A bit more to the south

I am a college graduate and earn $500 a month. The pay is fixed and I have to put in a minimum of 45 hours a week, but I rarely manage to clock less than 50. Thankfully my parents don't hate me and they still bear me living with them.


Thank your god that you were not born in a 3rd world shithole anon

I really doubt it's much worse than california. How much is the cost of living there? Do you need a car to get anywhere? Did you get circumcised at birth?

Rent and food are very expensive, as expected. Most people here move into rented accomodations with housemates to save on rent and travel time. With the reduced travel time, they study to try and make it to a good college offering a master's course so that they can hopefully get out of this message. No one here can afford a car on their own this early, so everyone either boards the train, or buys a scooter. I doubt circumcision has anything to do with anything that is being discussed.

The system relies on young, productive people taking on debt and risk to ensure tight social control. Whether this is accidental or by (((design))), I do not know.

It's designed that way. You make just enough to survive so you have to keep working, all while buying everything you need at the retail chains. You work for them while buying from them. There was a story about a mine having its own currency that workers were payed instead of real money, and they used that currency to buy things where they worked. That way the mining company kept all profits and the miners had no incentive to leave because everything was provided for them, but they couldn't leave because the currency was useless anywhere else. The modern world feels exactly like that, but on a larger scale.
