  • So get fired, fix nothing, and possibly some prison time. On the plus side the rent, food, and medical issues would be resolved. For real I hear what you are saying but I’m not sure you quite understand what it would take to make something happen and this is with precedent at least towards unions. Even with large strikes. It would take far more people than I and everyone I know that would be willing trying to get others to for this to work. I’m not saying I won’t but looks at bank account I’ve got enough to run for 2 weeks in the bank with no opportunity for more. There is no gov assistance here or at least one that can cover even the average rent alone for a max of 2 months in your LIFE. Food? Hahaha medical? Hahahhaha so yeah open to options, but I’m not a martyr. Something you non us people seem to forget is how concentrated most places are like France with Paris that’s it you protest in one city and get things done. We don’t have that luxury. We also do not have that culture. We do not have that small of a place to organize. One area falls short and none of this works out. Logistically it’s a nightmare to even think about. Revolutions of that size are not started in a year or even years. Those are in the size of decades and you might get a part of the country to split off maybe. For work related things most of these companies would rather shut down camp and reopen under another name than let a union form. They have fired entire campuses before just to avoid it then hire up in no time to replace you. This isn’t like it is out there.

    Do I think most of my fellow Americans are sitting on their asses? Absolutely. Do I think most even give a shit enough to vote let alone start a movement or be a part of one? Haha hell no we got less than 33% turnout to even vote. People in my area actually just up and vanish when they even talk about this. We are working on it but you all either need to be patient or drop the bombs yourself if that schedule isn’t for you.






  • This is good advice, but do kinda worry about the money. Just don’t obsess about the money. Save what you can without sacrificing too much. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Talk to a financial advisor that you trust ideally one that answers the question “are you a fiduciary” with a straight up “yes” anything else they aren’t one and fuck em. Work out a plan and find what’s realistic to accomplish, and how to get there. Start that today. Not tomorrow. Investments and savings work on time not just your deposits, and every 5 years you wait you double your contributions to stay at the same level of 5 years before. Be it $50 a week or $500k a year there’s no such thing as too little if that’s what you got. Also max whatever your explorer match is on the 401k. It’s free money basically. There is so much more but the truth is none of us are likely qualified to answer this your your situation or even in general.

    But yes have fun. Live for the moment. Take time off. Spend time with your family and friends. No one will remember you for your dedication to the grind, but perhaps they would be filled with resentment.
