I’m checking out of society.

I did everything right. Studied hard, got a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering, got a job, worked my ass off, put in extra hours, actively sought out ways to become more valuable at work, learned as much as I could, networked, tried to become a mentor to younger coworkers, went out of my way to help customers, got great performance reviews…none of it mattered. I got laid off and now, in the event that someone actually gives me a chance to interview, they offer me a job making what fast food workers make.

Hard work doesn’t matter anymore. The money is fake, the economy is completely dead, the country is run by and for geriatric dumbfuck useless boomers.

Can’t afford a car, can’t afford fast food, can’t afford a house, can’t afford a wife, can’t afford a decent place to live without the threat of getting shot.

I give up. I’m not contributing to society ever again. Fuck the USA.

You know the unaffordability crisis is global right?
I'd argue it's worse in places like Canada

it hasn't mattered since the 60s or 70s, but it was the most successful psyop in modern history on the poors
you get to work hard for scraps while the rich truly benefit from your labour, and soon with AI they're hoping they won't even need your hard work anymore

No shit. Kill yourself

I'm an argie brown 5' 5' poorfag who made low six figures in fucking crapto these years while our economy is a mess and look at you cowboy...you're like a crying like a little bitch because you couldn't make it in the fucking USA lololol a country where even illiterate illegal mexicans work hard and make it. Maybe the problem is (you), you played too hard abiding by the "rules"

Imagine thinking that anyone working for $75/day on a 10 hour shift is ‘making it’. Exactly how poor are you?

good, give up. less competition for me

Mexicans don’t work for 75 a day at all. They probably make more than you actually.don’t believe me? Go find a mex contractor and hire them.

>>60645606
You can take the roasties lol

>>60645269
Bro what-- At least here, starting a business is literally one page of paperwork and a $60 processing fee. Government grants are everywhere so in most cases it costs basically nothing to start a business... People are relying on traditional employment less and less because of the new provincial healthcare programs; it's less risky to lose your work benefits and start your own thing so people are starting to adapt and do what's being incentivized.

>>60645275
I'd argue investing in debt is much more productive with better returns. Either that or derivatives, albeit the latter of the two means having to mitigate more market risk and can be a pain-in-the-ass.

How? Where do you live, what do you drive so little, and how do you drive so little?

I got my used car in December 2019 with 37k, and now at I'm like 110k miles on it. My commute to work has always been 10 to 20 miles. You must go literally nowhere

>>60645254 (OP)
Youve taken an important step in realizing everything is a scam. You sound like a fairly blue pilled individual if all of this was a surprise to you, things are going to get worse as the same thing happens to more people as they're replaced with AI or H1B pajeets. Everyone needs to get real skills and store their wealth in real money as soon as they can

The only thing left to do with our mech e degrees is to move to a third world country and offer to build them a nuclear weapons program in exchange for a small harem. Death to America. You guys think Iran is hiring engineers?

>>60645610
Laborers, the majority being Mexican, make peanuts. You don’t know wtf you’re taking about lol

>>60645977
yes, but Israel keeps killing them.

I got a masters degree, made barely 6k a month, got laid off when trump slashed the national parks stuff despite doing the work of 3 people, now they are hiring retards to fill my gap which will cost them more than keeping me on

Got a job serving instead. I make 20/h in pay + tips which hilariously puts me at 40-50 an hour so now I’m literally making more money serving people steaks than I did with my masters degree

Current world is fucked. I bought a used car in 2013 for 4 grand I can sell that car today for 7k. What the actual fuck is going on.

>>60645269
>I'd argue it's worse in places like Canada
It's fucked here.

>>60645254 (OP)
Back in 2018, $1000 got you a car that got you to work. Shits insane now. I still remember busting my ass and teaching myself delayed gratification to get my first car and that month where I got three pay periods instead of the usual two. Man I wanted to quit so bad, I pushed through though. Now everything is just different. Guess it was always gonna happen.

Everybody already knows Canada or Argentina are shit holes and you can't make it there, there have never been promises of the Canadian or Argentinian dream
The deep state has ruined the American dream, the entire world sucks now

I'm in the same boat as you, OP, except I'm a software engineer. Got my Bull of Shit degree in computer science, worked for 10 years, became the youngest technical architect in the history of my company. 90% of my effort was spent babysitting diversity hires who had no business building software. I made $160k/year at my highest point and ran the numbers and STILL found it would take me a decade to afford a decent house where the next door niggers don't wake me up every night with their bullshit. So I quit my job and now I scrounge together my cost of living by day trading S&P futures. Been doing this for almost 18 months. I'll be right there with you watching the world burn, at least until I just kill myself around age 40. There's nothing to live for.

>>60647355
read the great gatsby anon. F Scott Fitzgerald believed the american dream was already dead in 1923, before the deep state. they just got better at lying, causing you to believe it was still alive just before you got here

>>60645254 (OP)
Its not your fault. They've been devaluing labor for years to improve profit margins. They will continue to do so. Making the number go up is the ONLY thing CEO's & board members care about. And the government is in bed with them because the GDP is all they care about.

When you draw this to the logical conclusion it does not end well for society.

The wealthy are extracting maximum value from the system at the expense of everything: the White and East Asian races, cultures, safe/beautiful public spaces, the survivability of our species. They've gone into the "loot everything as it all crashes down" mode. The 1% will use automation to enslave 9% and let 90% starve to death and kill each other.

is anyone gonna post the meme of the soiboy leaning over the oven in the one bedroom apartment saying OP's post verbatim? or are we taking this thread to the bumplimit over a twitter post mixed with a copypasta?
i would but i dont have it

>>60647359
You aren’t supposed to buy it with cash man, just get the 20 year loan like you should eventually get rich on that. Boomers did that and made big money.

>>60645254 (OP)
This is the idiots rolling over negative equity. Dealers told them to fuck off so they are trying to bury someone else in their mess.
That being said, until we get the Toyota hylux for n the USA all car dealers can kiss my ass.

The American dream was unironically doomed by the time he wrote the book. We were just so far ahead in personal (unbanked) prosperity by that time it took 100 years to notice

>>60647797
Ah, I assumed they meant cia and fbi. which are really just tools of the fed, so you're right anyway

>>60647379
Well he was wrong. Boomers obviously lived the dream. America was a great place to live until 2000 or so.

>>60645738
That sounds expensive

>>60645881
NTA but I live in a city center and drive substantially less. It saves a lot

>>60647953
boomers complained and thought the previous generation had it better in the 50s. you gotta remember by the time they became real adults, the 70s recession was looming. they got rich in their 50s/60s, but 2008 wiped a good chunk of them out. ever consider that it's just getting continuously worse? in 50 years, the new generation will be talking about how good we had it when the majority of us are fucked

fucking kill yourself canadian faggot

just needs a 6 disc changer and I'm golden

Just buy a toyota or honda at 15 years and 100k miles for 8 grand dumbasses. Corollas are known to need little maintenance until 250k miles. Yet you still buy fords, chevys, dodge, fiat, jaguars, cadillacs, etc, etc, etc with known issues for decades.

Stop blaming the market for obvious consumer mistakes. Buy a car with a broken radio and stereo system and fit it with a new unit. Most bitches wont care about how expensive your vehicle is unless your going after the wrong one.

>aftermarket tablet instead of radio
>aftermarket surround stereo
>aftermarket seat warmer
>aftermarket this that
>pay someone a few hundred bucks to deep clean

Bam you saved yourself a few grand in fees that the dealership was going to throw at you. Again its fucking stupid to blame an obvious predatory market where the consumer has free will

>>60645269
As a rentoid wagie in Canada, I'm doing just fine. My rent is $900/mo in a small town and I work at Walmart. I still manage to save a few hundred per month and have 5 figures of liquid assets.

I don't have a car, I keep my costs and expectations low.

>>60648162
Blame the consumer not the dealership. Hate the player not the game

>>60648120
>2008
>boomers bailed out
Yeah like 10% of them. a bunch of them took out multiple mortgages and lost it all. my main point was gatsby was claiming the peak was prior to 1923. the greatest generation got the largest job boom in history, boomers complained they didn't. I was just pointing out every generation complains while it all gets worse for the next one

>>60648170
Its impressive how you can take away the consumers thought at repairing your own vehicle and convincing them they need to buy a modern car thats less than 5 years old and less than 100k miles.

Modern cars that arent shit are designed to last way past 300k miles with minimal maintenance

>>60645254 (OP)
> claims he did everything right

>>60645738
I know someone with a 320k mile Camry; you should be set for life.

>>60645738
Good choice. Just change the oil before every 3000 miles and do a yearly inspection. They usually last to 300k miles on minimal maintenance

>>60648174
>I was just pointing out every generation complains while it all gets worse for the next one
It used to get better...

>>60648228
people have always been on the losing side. please imagine how they will talk about the 2020s 40 years removed. they will remember the fun parts. stranger things doesn't bring up aids or the crack epidemic

>>60648244
you have blinders from recency bias. For at least decades maybe centuries life in US has been improving. Now its getting worse again.

>>60648003
>boomers complained and thought the previous generation had it better in the 50s.
I never heard this.
The boomers ate the seed corn, is what it boils down to. The 50s to the 90s were all pretty good.
I don't think boomers got wiped out in 08 unless they were extraordinarily retarded. My boomer parents bought a bank foreclosure condo which has since doubled or trebled in value.

>>60648244
It's not that complicated. Things ARE getting worse. Materially, they were getting better until recently.
You could say socially they have been getting worse for longer, which I believe, but pre boomers you had a bunch of wars and people living without electricity. America feasted economically after ww2.

>>60645581
only if op is muslim and likes raping kids though

>>60645254 (OP)
I hear you OP. I almost at 7 figures this bullrun and when I do, I'm getting the fuck out of the USA and becoming a sex tourist in the Phillippines. I did a trip there last year to check it out.

If you are white and under 50 and dress well, you can fuck a dozen women a month for free, and keep a harem of free pussy on demand. Barring the expense of drinks and maybe dinner/movie or something. I have impregnated three different women who asked me to give them a white baby, and didn't care that I was not going to take responsibility.

You can also get hookers for extremely cheap, and most of them you can bareback and creampie and they won't even bat an eyelash. I like to get a fresh 18 year old, eat her out until she is soaking wet, then lay her on my bed on her tummy and mount her from behind for a nice deep, grinding fuck. She doesn't even realize she's being barebacked until she feels a load of sperm being pumped into her belly. Filipinas are so dumb that you can just sweet talk them and they will come back for another round (to get bareback and creampied), even though they supposedly want to use a condom.

About 3 months into my own degenerate adventure I stopped giving a fuck about their feelings and straight up told the women I was fucking that I was going to try to knock them up, and that I was going to cum inside of them every time. To my surprise this made them even more eager and horny in bed, and pestered me to come over and fuck even more often. Even the hookers, who supposedly dont want a baby from a stranger.

The Philippines is a shithole, but for a white man who wants to COLONIZE brown asian cunt, it is the holy land and paradise.
