Why can’t people be pissed off with what a private company does? Like if there is a sweet company that makes blueberry flavour and it’s the best. If they stop selling it then I can be pissed. The argument “well it’s a private company it can do what it wants” is in no way related to if I get to be pissed at it.
They have freedom to do as they please, but whining about it does about as much as whining about blueberry flavor.
We aren’t saying you can’t be pissed, we are saying it is completely stupid that you are pissed and there is nothing you can do. There are far more things to be worried about in this country. We are eating ourselves alive, life expectancy is dropping, suicide rate and overdose rate is climbing, our jobs are being given to foreign countries and robots, no one owns anything anymore.
I’m starting to believe people whine about these pointless things in order to avoid confronting the more complicated and deeply rooted issues we have.
Culture and community is absolutely important to a lot of people. In fact it could be very important for happiness.
Maybe people don’t care about monetary things as much as you. Or maybe they care about both. It’s possible to care about everything you said and the superbowl.
No. My capitalist country paid for most of my education the rest I paid for on a low interest government backed loan. Total came to just over a years median salary.
I used my grandads old car as it was largely worthless until it completely died on me within a year then I bought my own secondhand car. But that was after uni and working for a bit, so I used my own money for that car.
my government gave me a loan at 6.8%. The amount I have paid into it is the same as the original principle amount, I still owe 80% of it because of the interest. I am making 2x the average American and am still on a hamster wheel of the capitalist death cult. I will never own anything at this rate
But there are more capitalist countries without stupid education loans than with, it’s kinda just you guys. You really need some form of proporional representation.
Well, you can choose the things you care about. Why waste your energy getting upset about something that has zero negative consequences in your life when you could be doing something productive, <s> like arguing on Lemmy? </s>
I never understand this argument from Americans.

The only people not thinking about money are those who are privileged by wealth.
Some of us paid for our own school, car, etc. some had a $100k head start. Willing to bet you are in that second group.
If people care about these things why are so few people talking about it? Why are we whining about flavors and pop stars so much instead?
It’s cool that you don’t have to worry about the future, but some of us want our children to not be slaves

Yes the poltical system in America is terrible.

Exactly we all wasting our time here.
I have no problem, as a concept, with people complaining about things there care about.
Yeah you’re right. I’m out. Have a good night!
Good luck to you.
