Times are indeed tough. For college grads, for singles, people that live in California and liberal cities, and people that live in normal states.

But here’s the key. Prior to the Steal job growth was increasing,taxes were going down, inflation was held at bay and the economy looked promising.

Then came Bidenomics.

They need to shut down immigration to zero so that citizens can get the jobs. The multinationals are raping America of its wealth and sending it overseas. We are going through what China did during the Opium Wars when the world raped it.

” The young person the story chronicled obtained a degree in English literature and imagined a future of working for a major publisher”

I’m gonna guess that AI will crush that niche for humans.

The obvious solution is to become a valued content creator with marketing skillz.

>> Let us all hope that we will choose freedom and sound money as the only real alternative to stagnation and collapse.

I doubt we choose it. I think sound money will choose US, and it’ll be tough answering the call.

Those of us who can grow and make and raise and DO will be ahead in the struggle. Those who exist by all the various forms of speculation and vaporous “skills” will have hard times, especially in the cities. It’ll be tough on everyone. On the brighter side, the obesity epidemic will subside. :-)

Eliminate all H1-Bs and stop any foreign college grad from a US university from taking a US job.

Go back home.

A country exists ONLY FOR ITS CITIZENS. It does not exist even for its companies.

They are gig workers. It’s their second and third jobs. [emphasis in the original]

Gee, imagine having two or even three jobs! Even if the second job is an "hourly job" with less prestige and lower wages than the first. And even if the third job is actually only "half a job" and involves, say, strolling through supermarket aisles and filling shopping carts (while being interviewed).

Summa summarum, that must add up to a pretty penny! Sure, the cumulative hours must be long, and the job security may be poor, but: Why complain?

Regards,

“the system that has robbed them of opportunity”

So what you get a worthless degree and you expect to be rewarded. Try suing the university to get your money back!

A simple return to freedom would work. It always has. The truth is a revolution larger than the Industrial Revolution is just about in reach. Machines making machines, automation with AI. There is a whole Solar System out there waiting to get used. It’s not happening because of the massive investment required. What if it produced profits instead? This is where automation fits in: machines don’t need to breath. The Voyager probe launched back in 1979 is still working billions of miles from home.

The only job growth bidenomics created was in government or illegals in the black market of labor. Few if any Americans were hired in the private sector. Actually, many Americans are still being laid off as their jobs are shipped overseas.

Want a career?, then concentrate in Science, Techical skills, Engineering, Mechanical skills. The rest is just unemployable fluff.

So a guy sends out 1000 resumes and no job... That says it all as to what’s wrong with the guy.

I was lucky. After graduating from high school I got a job in a production machine shop which paid about twice minimum wage. I had never even seen a machine tool up until then, but I learned on the job. There were occasional, temporary layoffs when business become slow but I hung on and eventually became a journeyman machinist.

After working 14 years in that business, my boss offered me a foreman position in a new machine shop he was starting. I took it.

Five years later, a major company bought the shop and offered me a salaried position as a ‘manufacturing specialist’, so I took that. I worked there for another 32 years and finally retired.

Lucky, to have continuous employment from October 1971 to September 2022.

"It took him a long time but he finally realized that there is nothing wrong with dishwashing. Any job is a respectable job."

He'll even lose that job to a 'migrant soon enough.

Leave the country and change your identity. That debt will never go away, so you have to.
