I'm com positing something of that matter. I'll post it when completed.Originally Posted by scshift
What are these people trying to say? They want economic and social reform? How about they suggest some ideas... instead of just posting stories of how they are in a bad position in life. Clearly, just off the website alone, you can tell there are many more people in bad positions. Instead of complaining, how about they think about what could possibly be done to change the system.
I honestly can't stand people who complain but don't offer a course of action to take. We all get it, the country's socioeconomic system is flawed and people are suffering. It doesn't take a 160 IQ to figure that out, but if people just stopped complaining about the facts and started thinking and executing solutions, we could actually take a step forward.
Honestly we all play the same game. We're all pawns in this damn game. Some were gifted with more money, some with more intelligence, some with more social leverage... but we all play by the same rules. People make it out like the government put a hit on their success and well-off. Guess what? We all have that same hit. Everyone's got to pay taxes, everyone's got to pay for food and everyone's got to wipe their butt after they take a dump.
Interest rates don't fluctuate cause banks hate certain people. Banks don't foreclose homes cause a dude has a hot wife. Jobs aren't being withheld because employers want to screw you over. We're all on a level playing field, for crying out loud.
In any given crisis like this, everyone has 3 options: 1. Change it. 2. Shut the hell up and deal with it. 3. Kill yourself. Because sitting and whining on an online blogging site is really going to get Obama or the higher up's attention
lol is this what they call an oxymoron?
no, it's what's called circular logic.
if you can't afford college dont go, many young men/women make that choice every day...you can't expect the govt to bail you out do you know how many people they would have to bail and what about the people who didnt go to school because they couldnt afford it, if you bail out the kids with crazy loans shouldnt you also give money to kids who couldnt afford to go to school
1. People who say they couldn't go to school because they couldn't afford it are full of ***#. It's a cop out to help them feel better for not having the drive to finish school.
2. People feel like they have to go to college because America doesn't really make ***# anymore. It's all outsourced.
I know NT's solution is for everyone to be Finance/Econ majors and everyone to work in Wall St. If that is the case then the system is #%*#$#, 'cause you wont be doing what you want to do in terms of passion your just doing something to fill your bank account.
What about those that want to be educators? Most liberal arts majors become teachers, then they get crappy pay to deal with crappy funding.
What about those that want to be Police Officers?
Firefighters?
Civil Servants?
Wall Street has America by the balls right now, and they really don't do ***#. They make money out of imaginary money. Most iBankers never even see physical dough that they constantly wheel and deal. Frankly, not everyone is "about that life". Lie, cheat, steal, deceit...robbing Peter (USA) to pay Paul (Investors, BoD). I know dudes that are iBankers, it's truly a sad world, unless you are all about the money.
I'm part of the 99%, but I'm not in a hole. My decisions have all been well thought out and meticulous.

I'm not religious, I do believe in some sort of a higher power. I'm not made for Wall St. life although numbers and math have always come easy to me (baseball stat junkie). Unfortunately I have a conscience and from what I heard if you work in banking you shouldn't have a soul or a conscience
I have had life experiences that no amount of money can replace, and yes I had to sacrifice money to experience those things.
I do believe the system is #%*#$# up, the people that do the least get compensated the most. America is a great country, it is my country, and will always be grateful for what it has provided for me. However, I'm not dense or naive and I know that America has lost it's way. It continues to plunder the poor of what little assets they have in order to feed the greed of the 1%.
There will be a day where America will be what it once was, I don't think it will happen in my life time.
Maybe one of the first posts I have read from you and 100% agree with.

its not about people who made bad decisions homie......... its about a system that doesnt allow you to manuever without alot of options.... i dont want to work in finance so that means i should get minimum wage or just enough pay to pay my bills???
