  • Like many generations before them, the current cohort of young adults isn’t necessarily looking to work for the man. The search for a stable salary and benefits, however, often poses a threat to this resolve. Gen Z is holding fast, though, trying to take hold of late-stage capitalism’s reins.

    We are constantly told we live in the greatest country in the world without actually being great at anything. Our education sucks, healthcare sucks, most jobs are low paying with no benefits or perks. Basic things like time of a paid vacation which are given to you by law in other countries. No parental leave or pay for parents, no assistance or time of for childcare, highest rates of incarceration, record levels of homelessness and child poverty in 2023. Also declining birthrates across the nation while inflation runs rampant and most can’t afford the basic necessities. Tell me again why we are so great. Because we have a few millionaires and billionaires while most are one paycheck away from being on the streets.

One of them being you live in some weird remote town that has no jobs. I’m very curious as to what internships you had in college and what job positions you’re applying to bc I’ve never seen a help desk job ask for minimum 3 years experience. On a side note, I hope you’re still applying to these jobs that are “entry level with 1-3 years experience” bc 90% of the time they don’t actually expect that experience.
      Theres so many questions I could ask bc this just doesn’t make sense. E.g. what certs have you gotten after college, how many applications have you submitted, are your people skills bad, resume bad etc. I’m sorry but there has to be a reason why you’re making 7.25 other than “the game is fucked” and chances are it’s something that you’re doing/not doing.

    Marxs had excellent forethought. He knew that in the end, the ruling classes, The rich, would force more and more people who were in the capitalist class into the proletariat. This makes the proletariat get bigger and bigger and also wiser. So in the end, you'll have a violent revolution of the masses. Why? Because the rich and ruling classes pretty much kicked Everybody out except the upper ranks and made these high class and highly educated people members of the proletariat.
    So in the future the proletariat has the upper hand. all of the old Intellectual might and resources that was in the bourgeoisie Class are now in the proletariat class. And they're going to help in this violent struggle to finally make a world good for all of us instead of a few people.

The American dream for young workers has been pushed back. Now it might take until your 40 to get that house. And disposable income is scarce for most young people and it sucks. But with out union representation your just a number and will have to take what compensation you can negotiate. Most corporations are always looking for better faster cheaper help.

    You cant breed the proper prol as of right now.
    Something about rights and not being ethical. I know this has not stopped them from trying in history (look at any super soldier project) but, they have to deal with us slaves free breeding and making worse options for them.
    Im sure they will soon make laws that some people can, should, and cannot freely go behind the tacobell.
    Either that or they will do what the failed ussr did and just force people to do jobs till they die (weather or not they can do it) and then put them in a hole when they no longer work.

    Here in Illinois, my mother used to work for the colleges and since it was not a right to work state, the teachers union never did anything to help the grievances of her co workers and faculty members from the schools actions.
