>40 hour work week
lel pussies. my base week is 40 hours, plus i do about 15 hours extra overtime every week. just full of lazy c**ts this world
>being proud of working
>being proud of being lazy and poor
Good goy!
hope you're hourly and not salary
of course its hourly, i get paid shitloads.
stay mad poorgays
>needs to work overtime for 10 years to afford a house when there are people with 30 hour work weeks who do that
maybe you should hold off on the meth cletus and get a highschool degree.
>lol i do 55 hours a week and waste my life so i can purchase shit i don’t need!
nice life. my dad did the same and retired a few weeks ago, spent 20+ years of his life spending more time working than doing what he wanted, now he’s old and doesn’t have the energy to do it now
ok mate.
i have 10 more years left to pay off my house, and well on my way to retiring before 50.
enjoy being a NEET piece of shit buddy
over emotional and defensive response just makes me think i’m right and you don’t want to admit it to yourself
this is a more reasonable response. based
10 years of working 55 hour weeks just to own a caedboard mcmansion? This makes you proud? We work harder than ever and make less, BECAUSE of people like you who bust their ass and balls for the meager shit life. We live in a supply and demand service economy, morons busting their asses just to make more money make things more expensive with their spending. More people willing to go into debt and wage slavery will make housing more expensive. Everybody thinks you're a moronic ape. It's funny how people are PROUD, they have to work more to make less than what was previously acceptable. This is why people like you get called bootlickers by people with brains.

>going into housing debt during the largest housing bubble in history
just lol man lol, you could have invested into something worthwhile and have the money to buy the house outright without being a cuckold debt serf.
>mortgages are LE BAD
Mortgages are dope as frick. Literally the best form of financial leverage average jack offs can get. Go to any stock or crypto brokerage and try to get $400k in margin with the same terms as a mortgage. Pro tip; you can’t.
come on
track the same people over time instead of abstract groups
https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/thomas-sowell-on-perennial-economic-fallacies-about-income/
An absolute majority of the people who were in the bottom 20 percent in 1975 have also been in the top 20 percent at some time since then. Most Americans don’t stay put in any income bracket. At different times, they are both “rich” and “poor” — as these terms are recklessly thrown around in the media. Most of those who are called “the rich” are just middle-class people whose taxes the politicians avoid cutting by giving them that name.
There are of course some people who remain permanently in the bottom 20 percent. But such people constitute less than one percent of the American population, according to data published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in its 1995 annual report. Perhaps the intelligentsia and the politicians have been too busy waxing indignant to be bothered by anything so mundane as facts.
Alarmists are not talking about real flesh and blood people. They are talking about abstract categories like the top or bottom 10 percent or 20 percent of families or households. So long as all incomes are not identical, there will always be top and bottom 10 percents or 20 percents or any other percents. But these abstract categories do not contain the same people over time.
Behind both the statistics on inequality that are spotlighted and the statistics on ever-changing personal incomes that are ignored is the simple fact that people just starting out in their careers usually do not make as much money as they will later, after they have had years of experience.
Who should be surprised that 60-year-olds have higher incomes and more wealth than 30-year-olds?
>unironically defending the new Gilded Age
Alarmists are not talking about real flesh and blood people. They are talking about abstract categories like the top or bottom 10 percent or 20 percent of families or households. So long as all incomes are not identical, there will always be top and bottom 10 percents or 20 percents or any other percents. But these abstract categories do not contain the same people over time.
Households do not contain the same numbers of people, even at a given time.
The bottom 20 percent of households contains 39 million people, while the top 20 percent contains 64 million. Comparing households is comparing apples and oranges.
If you are serious about considering the well-being of flesh and blood human beings, then you can talk about their real income per capita. But alarmists avoid that like the plague, because it would expose their little game for the fraud that it is.
Real income per capita has risen 50 percent over the same span of time when household income has remained virtually unchanged. How is this possible?
Because households are getting smaller. The very fact that there are higher incomes enables more people to afford to go out and set up their own independent households.
>according to data published by the Federal Reserve Bank
lol
lmao
At some times and places, there have been whole classes of people who lived permanently in poverty or in luxury. But, in the United States today, the percentage of Americans who fit either description does not reach beyond single digits.
It is one thing to be concerned about the fate of flesh and blood human beings. It is something very different to create alarms about statistical relationships between abstract categories.
Despite desperate efforts of activists to keep "hunger in America" alive as an issue by manipulating numbers, actual examinations of flesh and blood people show no nutritional differences between people in different income brackets. In contrast to the gaunt and undernourished poor of other times and places, Americans in the lower income brackets today are slightly more likely to be overweight than is the rest of the population.
The magnitude of statistical differences may tell very little about the condition of human beings. A two-to-one difference in the amount of food available would be very painful if it meant that those on the short end did not have enough to eat. But a thousand-to-one difference in price between wearing a Rolex and wearing a Timex is something that can be left to the alarmists -- especially since both watches tell time with about the same accuracy.
And both are a lot more accurate than "income disparity"
IRS tax returns can track the same people over time rather then abstract groups of people. If you have better stats that follows individual tax returns year over year to measure income I'd like the source.
>most poor people can't and will never own their house
>even medieval peasants owned their shacks
>"They fat and have smartphones tho"
Yeah. and who's fault is it that houses are so expensive and inflation is at 8%?
here's a hint. it's not Putin's fault. Money has to go somewhere
1) israelites and Corpojews who moved manufacturing to China/Myanmar/Mexico whatever shithole allows them to gove themselves 20 million bonuses every quarter, and effectively destroyed the middle class who worked the same "unskilled" job for 30 years and retired on a 401k with 2 houses
2) Immigrants, who were let in by the aforementioned israelites and shabbo goyim to drive down the wages of the remaining "unskilled" jobs that couldn't be shipped off otherwise
3) Banks, who are allowed to speculate on real estate instead of investing in companies, new businesses etc.
It's the federal reserve printing money hand over fist, and regulation preventing new housing from being created.
A medieval peasants house did t have indoor plumbing or electricity
>Liberals import hispanics and other minorities enmasse
>Liberals wonder why the cost of housing is rising
You will own nothing and be happy. You stupid goy slave.
>Peasants owned their shacks
No they didn't. They were on the lord's land, subject to the lord's whim. They paid their rent for the privilege to work his fields.
You are clearly not stupid, but you lack common sense if you trust any data put out by the federal reserve.
>Work harder than ever
More like machines work harder than ever. Productivity is up due to advanced in automation, not because people are actually working harder, they're actually working less
This guy gets it. It's actually shocking how so many people fail to connect technological progress and productivity and then dishonestly say, "No, I DO know that." Apparently not. Even time worked, tracked over time, has gone down through time.
Still, wage growth has stagnated, and it's not necessarily even connected with productivity.
Onlyfans is the real means of production.
>I demand more money for flipping burgers
And now you know why the rest of us don't respect you. You're entitled homosexuals who want to paid a king's ransom e to do little to nothing then pretend you're the one who was wronged when people tell you to frick off

Mate you are a pussy for bragging about mere 55h. I do 75-80h/week and I know a few guys who do 80-90h/week. You think you stand above others just because you work a little bit extra? Come on bro, where do you think you are?

Your just trading away your freedom for money
The trick is to do work you legitimately enjoy doing.
For example I make my living translating Japanese porn. The pay is mediocre but you can never claim that I am wasting my time doing something I don't want to do.
I like hentai, but I don't enjoy translating it. You enjoy helping others fap? That's kinda weird bro. But also lucky I guess.
How many times a day do you jerk off though
Are leftists incapable of understanding that there are people that enjoy working and consider anytime not spent making money to be wasted time?

What's lsd like?
I didn't enjoy it
I thought my life was going to end and I would get to the next plane of existence, but I didn't want my time here on Earth to end so it was 8 hours of suffering
Do you think you took to much?
Was the last time worth it?
>Was the last time worth it?
I basically got it for free from the guy who played drums in my brother's band so it's not like I didn't get my money's worth and it was certainly a memorable experience but at the same time it was awfully close to veering off into full blown "okay I'm having a meltdown and this shit's not going to wear off for hours what the frick do I do now" mode. SO I wouldn't say it was a negative experience but it reminded me that was possibility and I was much more wary going forward.
I'd say mushrooms are a little less of a dice roll when it comes to hallucinogens. Shrooms can frick you up just as badly but at least you have some idea of the quantity you're ingesting and can moderate it a bit. When somebody hands you a tab of paper you really have no fricking clue what the dosage is.
highly variable. The first few times I took it I just had kind of a mellow trip without all the stereotypical hallucinations, mostly just tracers and enhanced sensitivity to light and sound and a kind of pleasant dissociative experience. Like I was still myself but an alternate version of myself. Put a speaker down the end of a dark hallway playing pink floyd and walked down it slowly, went outside on the grass at night. It was fun as frick.
The last time...hoo boy. The sky started undulating like the ocean and snakes came out of the ground and when I couldn't deal and went inside every fiber of the carpet came alive and was moving independently. Fricking terrifying.
A friend of mine did LSD and wanted me to watch over him. He ended up screaming at the sky and constantly telling me he was afraid to close his eyes in case the next time he opened them, he'd be an old man. Don't think he did it again.

Although it has been proclaimed that “health care is a right, not a privilege,” this neat dichotomy ignores the vast territory in between, where most decisions are made as trade-offs.
If health insurance is a right and not a privilege— and not even a subject of incremental trade-offs— then the same should be even more true of food. History in fact shows all too many instances of governments trying to keep food affordable, usually with disastrous consequences.
Whether in France during the 1790s, the Soviet Union after the Bolshevik revolution, or in newly independent African nations during the past generation, governments have imposed artificially low prices on food. In each case, this led to artificially low supplies of food and artificially high levels of hunger.
People who complain about the “prohibitive” cost of housing, or of going to college, for example, fail to understand that the whole point of costs is to be prohibitive.
Why do we go through this whole rigmarole of passing around dollar bills and writing each other checks, except to force everyone to economize on the country’s inherently limited resources?
What about “basic necessities”? Shouldn’t they be a “right”?
The idea certainly sounds nice. But the very fact that we can seriously entertain such a notion, as if we were God on the first day of creation, instead of mortals constrained by the universe we find in place, shows the utter unreality of failing to understand that we can only make choices among alternatives actually available.
For society as a whole, nothing comes as a “right” to which we are “entitled.” Even bare subsistence has to be produced— and produced at a cost of heavy toil for much of human history.
If you liked it, you will never be a real woman. ACK!
The problem with threads like these is that they are clearly frequented by young people that just started their first wagie side-job and think adult life and actual work is exactly like that.
No shit working cashier jobs, waiting or stocking shelves is soul sucking and trash. That's just to hold you over when you're a student. When you actually have a normal fricking job you get to do things you actually love. You chose in what industry to specialize precisely so that you can spend your time doing what you enjoy.
Doing a job you enjoy while working with people that are similar to you is actually great. Sure there is still pressure like having to meet deadlines and making overtime during tense hours but on average your job is going to feel rewarding not only financially but intrinsically on an emotional level as well.
If you're reading this as some aimless early to mid 20 year old, don't worry bro. It'll all resolve itself in your 30s as long as you don't give up and willing to apply yourself.
I used to be depressed as a 25 year old dreading adult working life. Now in my early 30s I finally make good money, get to enjoy doing everything in life I wanted to do. Work is starting to be rewarding from an emotional perspective as you get more responsibilities.
Life is designed to make the puzzle pieces click into place. There's way too much melodrama about jobs and life/work balance online.
Trust me on this one, it's all way better than you think, life will work itself out and you will end up happy eventually. Just don't give up as a NEET or go into some soul sucking position just because you (think) you can make a lot of money at the position. Follow your passion. You only have 60-90 years of existence here so don't waste it doing something you don't enjoy. But you WILL enjoy work if it's in a field you are interested in and you put in genuine effort, I fricking guarantee this to you.
Soys like you will never get it. We don't want to be born. We don't want to be born so that we can perform our glorious duties and obtain our glorious purpose by baseding out over our glorious jobs and then die. We don't want to be born to onions out like you. We don't want to be born and still you soys make us. You make more and more of us forever and ever and you tell us to onions like you.
Why do Japanese people love the Joker?
>character is a socually inept incel who finally has enough and lashes out at the society that treated him like he was a disposable commodity
>country full of socially inept incels treated like disposable commodities finds this appealing
boy, i'd love to be treated as a commodity. a commodity you say - like gold, or oil? so what you're saying is, i'll be valued as an individual? sounds good.
Single-use diapers are a commodity, too, anon. And getting shit on then thrown away and forgotten is a much more apt analogy for most of us
imagine how many aren't commodified at all, because they've been priced out of the job market by minimum wage, free trade, and over regulation. imagine how many people contribute nothing to society but WANT to. imagine how many people apply for thousands of jobs for years before finding work. that's what i think about
it's valued. some people have no value, because the SOCIETY that tells them to make themselves valuable the same way their parents did makes it impossible for them to do that. put that in your pipe and smoke it
>capitalism would be better if we gave more power to capitalist entities
i'd break up monopolies. most of the companies in the s&p 500 are government subsidized communist monopolies as far as im concerned. microsoft especially is a soviet tractor factory design bureau - and technology has suffered greatly from it. the tax system also needs to be more progressive, since it disproportionately targets lower income brackets
>making monopolies stronger would totally break them up bro
how would splitting up monopolies make them stronger? you gotta explain this one to me
>how would giving more power to capitalist entities make them stronger?
for about a century, corporations had two very limited/regulated means to influence politics, lobbying and campaign contributions. it took them a while, but they eventually got the supreme court to say limitations on lobbying and campaign contributions were infringements of free speech, because they're considered citizens of the united states.
so you're currently living in a world where capitalist entities have absolute control over the world. and you're arguing that they need more, and giving them more will make them weaker.
You're kidding.
it's the managerial class who has power
https://www.city-journal.org/wokeness-the-highest-stage-of-managerialism
But if Burnham were alive today, he might see wokeness as exactly that: a systematized, managerial ideology capable of standing on its own as a claim to rulership over society on behalf of the new class of managers. Indeed, many of the dynamics that worried or fascinated thinkers like Burnham during the interwar and New Deal era seem to reappear today in hypertrophied form.
Let us return to the question of ownership versus control. Here, wokeness serves to abrogate property rights, as seen in many controversies taking place in the business world. Consider the fate of the video-game behemoth Activision Blizzard, recently bought by Microsoft. After various ex-employees leveled allegations of workplace mistreatment and a frat-boy culture at its California offices, the company found itself under siege from multiple directions. First, the state of California sued it. Then, the media started covering the story with fervor. Various NGOs and activist organizations jumped into the fray, and the Securities and Exchange Commission launched an investigation. Though the original accusations against the company had to do only with sexual misconduct in the workplace, the list of demands made on Activision Blizzard quickly expanded beyond the original crime. Firing the offending workers or instituting mere workplace reform wasn’t good enough; rather, Activision Blizzard would need to open up its internal hiring and firing decisions to some sort of public review to ensure that it met various “diversity” targets. If one reads between the lines of the controversy, it becomes clear that the owners of a company now must subject their hiring process to review by other managerial institutions.
i'm arguing that we need a dynamic, competitive economy - not a stagnant one dominated by a handful of companies subsidized and protected by a government run by those same companies. taxes need to target large companies more and small business and the middle class less. i'm also arguing that monopolies and even sufficiently large companies should be broken up. i also think people should lobby and invest themselves instead of funding fake video games like star citizen on kickstarter - and don't tell me people can't afford to. we also need to throw workplace health and safety in the fricking trash can immediately. i don't care if a few people die or are crippled - doesn't matter. workplace health and safety is based on the same logic that lead us to destroy the global economy and inject hundreds of millions of people an untested vaccine over a comparatively mild (possibly non existent) virus. the current minimum wage is also moronic and ass backwards as frick
>we need a dynamic, competitive economy - not a stagnant one dominated by a handful of companies
the only way to prevent this outcome is by having regulatory bodies ensure no companies can corner various markets.
corporations are not capable of regulating themselves or regulating each other, as that would require them to act outside the interest of profit.
The problem isn't with large businesses
There's benefits to economies of scale
the problem is barriers to entry preventing new companies from entering. And that's all legislative. Occupational licensing. compliance costs. there's a reasons that mom & pop businesses went bankrupt and big businesses consolidated their positions during covid. It's because the government forced small businesses to shut down and kept big business open, because big business had enough money to throw at compliance while small companies had a tight operation with no margin of error
damn straight
i mean, i'd still want the largest companies partitioned just to shake things up but damn straight
America is ill served by it's monopolies or duopolies. Be it Coke and Pepsi or Republicans and Democrats.
Japan and America both have vending machines but the difference is choice. You have real choice in Japan.
the barrier to being able to compete with multi-national corporations is the fact they have the resources and scale to make competition impossible.
giving them more power won't change this.
But gold or oil isn't valued as an individual. Just an amount. Nobody cares about a single unit of oil. And if you said "if you burn this much oil, I will give you a gold equivalent to more value than that oil" they'd burn it in a second, we do it every day when we drive to work.
I work 32 hours a week (4 days a week). I have 8 weeks off a year and I make $80,000 without a degree with 3 years experience. I have no idea why people claim that life is shitty in 2022. My working hours and compensation is better than my dad whose was better than my granddad. My fellow millennials might just be the biggest fricking whiny homosexuals in history, making it seem like life is shitty.
Millennials and Zoomers are lazy homosexuals, only explanation
I have a law degree and all the jobs I did so far were terrible (60+ hour weeks for like $10 an hour) maybe I should just start hauling bricks to buildsites

I am at school just outside of the top 20 and in top 20 percent of my class, aiming top 15 but its competitive as frick
Law is a dead career path that is projected to contract in the future, every year more people graduate than available jobs, almost the opposite of IT jobs where the amount of available jobs have grown faster than graduates for almost 40 consecutive years now. Do you actually have a passions for the Law or did you just go into it because you think it's prestigious and think you can make good money doing it? If it's the last I highly recommend you rethink that decision and do some soul searching before continuing.
Not him, but my dad is a lawyer and he recommends I don't become a lawyer. Lawyers look glamorous in Hollywood, but I was on a grand jury for a few days, and the reality of being a lawyer is so damn boring. The only way being a lawyer would be fun is I was defending people who got framed for murder like Kathleen Zellner.
Yes. I am passionate about the law.
How are you on Cinemaphile and into law? I thought Cinemaphile was all about subverting authority.
I went to frickin Yale man, its just that the law firms out there have 15 applicants for every junior position and can afford to tell you to go frick yourself
lmao you are not getting paid 10/hr as a Yale Law grad
they're getting paid a fixed salary and then being worked 150 hours a week
yea the billable hour is going to frick you as an associate. I know.
junior position? you mean associates? post degree larper
The mistake a lot of people made is thinking degree = better working hours and better compensation. While in reality it's just supply and demand.
Not a lot of young people want to go into construction or trucking anymore so truck drivers and construction workers are now paid more than lawyers and medical workers. My recommendation is to just do whatever you enjoy no matter the financial compensation. From my personal experience it usually makes your life better while compensation over time matches the passion you put into it.
its just a collection of stolen scenes from taxi driver and king of comedy, and the only reason anyone watched it was fake astroturfed political controversy. probably one of the most cynically made things i've seen. i do like it for its commentary on society THOUGH

You people don't know suffering until you've worked 70+ hours a week.
I work 70+ hours a week. I don't think you understand how suffering works. Suffering requires contrasts. I suffer way less now compared to when I had days off. This is because there is no contrast between the days. When I had weekends I experienced envy towards my weekend self during the week. That envy was the source of my suffering.
