Almost 80% of US workers live from paycheck to paycheck. Here's why

[8WON6]

things will never change because too many people don't really want wealth to be redistributed, they just want to be wealthy in this system, and they think they just gone "climb the ladder" and be rich via "work hard and save".

and some of these idiot racists would rather things stay the same just to keep a lot of black folks in check. Instead of having a true meritocracy, they'd rather shyt still be based on old money and nepotism to keep blacks down. Literally voting against their own interests.

Honestly there's an article about this damn near every day for the past couple years.

At some point something's gotta give

Southeast Portland tenants mount rent strike

This D.C. rent strike mirrors other efforts in gentrifying cities across the country

Rent Strike Wave Comes to Highland Park in Los Angeles

Amazon warehouse workers are striking across Europe on Prime Day

everyday folk are slowly, slowly peeping game and wising up.

Two? fundamental forces have changed the structure of the US economy, directly altering the balance of power between business and labor. The first is the increasing difficulty for workers of joining together in trade unions. The second is the growing ease by which corporations can join together in oligopolies or to form monopolies.
============================================
No!

third force is the alternate labor pool that business draws upon.....h-1b visa workers in skilled jobs & undocumented people working unskilled and lower skilled jobs

H-1b visa workers make up only a small part of the labor pool. Also there are very strict requirements for a h-1b visa, starting with that to qualify for the H-the prospective H-1B employee must hold a U.S. bachelor's or higher degree, or the equivalent. Another requirement is that nobody else in the US would be able to do that job.

Undocumented people working unskilled and lower skilled jobs, let's face it: most Americans don't want to do those jobs. So that makes them much less of a threat to you than they are a service to your country. Simply said: if you removed all undocumented workers today it would IMMEDIATELY be felt throughout the country as there would be an immense disruption of services Americans take for granted.

it isn’t necessarily people don’t wanna do the jobs it’s just the jobs don’t pay shyt or the conditions will fukk your body up in the long haul.

Lack of labor unions and people bein too bytch made to sacrifice and stand together for the greater good against these companies when it comes to wages and benefits

Hell there’s a huge demographic of people ( college grads ) payin to work bullshyt jobs just to get by.

Look at sports / politics and it’ll tell you how dumb and brainwashed the average American is when it comes to common sense shyt. They’ll be angry as hell at players when it comes to them standing together for something because they already “get paid millions” while never lookin at the owners that don’t risk health or anything else who make significantly more.

Look at how many people get mad at the thought of fast food employees makin 15$ an hour... yea the job is “easy” but it’s a terrible fukkin job that you couldn’t pay a lot of people to do. Like a major multinational corporation is hurting or needs yo average ass to defend them

Corps and the rich got a lot of lemmings under their control subconsciously

 

[Strapped]

Blame greedy companies like
Walmart
Amazon

Alot of this is fueled by wall street earnings & greed

Until there is some type of revolt or revolution...things will continue to stay the same.

At the end of the day...those in power (mostly cacs) don't feel any real pressure or threat to make change. So why would they?

They sit back on some... shyt.

Banking on the fact...most ppl are too cowardly to really band together to incite change. There's also too many clowns in society walkin around with false hope thinking those at the top are gonna toss broke nggas a bone...

And when I say revolt...I mean revolt and riot on some Gangs of NY type shyt. When ppl just got fed up...attacked the rich at their homes...burned shyt to the ground...etc. Their kids attacked...their financial institutions...prized possessions...etc. Things that would make them feel it or really hit home.

Only then would they sympathize with ppls plight...

Right now...those at the top stick it to you, go home to their mansions, their communities, own schools...supermarkets...etc. They aint gotta deal with the less fortunates reality.


"fukk your struggle..we're fine on this side..."

"Recession? What recession?"

They've created a world outside of reality...where they've totally insulated themselves.

Everyone gotta take an L for the greater good to happen IMO.

And who is still going to eat? The Universities who convince people to pay them 100s of thousand dollars in order to get that job that has you living check to check

Law schools need to be abolished!!

I put the blame on broke cacs particularly in the south. Idiots stay voting against their interests. They're literally and figuratively mecenaries/cannon fodder for wealthy whites like trump who don't give a fukk about them.

Well sir ,when they vote to put certain people in office that will put people in place to assist them in getting by & would make a negro jump thru hoops to just fill out an application. It's a win for the deep states / states right

 

[DatNkkaCutty]

Another thing Ill add is you see how detached those at the top (again mostly cacs) are from reality...anytime a rich person opens their mouth about what the common person gotta go thru on a regular basis...

"You mean everyone doesn't have a refigerator full of food? Take vacations? Have a 401K? A savings? Can afford a car note or put their kids thru school?"

If you don't have these things...they think your a fukk up or financially iliterate. I see a couple c00ns in here takin the "financially illiterate" route too...

But let's be clear....I've never seen anyone make more shyt happen or stretch something longer than a broke ngga with a $20 bill...

So miss me wit that shyt. Cats can't save what they don't have or can't get too.

I live paycheck to paycheck because everything is fukking expensive
