Said the same week as RFK once again floats the idea of institutionalizing the disabled.
These are not off-the-cuff comments. Somewhere behind the veneer of stupidity, more and more members of the current government are pushing the need to imprison or conscript larger and larger swathes of the US population.
Legal slavery
I have a “real job” making almost $100k/year and things are still expensive. Should I also be sent to Cuba or Iran for stating the obvious?
“yes”, fascists, unironically, probably.
Well have you considered getting a real job where you put on make up and then sit in a room full of cameras while you just lie for an hour or two a day to a camera? Now that’s a real American job.
Quit being so entitled and thank Daddy Trump for what you do have!
My question is, can they please send me to Cuba? Fuck this country, I’ll take my expertise elsewhere.
like there is jobs everywhere and everyone is hiring….
but basically these conservatives are just assholes
Absolutely. And you can pay for a bachelor’s degree working a minimum wage job in the summers and you can buy a house and support a wife and kids with an entry-level job.
Or, wait, was that 80 years ago?
Something something avocado toast
I saw avocado toast on a menu for $17 the other day! Wtf! Who pays that?!
I just was at a hotel and the horrible ‘Continental’ breakfast with powdered eggs was 40 fucking dollars. It was included with my stay, but the food was too disgusting to eat. I don’t know why you would pay for it.
I think hotels like that are just banking on enough business travelers coming through who can expense any food to their company.

I was about to correct you, but no, it really has been 80 years. Time is cruel.
I mean, it wasn’t that long ago the the Simpsons represented the bottom of the middle class–a high-school educated father with a stable job (with dental plan) and a house, two cars, two kids, and a SAH wife.
Just a few years earlier Billy Joel was positively bitching “who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?” Like, yeah, that sounds pretty good relative to paying 60% of your income in rent, Anthony.
If you’re having trouble finding a job, have you tried just going into the company directly and asking? I’m sure they’d take one look at you and immediately see what an intelligent and capable person you are and hire you right away. /s
I think you replied to the wrong comment, but yeah, this advice just keeps getting worse every decade.
Some conservatices can appear decent, but absolutly every last republican is a fucking asshole after too much taco bell.
as if those jobs are truley hiring or just posting the listing there, or the fact the jobs are designed to take advantage of people.
Define ‘real job’, Jesse. Does that include sitting on you arse in front of a camera spewing lies to idiots?
Right? I would consider reporting, i.e putting a bit of yourself and putting your real opinions/demeanour into the role, to be a real job - but what these people do is just act as mouthpieces for the regime. Everything from their appearance too, to what they say, to how they say it (above tweet is a great example) is suppose to re-inforce the beliefs of our regime. Regime is the right word, btw - it simply means organised power.
Yeah. Watters isn’t a reporter. He’s a glove puppet, and an unconvincing one at that. Same goes for Leavitt.
hes a replacement for tucker carlson. his usual shtick was acting as a pundit against “degenerate libs” segment.
He’s an even dumber Tucker Carlson, if that’s even possible. So, a perfect Fox pundit.
his role was to get stereotypical “liberals” on his show to make fun of them.
They can’t afford food because they were born with silver spoons in their mouths. K.
It doesn’t have to make sense, it just has to make right wing boomers tut with disapproval as their biases are confirmed.
trump cant be bothered with such poor peoples metal, he prefers golden spoons.
I don’t think any of these assholes have ever had to dumpster dive for groceries before.
Had to? no … but I am certain that RFK Jr has done it for fun
Not much raccoon penis in dumpsters, is there?
I have to admit I was assuming dumpsters contained maybe more dead animals than was realistic
rfk jr prefers FRESH roadkill. no doubt he has the urges to eat a crow once.
Why would he need to dumpster dive when there’s an abundance of roadkill to be found on his daily commute?
Yeah Gen Z just needs to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and find a 65 year old billionaire to marry
or an 80yo billionaire, or a dickless musk, or the alien known as bezos.
Oh, they’ll go to war. Just not the one you think.
Bro reads lies from a teleprompter and calls it a real job. Is it comodity fetishism yet when you equate income with reality?
I’m in my forties making nearly 200k and shit is too expensive
Ive never in my life made more than 50k/yr and i have a good union job. I would probably literally kill for 200k/yr
Houses here are 900k+ for a shitty house
same here. and rent pretty matches the hcol area too. ive only know a handful of people living in or outlying area in the city that had <1k/month rent, but that was 10 years ago and likely from knowing the landlords personally(before all the bs renting sites existed)

sounds like HCOL, my bros who are in tech, when they had job before the layoffs had around if not more than 200k, and they couldnt justifying renting out. im nowhere near that income, too expensive to leave too. plus we also have the annoying property tax that the west coast is obsessed with adding to the expenses, they think they can indefinitely extract prop tax out of non-corporate landowners indefinitely. they should be targeting the BILLIONAIRES, hundred millionaires residing here. getting rid of nimbyism is a first step.
like the conservatives on WELFARE. or ms leavitt marries someone more twice her senior and supporting her. and then theres womans dating in red states, they were shocked that so many of them are living at home still with thier parents(from many accounts other platforms)
i thought it was the avacado toast ?
We’re calling it now a silver spoon? (trumps dick)
Something about stepping on your own group to get ahead, to be one of the boys, feels disgusting.
They would know all about lazy spoiled kids i’m sure
How can you hate your own kids?
[dupe]
I do get what Watters is talking about, though. I don’t know how prevalent it is in stats / the real world, but (social) media has a lot of smart and talented people on it that have just picked a shitty career, i.e. “not a real job”, and are writing like their economic difficulties are a problem with the system and not just their personal fault. If you’re a journalist and your parents are accountants you are going to be poorer than your parents, and that’s nobody else’s fault than yours. Some jobs are more passion project than salaried work, and if you don’t come from money you should stay far far away.
Before you come at me: Obviously basic health insurance (including teeth!) should be universal and we should build more housing and build more budget housing.
You’re right, if everyone was an accountant they’d be able to afford groceries! What are these young adults thinking going into jobs like groceries stores and fast food and expecting a wage that allows them to live a normal life! That’s totally on the workers and not at all on the greedy tyrants who perpetuate this prison they call capitalism.
I was hoping not to have to say this, but generally speaking I don’t think retail workers are the ones going viral on social media. Whether it’s writing skills or editing skills, socioeconomically downwardly mobile media employees are more likely to drive that side of the culture war.
Doesn’t mean the plight of the working poor in retail and other service work isn’t real, but I’d expect that to be more “quiet desperation” than “viral on Bluesky”.
Why wouldn’t people capable of more end up as retail workers? Do you think there’s a special job reserved for them when they’re born and they just choose not to do it?
