    Are you really arguing that hard work gets you good jobs and good pay in the United States?

      Of course? And even if you only move laterally, you can still ditch the asshole employers.

      Please, keep telling yourself it’s hopeless. Curl into a ball and cry. Less competition for me.

        Hey you little bitch wannabe capitalist. I’m not in a ball crying, I’m making money like you’ll never see from the labor of my brain and my hands. You know what I do with it? I help my family and community, and get guns and ammo.

        Unless you’re just a nepo failed abortion. Go assume things about someone’s life and flaunt your privilege somewhere else.

      I mean, to some degree it actually does. Sure life isn’t fair, you can do right and still fail and such, but overall, if you play your cards right and make sure to learn and present yourself well you can absolutely build a resume and job hop up the career and economic ladder.

      Hell I’ve even had the displeasure of working with someone who literally only had interview and resume skills, was incapable of doing any semblance of the job he was hired to perform and appeared to simply job hop as soon as a given job caught on that he didn’t have any of the skills his resume indicated he had

      Edit for clarity

        Just listen to yourself. You’re in a social stratification that has blinded you. You’re using english about work in a way that is incomprehensible to the average person in the US.

        Even your triumphant story of getting someone fired because they lied on their resume stinks of privilege.

        Trust me, you’re much closer to us laborers than you are to your rich-ass owners, and they’ll flick you off their boots like a fly.
