I'm going on a rant
and I don't care if anyone reads this or likes it. I'm just literally fed up. All I have read about today is how much middle class citizens are screwed over. Or used to be middle class citizens. We aren't that anymore. We live in a third world country, unless you are super rich. Today is my 4th day without going to my first job because my vehicle is in the shop because of an accident that I had when I was ridiculously tired. I accidentally clipped a guy driving home from work one day because I was so tired from working 7 days a week. AND I still have trouble paying my bills. For F(*% sakes. And now, because I have to get my headlight replaced, I am without a vehicle. They initially told me it would be 4 days to fix, and then they changed their minds and said 10. That is 10 days I am without my second income. 10 days. When you are an hourly employee, that means not paying a lot of bills. A lot.
I am so sick of republicans and their anti jobs rhetoric. Actually, what I am really sick of is their rhetoric of, "well if people applied themselves, worked harder, didn't use the system..." mentality. You know what? I worked really hard all of my life to succeed. I grew up somewhat poor. My parents were farmers and teachers. We didn't get everything we wanted. I was expected to go to college on scholarship, which I worked super hard for and did. I have worked hard all of my life to succeed and I was successful at one point. And then one bad job screwed me over. And do you want to know why? I have morals. I worked for a school that didn't like when I questioned them on their questionable practices so they could make extra money on students trying to make a better life for themselves. It's all a sham.
This is America as we know if folks. I thought I had it all until I didn't. And now I take out payday loans to pay bills. I literally work 7 days a week to keep afloat. This isn't life. This is a slow, painful death. I have a master's agree, and that makes me overqualified in a lot of people's eyes. How sad is that? I'm thankful for the two jobs I do have. But come on. Why are there a lot of people everywhere working jobs for wages way too low for them? it's because there are no good jobs to be had.
If you think we are suckers, and by suckers I mean the American population as a whole, you are right. I am frightened by the people who follow the republican doctrine. These are uneducated people. They vote against their own interests, because you know, we can't kill babies that haven't even been born, but they don't care about people that are. And from what I can tell, the people that are, are pissed off.

1. I don't ****ing know... Hell, we might just all end up killing each other...
And some days I'm depressed enough to think that wouldn't be so bad.
The gun grabbers better keep an eye on this one
Blurynumbers not getting much attention or hugs.

Don't want to bust their bubble but, they just use the overqualified excuse to let you down easy. They don't want to hire a stupid lefty with a masters in underwater basket weaving.

It sounds like "Fixing the headlight" involves replacing a quarter-panel or the entire headlight assembly, not just the 'Light.' It sounds like this DUmmtard managed to hit something but isn't willing to actually own up to it.

Why doesn't the DUmmy cash in on the White Privilege I hear so much about?

I bet things were far better for the bitter DUchebag until January 2007. Then its life got even worse in January 2009.
Two jobs that I'll wager are part time due to Obama Care. How is that hope and change working out for you DUmbass?

Blurry#s primitive complaining about working two jobs, 7 days a week.
Yet, has spare time to rant at the DUmp. Better Blurry#s primitive get a third job to help pay the bills. Maybe blurry#s primitive can apply that masters degree in ???, something and get a real job. Blurry#s primitive should pawn some of the junk accumulated from HSN and pay off the credit card.
Blurry#s primitive should have done what I did. Skip college, go to work, advance within the company until noticed by other company, snag HUGE salary and now work when I want to.

It's because of this "blame everyone else" attitude you ****s have. You are angry at everyone for everything. I find this to be deeply embedded in the liberal psych.
On the other had you have a largely christian group of people who understand that it is all for God and not for thyself. They understand real charity and giving. They understand the importance of having a good attitude for you reap what you sow. They understand our rights are not theirs but given to them by God and the responsibility that goes along with that. They understand they must take responsibilities for their actions instead of blaming everyone else.
I mean you sit back and wonder why conservatives are successful? The middle class is fine, strong as ever. We just don't bitch about every little adversity in our life and always strive to do better, not beg for sympathy and ask the government to come and swoop us of our feet.
My whole family came from less than middle class. Never took a dime from the government. They all now run some of the most successful business's in my area. They didn't steal, cheat, complain, lie, to do this. They worked, which a positive attitude, helping others along the way.
I am sorry you will never understand DUmmie. Blame everyone some more.

How in the hell can a person justify missing 4 days of work because of a broken headlight???
Oh wait... for a second I forgot exactly who it is posting this crap.

I don't know, but I have friends and family all over that I can call and will happily take me to work both my cars are down. Which has happened a few years back.
A friend drove 30 miles to get me and take me to work, then pick me up and take me home. 2 hours of his day gone... I would imagine someone with so much hate a dislike doesn't have many real friends.

Sounds like this DUmmy may have a felony conviction or two.

Hopeless. Go to the junkyard and get a new headlight, DUmmy.

Why is the DUmmy even driving a car in the first place? Doesn't he care for the environment? Why doesn't he take public transportation like they try to force the rest of us to take.
And I take exception to him driving while insanely tired. DUmmies are so worried about us responsible people having guns yet this idiot gets behind the wheel of a car when he is in no shape to drive and in the process, causes an accident. I move that we ban DUmmies from driving any motor vehicle since they seem to be a deadly combination.

Dummy has lost income before. He is not a he but a she with a girlfriend.
I guess a masters in management isn't paying off to well, or girlfriend is costing to much to keep.

It really has a management masters and can't convert that employment above the poverty level?

Over qualified my ass. Lefties like to brag about their education and won't apply for most jobs as they feel they are too good for most occupations. They expect to start at the top, rather then work their way up.
If having a master's degree is such a barrier to employment, quit bragging about it when you apply for a job. Keep your ****ing mouth shut.

I know how you feel. Next week I start an assignment for 8 weeks. Seven twelves the entire duration. I don't get OT, but I get paid all the hours at my ginormous contract rate.

Don't be impressed. My job is construction management. I'll be on oversight. The heaviest lifting I'll do is drinking coffee and carrying my trusty clipboard. You're a nurse, right? 5/12s, that's a lot of mileage on the dogs. They give me a gator or a golf cart to run around the site.

I'm going on a rant
...
And now, because I have to get my headlight replaced, I am without a vehicle.
...
I grew up somewhat poor. My parents were farmers and teachers.
Whoa, whoa, whoa....blur, you blew it. No reasonably intelligent farmer's kid would be so totally helpless that they couldn't get a headlight from a junk yard and install it. I never helped my dad fix a tractor, a combine, or even a bike, but I did grow up with the intelligence and the gumption to fix the small stuff on my vehicles so I was NEVER without some transportation, even when we were so poor I had to count pennies to get medicine for my 3 kids. Your problem isn't Republicans or working 2 jobs or too much education, your problem is that you don't have the gumption to do what needs done in order to get by. Quit your :bawl:, put on your grown-up pants and get on with life.
(Just for the record, I went back to college with 3 kids, had $650 a month and no food stamps, utility assistance, medical assistance, zip through college. Had my 4th child a month before graduation. Went to work when she was 9 months old for {gasp} minimum wage, and got a whole dime an hour raise after 30 days. Now, 24 years later, with my paltry little Associates degree, am making about 45k. Been there, done that, got the street cred and all that stuff. :-))

Working multiple jobs (HA!) and still can't pay bills -- Check
Blame Republicans -- Check
Done wrong for taking the moral high ground -- Check
Master's Degree -- Check
Voting against own best interest -- Check

It's like this dimwit is a Starbuck's coffee cup and he's trying to fill in all the little boxes.

So how does one explain the people that are new Americans that come here not knowing English or have ever gone to any kind of school that after 10 years working 3 jobs now in total make over $50,000 a year.
First English they learn is to ask, do you pay over time.?
Fancy having to leave America to work in a factory in a country where you do not know the language, the customs are strange to you, and people look at you strangely as you do not look like them, they do no not speak your language as last resort have to use sign language to tell you what to do. [ much like the riggers direct a crane operator.]
When over time is posted the workers groan and complain about the time taken from their family's and self, a 7 day work week is seen as a punishment, but to you a reason to rejoice, More over time means more money and the ability to get Wife, Mom and Dad to be able to join you within a year or two.
In come the parents, the wife/ husband and kids after 5 years, by now you speak the language, put the kids in school and the parents babysit for you and spouse work 2 or more jobs.--I0 years later you are all set, have enough money to buy a home or start a business that is based on American things that the ex- Pats will want or need.
So why in America are the well educated wandering the streets jobless.? They say they are over qualified for most jobs, --BS --- some workers with college degrees come into the work force as a floor sweeper, work and not miss a day and they go up the line as they paid attention to how the company worked.
Example ---A female came into work on the assembly lines, she worked a year or so and when a job was posted then and only then she reviled she had a Degree in college that was for that job. She had the credentials that she forgot to place on her employment form, had a years under her belt working the lines to come in and turn every thing around.
So what's the matter with you and those that are over qualified to get a job ?
Get off your pedestal, so you have a degree in basket weaving and square dancing. When the jobs for a job such as a MBA or even a TEC Collage are not needed, get out there and swab the floors, clean the restrooms and flip those burgers and work under paid for your education and go up the ladder.

I don't even get a nice contractors rate. Next week I'll make about $9 an hour... as a manager.

They can't. After two days, it's called "job abandonment."
But then again, there has to be a job involved for that to exist.

And two jobs, no less, to make it to the poverty level.
mmmm......mmmm.....mmmm.....

And has a six-figure student loan debt to go along with that minimum-wage POS job.
The word, boys and girls, is, "schadenfreude."

Can you even imagine telling your boss that? Yeah sorry, I still can't work today because of a broken headlight. When I have managed people, I could accept that for maybe a day or two. Even knowing that it is a bullshit story.
-
All that pissing and moaning and not one word for the poor sap who's car she damaged with her negligence. Maybe they need to get to work as well.

I wouldn't accept it. There are things out there like busses, taxis, trains, bicycles, rent a car, borrow friend/neighbor car, ride with co-worker.

This is my neck of the woods and trust me it is light on how bad the leftist assholes are here, particularly the youngish ones. Earl in my career I thought it was the manager's job to mold the employee and teah them how to be a good and successful employee. After about six months of that I went with turn them and burn them until you found a person that was good at the basic level. Those people got way more from me than i got from them.
This is good give it a read as it is spot on.

Ok, so I posted this in the LGBT forum, but I feel like others will appreciate that have lost their [View all]
jobs. This is what I sent my former boss tonight.
Hello sir,
I just wanted to give you a little update on how my life is going since I parted on such great terms from your business. I wanted to thank you kindly for all of the great things that have happened since.
Yes, I do have a job, but to what gain? Thankfully, I could pay my rent one more month. But what good is that without electricity, gas, or a phone? Because those will all be shut off this week. I have a whole $50 to my name to live on until August 8th. Believe it or not, unemployment does not pay that well. According to them, with a Masters degree which no one that works at your fine establishment has, is only worth $10 an hour. Awesome. Glad I spent $50,000 to get that worthless piece of paper. I do hope that you are doing well with your privileged life that has been handed to you. I am so glad that you have never had to face the choice of not eating or getting to work. I sincerely hope that the next time you pass over a bridge that I will not be there. Not that you would stop and give that person help anyway.
Thanks for that $2000, that obviously went a really long ways, that was so generous of you. Please give my regards to everyone there that sold me out. Especially your Executive Manager that you hired after telling me that I was in charge of your business. I could have done wonders for your company if it had not been for her feeling threatened by a 30 year old who may have had better ideas than her. Oh, and also give regards to the person I got a job for that threw me under the bus so she could have my job. Too bad for her you did away with my position which I proclaimed to you as a crap position in the first place upon my suggestion when exiting your establishment. That was the one time you ever listened to me. Or your pocket book because that save you a boatload of money. All she got was more work for the same pay, for which I do feel somewhat vindicated.
And I do know that you are concerned with my partner for whom you had so much regard. She is still unemployed thanks to you because we cannot get her car in working order due to financial hardships. She feels just great about herself, and you for that matter. Thanks for being afraid of two people loving each because they are the same gender. How kind and forward thinking of you.
But lastly, thanks for the self esteem with which I have struggled over for the past few months. I know in the back of my mind that I am and will always be better than that position and your company. Yet, not being able to pay my bills has made me feel quite the opposite. Funny how that works. I would love to see your response, but considering I won't have internet until I am actually able to pay my electric bill, would hinder this. Of course, that would also mean you would have to care to even form a response in the first place, which I know you do not. Thank you, kind Republican who thinks he earned his right to live in this country when I did not, because, of course, you are better than me. I will take my place in the ranks of the poor and not worthy of kindness or respect.
Sincerely,
You former employee
**** you 99%, i'm glad that my dependency on life helps your bottom line. **** you again.

Yes. She worked at some private college and got canned. She also got laid off from a job working for some cable telemarketing service. I think there is a bouncy here about how she convinced a customer that they didn't need Faux News.

It' always good to see things from another's perspective. Otherwise I would never know how it feels to have to work for someone I have nothing but contempt for at a job I'm ridiculously overqualified for. Apparently it's really hard to hide those feelings from your boss and coworkers.
