Living paycheck to paycheck is disturbingly common: ‘I see no way out.’

When nikkas are full of shyt they answer questions with a question. It’s like if someone asked them to answer a yes or no question, does public smoking cause negative effects to people around them. YES or NO? And theyll respond by saying big corporations pollute the environment a thousand times more than any smokers could. It’s almost Trumpian in the way they dodge and deflect :wow: There’s some whatsboutism in there too :wow: Trolls gonna Troll I guess. Obama, Hilary, Biden, Bernie, none of the people who matter for the Dems share any of their viewpoints about open borders (it’s idiotic) so I don’t know why these cats feel so emboldened in the first place. Oh yea, anybody reading this thread please do not google or waste your time looking for any facts or statistics to back up your arguments about anything in this thread. Nap spends like 80 hours a week in here, posts link after link and it’s discarded as quick he hits submits. None of these cats are reading that shyt.

The biggest issues I see with paycheck to paycheck folks is they made some pretty horrible life choices early on, or are just plain dumb. I can legitimately say that the few ones I can see are the ones that have chronic health issues, failed marriages late in life, affected by disasters etc.

Outside of that? If you had kids with a deadbeat or thot by 20, racked up debt, and live beyond your means? You cant seriously think you're making the best financial decisions?

Blaming corporate big wigs is easy, because you have to know the game is rigged. Like any other. Its only going to get worse as more and more people compete.

This thread is about the majority of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.

2 pages later, you've yet to show how immigrants from South and Central America are the reason. :russ:

Yeah what up with that. The main argument should be that corporations are not pay what they should pay employees in which is why they are living pay check to pay check because most of their money goes to bills on things that have increased but our pay has not.

This illegal immigrant babble is irrelevant

shyt is silly. It can be both the corporations and illegals..






But anyway.. american workers didn't argue for their productivity gains in the 70s. Really too late to do anything about corporate greed now.

You not having the intelligence to connect the dots has nothing to do with me. The top 1% are hoarding the wealth in this country. Wages have remained stagnant for everyone else. Most of our generation will likely work until they die, never have enough to retire on and never pay back their debts. On what logical basis can you argue adding another ten to fifty million people to this scenario who WILL undercut wages. Serious question. Are you a troll?

Probably the only time in the history of the internet I seen someone lay down all that evidence and have the complete opposite conclusion. My God you're a retard. :mjlol:

In other words, you’re an idiot. You and others can’t understand the simple law of scarcity. Have enough oxygen for 10 people then let 100 people come in brehs :mjlol: Philosophize on why there’s not enough oxygen for everyone until you start seeing stars and blackness :mjlol:

Foreign laborers do lower wages for blue collar workers though. You can’t say the Coli is out of touch about how life is like for the average person but then be such a classist that you don’t care about how illegal immigration deflates wages. Wages have kept stagnant for decades. The average American makes like $40,000, is in debt up to his eyeballs, has very little saved for retirement and doesn’t have ten $100 bills in the bank. I think the 1% captured some 80% of the wealth generated last year. Companies took that tax cut and bought back shares instead of investing in their employees and companies :umad: If you can read all that and still support 500,000 to 1 million undocumented people coming in every year then you definitely give no fukks about anyone but yourself.

Imagine thinking the reason black people struggle in this country is because of illegal immigrants and not racist whites and attempt to call people out of touch.

But that eases your guilt so I see why you do it. :yeshrug:
Racist whites who won't hire black men but will hire illegals for low wages are why black families struggle.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’ve been replying to individual comments in this thread but not the OP and the thread topic specifically. nikkas will never admit that illegals damper wages for the poorest Americans and it’s highly irritating when it’s readily apparent to anyone that’s looking. That’s one thing. But as far as the thread topic is actually concerned, wages are constrained because the elite are hoarding the wealth. Because of automation. Offshoring. Overworking workers for less pay after realizing what they could get away with post 2007-2008. Credential inflation. Debt loads making job seekers desperate. Plus illegal immigration. When you bundle it all together, it’s a dangerous cocktail designed to keep us all racing to the bottom so they can pocket the surplus.

I just left Harris Teeter. Mostly black workers. No illegal immigrants. They're still living paycheck paycheck.

Same for Walmart.

Same for Amazon warehouse workers.

I could go on.
