it just seems like it never gets any better. All I want is a job that pays me enough to live with a straight seven in the morning until 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening Monday through Friday schedule.
I just want an honest days pay for an honest day's work. I mean there are jobs out there like that, but when they advertise, my application is getting drowned out in the stack of like 200 other people who are competing for the same damn role. when the hell is the economy going to get better so I could finally get my damn foot in the door? how the hell am I supposed to buy a house when most jobs don't even pay enough to cover rent for a one bedroom apartment? when are we going to get those manufacturing jobs back and transition out of this stupid fucking low-wage service economy? I just keep seeing things getting more and more expensive and I really don't give a shit about all this political fucking theater when at the end of the day I'm still getting squeezed just as hard as I was under Joe Biden.
It's VERY location dependent.
Money doesn't flow evenly around the country.
Instead it flows in "funnels" around particular locations and industries.
LOTS of opportunities in Texas and the Dakotas for instance... but many other places - nada.
Not only that, but many shoot out hundreds of resumes and get ZERO calls to interview.
I feel your pain fren. Nobody wants to say it, but we've been in an economic depression since 2009.
It takes a while for things to pick back up again AND that is going to come at a cost...
They're going to both lower interest rates AND devalue the dollar - or so I hear - in order to make USA production competitive and attractive to foreign buyers of our goods.
A LOT of people are hurting right now and have been for a long time. I know that's no consultation, but you are DEFINITELY not alone swinging in the wind.
Oddly enough, some of the food prices in Hawaii on the island of Kauai are the same price as food in Phoenix, Arizona area. Same with the gas. Make it make sense. 🤷🏼♀️ how can gas prices on the island of Kauai be the same price as what it is in Phoenix?
Don't tell Mazi. She will raise them.
That shitbird. My grandfather was a proud native Hawaiian before it was annexed and then he was a fiercely proud American and Marine and Korean War vet. Now anyone born or immigrated to the islands is Hawaiian. It’s fucking retarded
No eyed deer.
That's crazy...
Maybe prices haven't caught up in Hawaii yet
Eh, it may have a positive effect on production and exports, but it will diminish our buying power even more.
It's a notion I've been playing with for a while now, but they/we might have to do more than just devalue the dollar. Someone is gonna have to reset everyone's belief in what everything from a house to a car to a Playstation is worth.
Yup... I don't disagree...
Not very pretty held up against dirt cheap Chinese trinket prices...
Have to get the tariffs working for us again.
2018-2019 Was genuinely pretty good. Note that all of the traitors in congress were calling it a severe labor shortage, which it wasn't, it was just normalcy for once in 17 years. But it was brief.
