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

You don't think I am? I work 40 hours a week. Bill's take 95% of my wages.

it's not the majority my dude

I'm not saying it's only 2% of people who live like that

but it definitely isn't 51%

@CatLoverKid really? Because I can't begin to count how many people I've met who are in situations like mine. It's a nationwide issue

Don't hate the player

Nor the game

you live in a pretty impoverished place it sounds like though.

I might be wrong in that assessment

Actually I live in the richest county in my state

wait sorry, then it doesn't sound like you NEED to move far, just slightly away so you can live cheaper

And what? Move where? With what money?

do you not have friends you can room with?

I've never lived with less than 3 people in an apartment

That isn't the point, the point is that I've been put in this position because of the very system you're defending

and the very system is what allowed me to get out of there

well okay, the system didn't just hand it to me

At the risk of ending up in the gutter like me
