Because they've been indoctrinated to believe that they're not poor, they're just waiting to be rich. So any time there's policies that fuck the poor but benefit the rich even those below the poverty line will defend it because one day they'll be the ultrarich pissing downwards.

America is still pretty much the only place with no legally mandated holiday leave. Even the companies that provide good packages (by your country's standards) would be literally illegal in almost any other first world country, the UK for example has 28 days of leave per year, and at a lot of places that might not even include public holidays which add another 11 or so days.

Low level employees are the biggest asset to the company. Take my field for example. I work in the hospitality business in a 5 start hotel in Miami Beach (the hotel does not offer 5 start services or amenities, but people on trip advisor keep calling the hotel 5 start because of the prices)

Each week we have department meetings with all leaders to discuss last week's operations. Every single week it turns into a speech to treat our low level employees better as they are the face of our property, the ones who deal directly with the guests.

Are the employees recognized with.konetary compensation? No, we give them ice cream and coffee every couple of days.

Companies know the low level employees carry the most weight but simply refuse to give them the wages hey deserve, because the directors and exec members can't be fucked to lower their own wages or bonuses. Our director of revenue got a 74k bonus this year for all the sales made. Director of front office made 32k in bonuses. We fired 3 front office agents because they called out sick 2 times in a row.

On this particular issue there isn't that much regulation anon, I'm not saying the entire market is free, I'm saying that anyone working an entry level job is effectively in a free market because they are in competition with literally every other unemployed person in the area.
Because there is no regulation is why the companies have so much power in this situation. You don't have to treat your employees very well and people will still line up to take the last sap's job. It's taken even more to the extreme in those states with ridiculous "at-will" employment that pretty much allow companies to skirt all regulation regarding labour laws under the mantra of "if you don't like it, fuck off, we'll find someone who does".

asking a Swedish person how to properly stand in a line is like asking a Italian how to properly prepare Italian cuisine. it cant be properly explained in writing alone. the essential spacing and timing and the sublimity of the geometry is key. lines in Sweden form naturally, for example if you left a group of swedes in an empty room a orderly and efficient line would eventually form even if it has no destination. Swedish people will even stand in line when they're alone.

>>384570205
You're missing the point. A /single/ low level employee is worthless and replaceable in five minutes. a /single/ CEO suddenly leaving can do irreparable damage to the entire company. Now, if ALL the low level employees suddenly quit, then the company would probably go under and that's where unions come in. And of course, there are some exceptions when you get incredibly valuable low level employees, but that's the general idea. But America has been successfully brainwashed into thinking unions are bad. But that's a whole other issue.

I live in Sweden and I hate when ignorant ameritards tout my country as an example of why socialism is so great. You do realize there's a lot of other factors weighing into living standards of a country other than wether or not your healthcare system is government subsedized.

We pay abusrdely high taxes (30-50% income tax then 25% sales tax on all goods except food) and we get our tax money spent on absolutely lackluster, if not straight up garbage, governmental services. We are on a downward curve here precisely because we have this shitty socialism. Our success was thanks to us being extremely prosperous in the early 1900s thanks to having a free market system WITHOUT government intervention like we have everywhere now.

I'm doing well for myself in the aforementioned field because I had the luck of living in an area with a low amount of immigrants. It's called sympathy.

They live with their parents. Most of the "richfags" on /v/ are living with their parents and spending their money on vidya.

Anyone with an actual career, life, and bills to pay isn't spending their money on 5+ consoles and games, as we don't have enough TIME to make them worthwhile.

I have a PS4 and a WiiU, and that's it, and the WiiU is hacked. Out of all the games that have come out this year for PS4, I've only bought Blazblue. I look forward to picking up Tekken 7, and the Rev 2 update for Guilty Gear soon, and that's it. I'll pick up NieR, and Nioh, and Persona 5 when I have time to sit down and properly play them. On the WiiU, it's essentially ca Smash machine for me.

Unions are generally bad and unncessary with modern workers rights. My experience with unions is a shit worker that can't be fired because he's protected, paying into a union each month that offers me nothing, draining my paycheck even more, and now demanding that highly paid voice actors be given royalties. The entire purpose of the rise of unions was to prevent workers from being fired or mistreated because they sustained injuries on work, or got pregnant, etc. The type of malicious shit companies used to pull that is now illegal.

My point being that anyone trying to get into their first job doesn't have "attractive skills" by the definition of many companies, and none of them will teach you skills if you don't already have them. Do you see the problem here?

It's a question of time for me, not money.

My first answer was going to be "I'm a richfag" but regardless of that I rarely buy games at release since I've already got a massive backlog and most of the time you can get them for half price or even less within 6 months or wait even longer and just get them in a bundle or big sale for barely anything.

>>384571009

>>384570757
I studied information systems and want to be doing high level IT work. There's plenty of demand in the industry, but the vast majority of it is dead end bullshit that wants you to be a one man army for a poverty wage with no benefits.

I was lucky enough to find a high paying job that I loved at the beginning of 2016 and everything was awesome. My life was on track, I was finally able to afford everything I wanted and could comfortably pay down my debts worry-free. Then some guy in a suit decided he could save a couple of bucks by replacing me with cheaper Indian labor and fired me a few days before Christmas. Seven months later I'm still unemployed despite having a fantastic resume because the only offers out there are through jew agencies that want to farm me out for short term contracts until I die.

The bottom line is you can do everything right and bust your ass off all you want, but your success is still determined by a fucking dice roll and everything can be taken away from you on a whim. Millenials watched this happen to their parents and are experiencing it happening to them, so is it any fucking wonder they don't want to work?

>>384570849
Germany could be even better with a free, libertarian market. There is no doubt libertarian market principles create higher standards of living.

Germany being okay isn't a case for socialism being good. Compare actual free markets like Hong Kong to extremely regulated ones like the US, Sweden and even Venezuela.

>>384570986
>highly paid

VA's aren't actually that well paid.

Also >muh shit workers that can't be fired

Yeah this happens, but there's ways of dealing with that internally if you actually engage with unionism. And no, half the shit you say is literally still a thing, there is no maternity pay for women in the US in most places.

>>384570965
To be fair, it's not hard to see why, since 2008 the idea of getting off the ground has been dead, life starts at 30 is becoming more than just a phrase to keep people from feeling old, it's becoming reality.

So why would you expect people on /v/ to know a trade union song? Most people are here are unemployed and the rest I would doubt would either be in a union or require one.

What modern worker's rights would those be?
The right to exactly zero vacation days a year? The right to a minimum wage that wouldn't even cover rent in a lot of cities? The right to "at-will" employment where a company can fire you for literally whatever reason (even ones which are federally illegal) because the companies write the laws?

Just because a company isn't allowed to put children in the coal mines and neglect fire safety doesn't mean you have good worker's rights.

Communism, socialism, call it what you like.

There's very little difference in the two.

What the hell are you guys spending money on where you cant get by on a single, full time job. I only make 2000€ per month as a research assistant, and that's more than enough to get by. Food, rent, and bills take 1000€. The rest can be blown on anything I want. And this is an entry level job.

I mean, if you were economically literate that might be a helpful starting position. Libertarian economics is a meme that no one that studies it actually respects any more. And there's entire schools which consider the mainstream to be just as bunk because anyone that studied Kalecki or Piketty in the last few decades could have told you everything they thought was impossible.

Military.

Its a stable environment where you are told what to do. Given Rent and Food free so even if you blow all your cash you still can survive. Given Any loan you want through military finance institutions like navy federal. Along with Low APR. Given free school where you can take 1 class and pocket the rest of the 5k they give you. Marry a friend boy or gal and double your paycheck to 4k a month. And even if it all fails you still have Post 9/11 and M GI bill.

There are literally no other terms you stupid fucker. Pajeet will never be able to do my job as well as I do, but he will always be cheaper, and the amount of companies willing to actually pay for quality instead of doing everything in their power to shave down labor costs will always be infinitesimal. This is how it works in the US, you're more likely to win the lottery than find a stable job with any sort of protections.

There is legitimately no reason whatsoever for me or anyone in my position to want to participate in a workforce that demands 70+ hours a week with no overtime pay, max 10 vacation days per year, pathetic health coverage that requires me to pay out of pocket for a supplemental plan, etc. with absolutely zero safety net. Yes, come slave away for us and sacrifice your lifestyle and all of your free time for the kind of salary that only barely allows you to survive.

The liberalisation of finance in the 1970s. Regan and Thatcher fucked us up bad. The free movement of finance is what allows people to just move jobs to china and the like so easily. It was done systemically because there was an on-going tug of war where prices rose, wages rose and there was inflation. This hurt creditors because the real value of mortgages would fall. So they funded a market friendly revolution.

I feel you fellow lazy Homer Simpson Power Plant Technician. I work for a company that manages satellite dish arrays, there's 5 minutes of work every hour, the rest of the time I have my feet on my desk watching Youtube videos, torrented movies or playing my 3DS.

The pay's also really good with a pension plan and health benefits.

Literally the only downside is that I have to occasionally interact with people infinitely smarter than me and sometimes it bums me out but then I think of the billions of people who are worse off than me and everything's ok again.

Post your face when I pay that alone for my cell phone bill, monthly. I get unlimited call time, 200 text messages, and 2GB of cell data.

I can't modify my plan to cut out/down call time.
Paying for more data would bump it up to $150.

The next best option is $50 a month at another company for the same package, but I would need to pay through to nose at my current provider to unlock my phone.

If you're feeling the pressure of the economy, just remember that what you're going through today is nothing compared to the complete fucking shitstorm that's coming within the next 10 years and that no matter how hard you work or how much you save today, you and everyone you know and love are basically fucked.

I do, actually. And I do get paid for my work, but if I tried to survive off that work alone I'd literally be homeless. I HAVE to have a supplemental income. That being said, I have to manage my time carefully and lots of nights I'm too tired/exhausted from my day job to do anything creatively but I make time to do what I love. I would probably go insane otherwise.

Point is, you can do what you love and still live comfortably anons. Nothing is without a mix of hard work and sacrifice/compromise though.

If you don't want risks, toss it in a savings account and save it for a house. If you just don't know where to start, find an investment manager. The lawyer that helped with your settlement might know one and if not, I'm sure there's one at your bank.

Labour is already cheaper than automation. It took mcdonalds the 15 dollar minimum wage to cut SOME of their employees for machines. You are literally cheaper than a touchscreen to mcdonalds in several states. Let that sink in.

I envy you anon. If I stop working to afford housing I literally go homeless, wish I had a place to be and save money and get better education. Definitely stay there as long as you can.

We need another world war. The prolonged homeland peace simply can't handle the population levels and the best way for a fast increase in the quality of life is the peace that comes after war. Look at Germany before and after the Thirty Years War. They went from zero to the fast track to becoming a world superpower that required all of Europe + more to stop them on two occasions. War pulled America out of the Great Depression. War is the answer, it's just not a very pretty one.

Or we could have a populace that vote for politicians that actually care about workers and strip executives of their absurd power and wealth?
Is that too farfetched? Are Americans really too brainwashed to vote for their own interests and would literally prefer to go to fucking war?

I work a slightly above minimum wage office job for the minimum amount of hours to be full time. I pay my rent/utilities, carpool to work for practically nothing, and budget my food carefully by taking advantage of coupons/sales.

Bankers can get money printed and if the economy actually notices it they'll squeeze it from you. Don't let them do that shit, they should be the ones being "squeezed" considering their version of it is having to get a slightly less nice suit this year instead of having to claw for basic needs.

Getting a job's easy. All you have to do is pass P, FM and C while at a decent college for a math, business or economics degree, get a GPA of at least 3.60, learn VBA, get an internship under your belt and then convince the interviewer you're the least autistic person who's applied for the job who will also pass the rest of their exams while working full-time for them. Simple!

What, don't you want the best job in America?

Since the day we can reason, the media, our parents, our schools, everything foster you to get some form of education, is your key to jump to the middle class, the system is needed since we need people to fill those low level entry jobs, but the door to go higher is there, specially if your family had low income like mine, I have zero debts right now.

Educate yourself fucktards, grab a book, college is easier than high school, so you have no excusses.

The rich at the top will not let go for dear life. Politicians have to play the game of politics and that involves either conforming or being killed off for threatening to change the status quo. Soon you're gonna reach the point where revolution will be the only way out, although revolution changes nothing, that's why when you've done a full one it's just 360 degrees.
