I mean they were just impressive and they were jamming out scripts and knew 5 languages by 16. That felt like the real elite class of society.

And now with work from home there is such a clear dividing line between human and subhuman, with so few exceptions. If you drive to work for free you are being fucked in the ass. If you can work in your end on a laptop and make lunch at home, you are part of the elite class. I don't care what anyone says. There are very few exceptions to this, like onsite engineers.

I'm quite certain that's just a massive virtue signal out of desperation in order for companies to further increase their pool of candidates for the shit job being posted. Speaking of how society will always shit on the depressed, what's ironic is that last year on my night walk I saw a sign in my neighborhood for a night jogging marathon in order to increase awareness for depression and mental illness. Naturally I stayed home that night. I can't stand how much normalfags are narcissists.

Then on saturday and sunday I have a second job just to cover the bills. The only time I get a burst of energy is when I drink, usually I'm fucked to the point of falling asleep in the shower after work.

The thing is, this coursework is fucking -nothing- compared to menial wage work. It's like a respite. If I wasn't so mentally ill my entire life I'd have cruised right into the yuppie class and missed all this bullshit and have been one of those decadent pieces of shit I hate.

Knowledge workers have better working conditions but they also do jobs that have a higher barrier of entry, higher responsibility, higher intellectual requirements, etc. Pay isnt determined by how uncomfortable your job is, and this is rational from a free market, supply-and-demand perspective. If a genius upper management person only worked an hour a day to make a few decisions, those decisions might have billions of dollars impact and substantially affect the world. One software bug can affect billions of lives and multitudes of companies.

It is true that upper class people just easily end up in easy, higher paying jobs. Life isnt fair at all.

>IT jobs are now highly social

I really don't think the people who keep repeating this have ever worked for a startup before. I have worked for startups for the past 8 years and the process is basically autism-heaven:

>send email or message to company talking about ur experience

>message is read by CEO or CTO if its a small team
>they schedule an interview with calendly
>you 'attend' a virtual video chat with Google Meet
>you talk about your skills and the company
>many startups will say yes quickly if you're a match
>you negotiate a contract over email
>some companies may want more interviews or you to do coding challenges – i normally decline doing tests

Your work day will consist of:
>talking on slack and github
>editing files
>typing terminal commands
>some companies have 'standups' – this is just where you talk about what you did today
>other companies just want you to show what you did in a certain slack channel

Required skills:
- sending good promo emails and messages
- having a brief 10 - 30 min conversation on web cam (job interview)
- potentially talking about what you did during the day (no need for web cam) – some companies will let you skip that if you're delivering or in a crap timezone

IMO, what most people here would have trouble with isn't the 'social' aspects of the job. It's that getting into a startup requires a very particular way to promote yourself in the first place and you have to do it exactly right to get in. Good emails are easy to write but doing well in interviews is more of an art form.

With interviews - you probably expect that startups will have a big list of questions to ask you and you'll be able to dazzle them in how you answer. But in my experience most of the time the founder has no questions in mind and expects you to basically do their job for them. So you have to come up with the questions to interview yourself and then answer them on the spot! It's a bit ridiculous. The best way to do this is to prepare questions in advance about your skills and how it relates to their company. Never underestimate how lazy people are.

Yes, I wrote that you had to be able to write messages (you're doing this now) and talk about yourself (you're also doing this now.) There's nothing hyper-social about any of this. This entire thread is filled with examples of people who have these skills.

What minimal social skills you need to work in tech (and it really is a bare minimum), isn't enough to make up for a lack of skills when it comes to applying for jobs. Even if you happen to have good tech skills. If you can't sell your abilities then it's going to be hard to find work. (So find another boogieman to blame because 'social skills' in tech aren't the problem.)

Everyone has to do this. But I understand most of you just want to play the race to the bottom game and call anyone you don't like normalfags. It's a tad stupid.

There's a good chance I'm being bullshitted, but supposedly there's a chance I may be asked to take a lead position not sure if I really would though.

On the plus side, I'd no longer need to do customer phone calls and would overall do way less customer stuff outside of helping people out and taking on a few different types of situations that honestly I already kind of do anyway. And get paid more obviously. It would still be hourly and not expected to do overtime, so not drastically more responsibilty.

On the negative, I would probably have to be in more meetings and stuff and help give feedback about policies and that kind of thing. Generally just help coworkers out more rather than customers directly.

I don't really have a problem with anyone but right now I kind of just manage myself and communicate when needed so I'd be worried it would end up that I need to deal with sides of people I might be able to ignore now in the lower position.

Casual sex doesn't seem so casual after all if you look at how many succubi manage to start drama over it.

This is offtopic but it's interesting how pretty much all succubi who go on hook ups on a very regular basis have things like borderline personality disorder and just act out of impulses and then they feel like shit afterwards because they are unlovable dumb sluts but won't admit it in order to pull off the "owning my sexuality" bullshit. They get pissed off if a dude just masturbates in their body and moves on to the next slut like they are expecting to get kisses and hugs or something.

I really don't think succubi are mentally built to have casual sex and they just do these things to get cheap attention or other shallow results from it that don't really fulfill them for long and once they reach their 30s they're gonna hit the wall anyway.

This whole casual dating stuff is turning into a comedy show that will turn out quite interesting in the future since everyone is getting completely mentally retarded because of all the hypersexuality stuff.

Statistics show that more and more men and even normies struggle to partake in actual sex while succubi do it more openly, it's a recipe for societal disaster and there's a lot of young people adapting conservative views as a reaction to it and things will eventually change to the opposite of the sex pop culture we have now.

Good post

It's also not the "chads" having lots of casual sex like crabby types think. The most attractive and successful men I knew at school all had pregnancy scares with some succubi they were fooling around with at the age of 16-18. The smarter ones quickly learn they can't just be having casual sex like everyone else, because they will get deceived and roped into an unwanted pregnancy. Hell, I knew one guy that had it happen in his late twenties, just with a one night stand with an upper class career succubus. You really think someone as attractive and successful as say, Henry Cavil, can just go around having casual sex? succubi throw themselves at these types to reproduce with, even if they don't know it at the time. Even Harvey Weinstein who was a certified fat, ugly bastard, was said to be meticulously careful with how he used contraception.

I agree with the first sentence. But it's not just succubi. There are many cases where the succ would want to keep the baby but her bf or family pushes her to abort the child in the end. Abortion is evil, no matter who comes up with the idea of it.

>>259072
There are many ways you can achieve that goal, like people should use their brains a little and use a condom or pills before sex? Or better yet, they shouldn't even have sex.

You can't justify abortion, at all. Whores and their degenerate bfs have sex and "opps, I'm pregnant, gee who would have thought that could happen?? But we don't to take care of a child, god what should we do, we are so young and we want to party more…oh, let's kill it! That will solve everything!!"

But on a side note, if you don't like life then remove yourself please. Not everyone hates life and life isn't inherently a bad thing. Everyone should be allowed to decide about his own life.

the possibility of a child born to a couple that would have otherwise aborted it being pure suffering is very high, accidental pregnancies are also not great.
most humans do not posses the mental capacity for raising another human in a decent manner and it is precisely those humans that generate most pregnancies out of stupidity, we cannot fix this.

If you hate your job, no amount of money is going to make it worth it (unless its so much money you can just retire very quickly). Most jobs will want you to put in at least 20 to 40 hours per week, so it better be something you can reasonably stomach.

Since you're a NEET with options, you can either try shopping around for something bearable without committing to it, or maybe use that neety time to rank up your skills and find some kind of remote work that pays well but lets you basically slack off at home (programming, video editing, graphics design, IT related stuff is usually comfy, stay away from call center shit, tech support and whatnot if you talking to people stresses you out too much).

I never suggested that. But I find your whole anti-natalist Messiah Complex to be tiring and boring. I am living according to my ideal and I am living life because I think it is worth living.

Life is suffering+more. And suffering being bad purely is just another one of your subjective opinions. We need suffering in our life, otherwise we wouldn't enjoy the good things in life and would take them for granted.

There's pretty coherent arguments about not even having a minimum wage that have to do with supply and demand. Morally, yeah, giving people more money seems compelling, but good intentioned regulations often create the opposite effect. Like how price control creates shortages in supply because you create artificial prices that don't reflect the real market, so suddenly no one wants to produce that good or service anymore at that price. You raise the minimum wage and suddenly that mom & pop restaurant can't afford people anymore so the X amount people that would have gotten a job at 7 bucks an hour, now get 0 bucks an hour. Small businesses scale down even more or just fail, and big corporations put more money into automations research.

These are complex issues and I can't think of a bigger nightmare than having to make decisions about it. Especially when 50% of the people are always going to be pissed off for one reason or another because of the inherent tribalist mentality in politics i.e. red team vs blue team.

Yea, but people arguing for a minimum wage increase say that the cost of living has increased far more than the minimum wage in the past decades so people today are poorer than people in the past and if the minimum wage had increased proportionally to the cost of living, it will be at least 15 dollars and that is were that number is coming from. It's not a number that they just made up, there is a reason for it.

In other words, rich people took more money from the poor so they could buy another yacht and another plane, and there is no good reason to let that happen.

Most minimum wage jobs are socially necessary. They typically don't get lost no matter how much minimum wage goes up, within realistic bounds of course. If minimum wage was lifted up to middle class wages, you'd still have people stacking shelves, delivering good and mopping floors. It just has to happen. What does happen, is people with qualifications such as welders, hairdressers or builders find themselves making minimum wage. Or the more shittier labour that used to have a 30% premium on top of minimum wage, becomes minimum wage.

It just fucks up the class system and disincentives people from getting the shittier jobs that pay a little more.

yeah, but forbidding certain transactions doesnt help anyone. money has nothing to do with the aggregate wealth of a society, no matter what you do, a money system can only make an economy less than efficient, no matter how many dollars change hands there are still only so many real things in the world. what facilitates the creation of more real wealth is more people working, real wealth is created by work. if you forbid certain transactions (those deemed too unfavorable to be legal, like working for 2 cents a year), then you decrease the amount of actual wealth being generated in the world and that makes everyone worse off. you can say that if those unfavorable transactions were to take place it would just be the rich getting richer, but still, if it doesnt take place then there is no chance of anyone benefitting.

New paragraph, New reason.

Because I was searching forever to even get this job (it was depressing, and everyone laying even more shit on me saying, "The news says people are having such a tough time getting workers" only served to axe my esteem down even more). If people were so skeptical to hire me and it is such a challenge to keep a job below $10/hr in a good market, how the fuck will I make it at the competition for $15? I am not a normie.

Another thing to keep in mind is at a lower wage things can be relaxed because they can afford to be. The one thing that is nice about having a lower wage is that the work environment is much lower key and less stressful, and that gets translated all the way up the chain from what I see in the rural town jobs I have been in. I look at the shit they foist on the $20/hr people around here and I don't understand how it is possible.

What about the expansion up the chain? Why would the office employees stick around once the grunts like me catch up in purchasing power to them? What kind of even more hellish competition would getting an office job be if the wages went up even more? I could maybe see a really smart wizard having a chance at being in the office if the bottom of the scale was set at $10, but if the bottom of the scale was 50% higher, and then that translates up the scale, there's no way. Like I said in my first paragraph, I feel like we barely have a shot at an application. The only possibility is to underbid the socially gregarious.

Finally, it's not like the profit we make is absurd. Most places dream of 8%. From what I hear of during negotiations, the place I am at currently makes 6% on a good year, and labor is somewhere between a third to half of our costs. I don't see how the arithmetics can pan out. E.g., best case if our costs were $10 (wages in our plant average to something like $10/hr includi g the bosses of the plant), then our total costs would be $30, and our total revenues would be $31.8, so if our labor costs were $15 we would be out of business.

All these morons arguing for the abolition/lowering of the minimum wage…I don't know whether you people are serious or ironic. I will assume the worst case and think you are actually serious about what you write.

My opinion about you people is that you don't deserve to vote, no, I will go further, you don't even deserve any freedom or rights at all. You are cattle and a buch of cucks. (That is ofc unless you live a privileged life or have a high-status and extremely wellpaying position.) Otherwise yeah, you deserve to live like slaves.

Without minimum wage or in the case of a low minimum wage your job wouldn't be comfier at all. Employers aren't satisfied with anything, they would suck all the blood out of you if they could legally do so. And competition has nothing to do with this. You people desire to live in Africa or some 3rd world country? Because in those places the market is really really free if you guys want to experience full-blown capitalism in effect.

>The market won't feed poor people or take care of them.
youre right, because "the market" only exists in your imagination. if you want food, you either have to grow it, convince someone to give it to you, or steal it. most people choose the second option and try to convince people to give them food by working for money and then giving people money for food. if everyone took the third option and started stealing to get food, and no one produced food, we would all starve. stealing is always a detriment to the economy, in order for more stuff to be made, more work needs to be done. your use of the term "market" isnt helpful and doesnt actually help you to understand the real world.

>Maybe because I don't possess the necessary capital to do so

there are people who invest in start-up companies, its not impossible to convince someone to give you money. and what about the people who already have companies? why dont they pay people what they should get paid, they could just hire all the best people from other companies then right? and if someone were to do this "pay people more" thing other comapanies would then have to do the same so they dont lose all their labour, do you think that this has never been done?

>You people desire to live in Africa or some 3rd world country? Because in those places the market is really really free if you guys want to experience full-blown capitalism in effect

i doubt that, and even so africa is poor because niggers have a poor nigger thief mentally (kind of like you). if some black entrepreneur makes 10 loaves of bread to sell then the whole village will come to him begging for bread and he will end up having to give all of it away to his starving family, losing his entire initial investment. the other starving niggers dont want to work and just leech off the ones who do, it may be a free market but its the same niggadry that is the basis of the socialist market structure that is what keeps africa poor.

another thing about africa is everyone is fucking stupid, even if they didnt have nigger mentalities the work they do would be way less efficient than what a regular person does, partly because theyre uneducated and partly because theyre niggers. i dont think this is going to hold them back forever, but it definitely doesnt help.

Why are idiots like you so sure of yourself always? "Don't be a cuck" is not an argument why raising the minimum wage would be viable economically, it's just moralizing and grandstanding. I'm sure you feel awesome when you write this shit and think you're "punching up" at some imaginary boogeyman capitalist, but in reality you've never owned a business and have no clue how it's run. There are real unintended side-effects to screwing around with complex dynamic systems like the economy. To think that you simply make it illegal to pay people less and bam, everyone gets a raise, is very simplistic thinking. Not saying the free market will solve everything, but price control has been tried many times and the effect is always observable, it's not magic, it makes complete rational sense compared to emotional reasoning like the one you're offering.

If it makes you feel better, I don't vote so you're free to vote for the candidate that plays in the best with your emotions. Maybe there's one with the slogan "Make them pay!" and you just fill in the blanks about who "they" are.

I swear free market and capitalism fanatics are a completely different sect, who live in their own little dreamworld where everything that helps the "economy" and those who already have more than enough money is good while everything that would help the average guy (including them!) is from the devil. I'd write a more elaborate reply to tell you why you are wrong on everything, but the thread will 300 soon so I don't want to get into an argument now. So I will what I write short.

1.) Living in Africa sucks exactly because there are no laws protecting the average man there from exploitation, the market is free and this is what you get, people being forced to work for almost nothing.
2.) Again, your solution for poverty is "just get rich bro". It is the economic version of the "just b yourself" slogan. If it were that easy to get rich then there would be no poor people at all. So suck a horse cock, please.
3.) You implying it would tank the economy to give people higher wages is absolutely ridiculous. We heard this boogeyman again and again through history from the rich, that we shouldn't give stuff to poor people or otherwise it would cause Armageddon. Well guess what? 8 hours a day work didn't wreck the economy. Worker rights didn't wreck the economy. Laws protecting workers and the little men didn't wreck the system either. Money and free stuff given to the people didn't cause anarchy. So get fucked, again. It's not the end of the world if your employer only takes home a couple of millions instead of 100 millions. There would be plenty of money, food and resources for everyone on Earth. But some people just don't want to share unless you put a knife to their throats.

But of course, what do you care? You most likely never had to experience the shit end of capitalism so you can keep on spouting retarded crap like this.

>>259226
Ahh, not the boogeyman again. You can't raise the wages of people because Elon Musk and Trump need all that money to spend on luxury whores and to buy more cars and ships. That's it. There would be more than enough money to spend on people, but we need to spend money on useless wars and other retarded shit.

It's not a complex issue. Do you want to live better? Yes or No? If you say No because you are too scared the market will collapse (meaning Elon Musk would have less money) then you are a sheep, sorry. Maybe if you were a normalfag then I would understand why you want a stable market and society for the future. But as a wizard who doesn't have kids, literally why care about the future so much? All that matters is living good in the present. So what if we ruin the economy and society in a couple of decades? (We won't, btw.) Grow a set of balls already and stop sucking CEO cocks.

Funny you mention emotions, as it is clear it is you capitalist freaks who shit your pants at even the thought of giving common people like us more money and free stuff. You aren't some objective, ultra-rational all knowing God. You are a human and you should start looking out for yourself and your interests because other people will gladly exploit you if you don't put up any resistance.

And about moralizing? Pff, it is not about morals. It is about what is good for me. What is good for me is ultimately what is good for my class.

so instead of africans working for 1 dollar a day you want them to go back to the jungle, is essentially what youre saying. youre not forcing someone to pay the africans 2 dollars a day, youre making them hire less africans. and it doesnt make you seem righteous for telling other people to give away their stuff, it makes you look like a retarded child. you have a problem with africans being paid 1 dollar a day? what the fuck did you pay them? oh right, literally nothing at all. the people "exploiting" africans have done more for them than you ever will, but i digress. the real issue i have here is how you openly admit youre just a retarded animal that wants to steal and you think somehow a minimum wage will accomplish it, it will not. what you want is to steal from people, what you want is others to be forced to do things for you (slavery), a minimum wage will not accomplish anything you want.

>Again, your solution for poverty is "just get rich bro"

no, its not, the solution is to "just work bro" (a much more startling reality). believe it or not, everything in this world was created because someone decided to feel a little bit of discomfort for a while, they had to put some effort in. also my solution doesnt involve everyone on the planet getting "rich", if everyone is rich then no one is rich.

>You implying it would tank the economy to give people higher wages is absolutely ridiculous

as i explained, money has nothing to do with the amount of real wealth in the world. what youre trying to say is that people should just give you more stuff even though you arent giving them more stuff. lets say you work at a bread factory (the only one in the world), you make 1 loaf of bread a day and make enough money to buy 1 loaf of bread. if your employer paid you and everyone else enough to buy 2 loaves of bread, even though you only made 1, would that mean everyone has enough money to buy 2 loaves of bread? no, think it through you fucking retard, paying people more does not mean they have more stuff.

>All that matters is living good in the present. So what if we ruin the economy and society in a couple of decades?

why do you even pretend to care about actual economic solutions then? just say you want free stuff, dont try to make it look like you care about fairness or having a working economy when you dont. if you arent interested in hearing how economically your ideas dont work and are retarded, why even bring up economics in the first place? you dont give a shit about economics at all.

No, if we raise the minimum wage that doesn't mean companies will hire less people. Companies and employers don't give people jobs because they pity them or because of such retarded things. I seriously ask, are you like 10? Employers always employs the least amount of people necessary to do work for them. If we raise wages that doesn't mean employers will hire less people, it doesn't work like that. If it takes 3 people to do a job then the boss will get himself 3 people to work for him. No matter if the minimum wage is 1, 2 or 10 dollars a day. Because with less than 3 persons he can't get the work done in time. You like the moron you are, think employers use more than necessary people to work for them because they are kind or what the fuck. No, these people usually care about money to ridiculous extents and so want to save money whenever they can. Raising the min.wage. won't cause unemployment.
It's cute how you go on about me not paying africans when I don't even have companies or own a significant amount of wealth to begin with. Their bosses should give them decent wages, maybe. You know, those people who actually possess money and use africans to produce stuff cheaply? It is amazing to what lengths you are ready to go to in order to defend your masters and overlords. And I won't even comment on the whole deal about these asshole employers and CEOs doing africans a service by hiring them for shit and piss, o how generous they are!

It's not stealing to demand decent wages for people. What your capitalist masters do is more like stealing than anything. They don't pay their workers what they deserve.

>just work bro

Yeah fuck off, maybe you are content sucking the dick of your boss daily, I'm not. I don't like it when people try to take me for a fool and I don't like being exploited. So I will pass. Funny you'd praise work so much but most of the big guys in capitalism never had to work a single day during their lives either because of inheritance or because they could deceive others and exploit them. So you mean poor people should wageslave I take it, while rich people should just enjoy life, eh?

Also, if you are so much against high wages then why don't refuse your employer? "No boss that's too much, here I give it back" - bet you never said anything like that in your life. Raising wages generally means people live better, yeah. If you can't see the cause and effect then don't pretend you are so smart about economics.

I bring up economics because it affects my life. Yeah sorry, I don't care what happens after I die. We should use every resources of the world and burn it even if it means we get to live better. I don't give a shit about kids 100 years into the future, and how they will live.

Agreed. Best is when they try to run to morals to justify capitalism, lol Like the guy I am talking with. He thinks "stealing" is when the poor get a bigger piece of the cake but it is completely all right if rich people exploit poor people. I think these guys are just spoiled upper middle class shits, too scared of any ideology that would give some money to those who are less fortunate in life than them.

A job wants me to do a skills evaluation of about 40 questions in something I am not particularly good at, but know a bit about. This is scary. I need this job to escape the almost minimum wage job I have now and I'm basically entry level at this point. I guess I'll just embrace the challenge, probably fail the test, and use this to motivate myself to become better with these skills. Every time something challenges my skills, I get nervous on how little I think I know. I feel like I'm never going to be good enough.

I've been a meet, worked shitty menial labour, retail etc and now finally have a cushy tech job - it still feels shit. I don't want to work at all but have been thrown into this life where we have to work or live an intolerably poor and shitty life. it's not fulfilling, doesn't give me any pride, takes up all my time and mental energy, just to consoom and live with the remaining time left over. fuck it all, whether it's shitty retail or cushy tech. there's no winning.

There is a schizo former coworker that is threatening to kill me, his brother died and now he thinks that I have something to do with that.

By your fucking logic it would be alright if I tortured you 6 days a week and would leave you alone on sundays, so you could appreciate not-being-tortured, the more and didn't "take it for granted".

Next time think your normalshit sayings through before you spout that bullshit, fucking hell man
