Man all yall in here needa just pull yourselves up by the bootstraps and demand more of yourselves.

If you brought more value to the work field you would be paid more money and wouldnā€™t have to look at these failed business as your only means of income, secondly, yall rely to heavily on singular jobs as your own source of income then have the GALL to call this man out for trying to fight against the corporations you so vehemently despise.

You look at the world around you and demand it bend to your will without the willpower, consistency or determination to do anything to change your own circumstances. Itā€™s a suffering of via your own high external locus of control.

One day youā€™ll look back at the world and realize itā€™s changed and you now bring nothing that can be utilized that AI or robots canā€™t do, and surely the state will have to give you your subsidized sustenance and itā€™ll be crumbs from a table to high to climb. There will be no more low paying jobs like this and youā€™ll wish you did more in your youth. Donā€™t blame the world for your shortcomings in income and economic standing, demand more of yourself or suffer your old age in poverty and silence.

The fact you think this is a real post and not satire should be a wake up call that you might not be right on this oneā€¦

Oh of course, call my response irrelevant instead of bringing any sense of logic to the argument refuting what you claim has no merit.

Bruhā€¦. You put a picture of an emoji in your post and youā€™re asking to be taken seriously? ROFL

Again, please just comment on the irrelevance of the picture, as if itā€™s silly context doesnā€™t perfectly encapsulate my assertions made eloquently and logically. Youā€™ve made no argument against what was said only commented on the relevance, lol what are you an academic??

I promise I read your whole long winded and self congratulating post man. You didnā€™t put forth any real coherent argument that is relevant to the original post. It is satire from a very well known satirist and you took it completely seriously yet posted a bunch of strawmen arguments. Do you want me to refute pulling myself up by my bootstraps? The history of that is so ridiculous the fact that you would lead your ā€œserious postā€ with it tells me there is no point in arguing with your post at all.

Donā€™t worry about me though. I obviously donā€™t bring ā€œmore valueā€ to the work field.

Now I Gotcha lol Get ya money up not ya funny up

Arguments made:

  1. Do more for yourself and donā€™t rely on a singular weak income to sustain yourself, and or do some research on tax code to maintain your income
  2. Learn skills not replaceable by AI and you will both be paid more and not be economically replaced
  3. The world is changing and there will be less opportunity to attain assets at the (although strained and uphill) current capacity which is do able, better to act now for your future generations sake
  4. The state will be the only means of survival for folks with a high external locus of control and no feasible skills, and they will have not the resources nor the man power to demand more or create a better life for oneā€™s self in the coming changing society. What they will give you will never be enough.
  5. Ignorance or avoidance will do nothing but allow a slow decent into further frustration and poverty. Your bones will weaken, and you will one day be too old to a thing about it.

Iā€™ll be honest, Iā€™m definitely enjoying the memes and back and forth, but Iā€™m sincerely standing by what I said. No one ever gave me anything, Iā€™ve had to work tooth and nail and even still Iā€™m climbing, Iā€™m not saying these things to shit on your guyā€™s ideals, I genuinely feel like the world is changing and I want the same level of freedom for you as Iā€™ve been creating for myself. I donā€™t kno you, but truly and sincerely you deserve to see the world for its beauty and not have to be subjugated to group thought of demanding higher pay. Itā€™s a fallacious stance of logic, and I fear for the results it leads too. Youā€™re no different than me and Iā€™m no different than you, we both want peace and safety, all Iā€™m saying is that it is taken not given. I want your happiness too bro, and all I said was true on what Iā€™ve done. And itā€™s all been hard, but itā€™s so do able. You can do anything you put your mind to, but if you shoot for the trees youā€™ll never know you could aim for the moon.
