The math just isnt adding up anymore

I paid $40,000 in taxes for 2021. My rent was $12,000. To the powers that be……. this is not how you get me to show up for work. /rant edit: Billionaires have screwed over Americans because they are too dumb and continue to be too dumb to do anything about it.

Being in a union isn’t what you think it is

I was fired from $45/hr+ job as a 4th year apprentice union job for reporting to my OWN union representative in my company for miss filing my 401A contributions (not just me the whole company).

Opinion: The modern American higher educational system is equivalent to the miner’s company store of old

First and foremost I am not anti-intellectual and I am not anti-education. Very far from it in fact. I just believe that the quality of education in America is on par with the food provided at a public school. College education has, especially for the last two generations, been treated as an absolute necessity to have any hope of living a financially stable life. The thing is, many statistics show (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong here) that less than 50% of college grads find a job in their studied field. On top of that student loans are the only type of debt that cannot be discharged under any circumstances except for death (and they'll still chase your estate if you have one). All signed up for by 17 and 18 year old young adults with absolutely no real concept of the working world and surviving…
