I’m so effing done with capitalism

I've been trying so hard to find a job in my field, and nothing. I've applied to 26 jobs in the last couple of weeks. 17 no's and 9 people didn't even respond. Just finished my degree, and every g***amn “entry level” position requires a minimum of 1-3 years of experience. At this point, why do I even bother? My bills just keep getting higher, and my funds just keep getting lower. Never going to pay off my debt, never going to afford a house, never going to be able to give my son a decent life. I hate this all so much… I just want the economy in the US to crash, I have nothing to lose. I hate that this is what our.livea have become. Just a rant, but advice would be appreciated. Just seconds from giving up at any given moment

I’m starting a new job soon but,

My employment agent told me that I gotta go down to the workplace for roughly 1-2h, to familiarise myself with the place and the work done there, but it's unpaid. Is this legal? I'm from Singapore btw.

Moving to a cheaper area to be rent free work/life balance?

My new landlord wants me out in 2 months, rents in the aea are $1000, and I was wondering if someone here could give me some advice. I'm looking to move out to Tennessee from Albany New York, this property i'm looking at purchasing is 5 miles outside kingsport. Is something like this a good move? The property taxes are very low, and it seems like a good fit, and even if I can't get any work the bills aren't very much, like it'd be a decade before i experienced any financial strain. Could some of you share your experiences in this regard?

What the hell

Let's be honest, work and capitalism have defined you on an individual level. You don't even know who you are without laboring your life away under capitalism. That's the real crime here that you refuse to acknowledge. Who are you? The core of who you really are without the corporations telling you who you are or should be? Your potential as a human and as a dreamer is being murdered every day by corporations. Can you even find yourself anymore? How long are you going to allow them to take away what really matters to you? Every day you are selling pieces of your soul to these companies for what? Shelter….food….Healthcare….Why are these basic human needs locked behind a corporate paywall? How much more will they take from you? How much more will you lose? Will you die for them? for their profits? will your children die for their profits?

Democracy

If this is a democracy where is the voice of all of the people that say “fuck work!”? Because I never seem to hear from those people in this alleged democracy

anybody got some subtle pro-union quotes?

I have the opportunity to lead a department stand-up meeting where inspirational quotes are the tradition, and I want to start planting union seeds. I'm looking for some good subtle quotes to slip in, but Google seems to have a different definition of subtle than I do! Any help is appreciated!
