How much money did you have to live on in going out there?

I think like $800

Did you have any savings? A job lined up? A place to stay?

I had a friend there

no job lined up

but I had incoming interviews

that was the final call

What an outrageous statement. You can't afford to live where you are, so move to one of the most expensive cities in the country and pray.

And I assume you have a degree or trade school?

I do *now*

but only just graduated in May

See this is what astounds me

I'm not gonna call you a liar, I believe every statement you've made about your life. But that's what astounds me

I'll gladly call you a liar and an autist.

🤷 okT

*okay

I'm pretty sure I AM autistic

You have been through the shit, you've been in a position of destitution, and you should understand how bad the system is and how much people have to risk like you say you did, and how fucked up that is... and yet... you don't understand it... you defend the system

so that's cool

I *do* understand how bad the system is, but I also understand the steps to get out of it

You very clearly do not.

okay sorry m8

wish I could

But you refuse to recognize that people shouldn't have to risk THAT much just to MAYBE have a shot

^

Theres acceptable risk and then theres insanity.

^

What you propose: Insanity or idiocy. I am unsure of which

@CatLoverKid do you realize that people like you who risk that much, who put that much on the line, and actually SUCCEED in life are so few and far between it's like a cup of sprinkles in an industrial vat of ice cream?

I do yeah

I recognize that I at least had somewhere to return to if I failed

even if I didn't have a plan to pay off my debt

We don't

^

We have nothing

It's strange to me, if the circumstances are THAT dire for you guys, why don't you spend all your time trying to find new solutions to fix this?

Konot and I are literally fighting for our very survival because the system fucked up.

Idk about you guys, but I kept up a regiment of applying to 3 jobs a day until I got one

And what we're trying to get you to think about is that the majority of people in the united states are just as fucked as we are, albeit with differences in situation
