Guy Goodbody posted:Ever gain made in America in the past 100 years is hanging by a loving thread, and there's no one trying to save it. People a few pages back were complaining about people not voting for Clinton, inequality went up under Obama. Clinton wouldn't have stopped this, she would've at best delayed it a bit. and when it falls, guess what, we are all still alive. The people talking about how they were gonna die under Trump were indulging in childish fantasy that society would end along with them. We will live through this, and life will just be lovely for us all. Nothing ends, America doesn't collapse, it just gets lovely, and we live our lovely lives in it until we die older than any of us wanna think about, but still younger than we should be Oops, you didn't end your nihilism with LMBO so you get dinged! Night crew! LOL! (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

RIGHT?!

Guy Goodbody posted:Employers check credit scores. If the economy gets hosed again, and people with college debt can't get jobs and miss payments, then they'll be unemplyable forever. we are facing a hiring freeze and collapse because of standards set by the boomers and gen x peeps willingly shoving loans down their throats to get pieces of paper that they largely don't remember the education behind and it's gonna own when the entirety of skilled labor collapses because work experience doesn't translate as well on a resume as a degree I've been laid off twice from companies that promised to pay for a two-year in tech because of budget constrictions and didn't get hired at several new jobs because a 35-y/o who needs help setting up his email on his phone got my job with a BA in obsolete computer science and zero experience working in managed services for companies

Jazerus posted:like a fundamental part of the current abusiveness in the american employment dynamic is that a bunch of small protections have either been stripped away or simply were never created when they needed to be as technology and society changed, due to right-wing and neoliberal interference in regulatory agencies there's a light at the end of the tunnel because millenials are having absolutely none of this poo poo turns out an issue with churning out a well-educated, digitally-adept workforce is that they're entirely mobile in ways unseen in previous generations and the company loyalty that was abused in previous generations doesn't exist

Fullhouse posted:I don't really foresee the public sector being much more stable since the austerity party is in nearly absolute power I worked for private industry under the so-called welfare party being in charge and it was a poo poo storm of staff cuts and austerity while the C-suite got million dollar raises year after year. The org I work for now is big enough to buy politicians so I should be fine, and if I'm not (and I'm absolutely planning for worst case scenario mind you) then I'll at least be better off than I would've been in the private sector
