    what's weird to me is this catch-22 situation where i'm a liberal arts soy boy hippie, and yet i'm also dumb for working with my hands? make up your mind

    i was never interested in taking my degree to like, law school or whatever because i hate lawyers

    i enjoy working with my hands, i love being in shape, and quite frankly it's more effective to agitate when i can talk with blue-collar workers about their problems and encourage them to clash with their boss (which is me but lol) because at the end of the day, you need the people on your side

    where i come from it's a form of weakness if you have to hire someone to work on shit for you, real men know how to do shit. ya boy jerome is a man of mind -and- muscle. a jack of all trades. a renaissance man.

          my geography professor told us that "socialist europe" was a "treeless barren wasteland"

          sounds like something you'd say, are you a liberal?

          • If someone smarter than you tells you how shitty socialism was why are you proudly one now?

            • Also, would you argue the virtues of socialism with someone who had to live through it? Would you tell some starving Venezuelan family about how great his countries policies are while their family starves to death?

                because people like you kept telling 18-year-old ayn rand-loving me that college was some liberal arts indoctrination facility

                so i went and found that it wasn't

                so i started to wonder who's really indoctrinated here, people who go to college or people who are convinced that college is some cultural marxism re-education camp

                ...it's kind of like how when people tell you that weed is exactly the same as heroin, and then you smoke weed and you're like "man if they were lying about how bad weed is, what else are they lying about"

                i asked myself "man if my conservative heroes were lying about college, what else are they lying about?"

                turns out: alot

                  • Lying about a lot in what sense? The fact that you were able to go to work today, come home, eat whatever you wanted to eat at a store full of food, get on the computer, whine about the system that gave you the ability to do all these things. What do you honestly have to complain about is what I am asking. What do you want to change so badly, you want what.. bernie sanders to be elected president and give free college to everyone even though you know as well as I do that a majority of people are too fucking stupid to actually get anything useful from it. It is just a fucking joke and you know it, you have so many good things in your life and you don't know what to do with all the free time you have so you find stupid shit to complain about and do to make yourself feel better, and when that doesn't work you smoke a joint or something. It isn't much of a life, and there is a reason you aren't fulfilled as a person.

                    • If you were making 300k a year instead of 40k(estimating based on facial hair) would you really still be sitting here whining about this shit? Do you want the company you work for to give over control of it to you and your fellow workers and not make any money himself?

                      • A group of fucking supposedly full grown men go out and print socialism cards that they actually keep in their wallets and then go to work like good capitalists and pay their bills. Fuck man its just embarrassing to imagine, do you have a socialism club with a secret knock and you go down there to complain about ameritoctracy while drinking o'douls. Do you think in most socialist countries you are allowed to do all the drugs you enjoy or do you think that they probably crack down on all those freedoms pretty hard considering you are still slaves to the people in power, but under a different name?

                          i don't even know where to begin here. for starters i am aware of things outside of my own asshole, i pay attention to my surroundings and other people.

                          when i started working at fedex there was an ideological component: i wanted to work there as opposed to like, the postal service because i wanted to work for a company and not the government. i worked my ass off, got promoted, and for six years i dealt with employees who often didn't have it as good as you seem to indicate. and unfortunately their problems weren't all self-created. some people were lazy, yes, but more were just trapped in a shitty system.

                          here in America, we spend more on healthcare per capita than any other country. what does that tell me? we -HAVE- the money to afford decent healthcare, but the money is being spent INEFFICIENTLY. working at a warehouse, i had to deal with our shitty healthcare system all the time. people don't get routine checkups because alot of people are living paycheck to paycheck. this literally affects fedex's bottom line, because we have people who put off going to the doctor after throwing out their arm or spraining their ankle and they work themselves to the bone and then wind up in the ER with a hernia or a torn ligament or something.

                          this is what i don't understand: universal healthcare is one of the best economic decisions a country can make, but conservatives have this warped sense of economics where if a government does it, it's not good? and so despite the fact that it's economically feasible, and would improve the average worker's health, and make them better workers... we can't do it because MuH sOcIaLiSm!!!!!!!! which is weird because conservatives worship 1) socialized law enforcement (the police) and 2) socialized national defense (the military) so clearly there's some wiggle room for when "socialist" institutions are good. apparently it's worth it to pay tax money towards killing people, but god forbid we spend money to save lives.

                          this is my own experience. on top of that my mother has been a social worker for 30 years, and my father has been a probation officer for 30 years. if you'd like, i could regale you with tales from their own experiences: dealing with people trapped in a shitty system, a vast majority of them through little to no fault of their own.

                          i guess my problem is i pay too much attention to things around me. i should shut my eyes and ears, focus on myself, say "fuck other people", and live that kthx lifestyle.

                          edit: also i dont like talking about it but i watched someone die at fedex due to heat exhaustion. and then sat in HR meetings where the main concern was minimizing liability and potential loss of revenue because of it. if being a capitalist means looking at people as numbers and costs, fuck capitalism.

                          • Well first off you are full of shit if you think socialized medicine will work here in America, and your understanding of what much of our health costs are from are wrong as well. So I will ask you a few simple questions and statements.

                            1. How much population does the biggest country with full socialized medicine have.
                            2. How many of the worlds drugs, drug patents, drug trials, come from America, that is factored into our cost and other countries get to use these drugs for the cost of the drug.
                            3. How high is the tax rate for these countries, do they pay 60/70% of their income into the government in exchange for that "free healthcare"?

                            Again, being a warehouse worker is a unfortunately shitty job man, I have done it before, I hated it, the pay was garbage and it was hard work. I chose to go out and get my CDL and become a driver, it took me three months to get the testing done, rent a truck and get tested at the DMV. Less than three months after that I had my first driving job going from 11.50 an hour to 17.50 an hour, I continued to bust my ass extremely hard and was promoted to driving manager. I decided to put my ass on the line fighting for my drivers to get cost of living raises and safety bonuses among other things. Don't fucking sit here and tell me that I don't care or that I didn't earn what I have in my life when you have no clue as to what kind of person I am. You are right I generally have very little sympathy for a grown ass man being afraid to further his own career, or better his own life by doing something else with it, or making something better of it. That however is not the fault of the government, it isn't the fault of Fedex itself, and it certainly isn't your own fucking fault either. Now I am comfortable after paying my wifes way through college (She was in the army so got the GI Bill but still didn't work while going to college) as she became a teacher. So now finally at the age of almost 33, we have our house, have our kids, have our vehicles, and have the jobs we earned. So yes I can sit here and say this shit because there was a time I lived paycheck to paycheck, and had to pawn shit to pay my apartment rent, but I decided to do something about it instead of wallowing in despair and giving up on life. Any fucking one of those men could have done the same.

                            • If you felt that fucking bad you should have pushed to get them higher wages even if it cost your job, obviously your socialism only extends to caring about others when it doesn't affect you.

                              Or better yet, told them how much the drivers at Fedex get paid and helped them get into company-paid driver helper positions to start learning the driving trade so they could make more money.
