My Unemployment

I love working but people don't seem to like hiring me. They'd rather hire lazy drug users who obviously are not the best people for the job or else the companies they work for wouldn't be losing revenue and/or declaring bankruptcy.

I was fired from a temporary job once. This shocks me. My coworkers and I were assembling boxes and we were given an equal number of boxes, I did all of my work flawlessly in about 1 hour but all of my co-workers took at least 4 hours. Shouldn't I be rewarded for doing my share of the work better and faster? Should I have helped my coworkers? I would've been fired for leaving my designated work area.

I don't pretend to work. I either work or I don't. Over 10% of our country is unemployed (and that's not counting people like me who never make jobless claims). What few jobs are available are being given to obviously unqualified people. Most of them are not legal citizens and cannot speak English and if they are a native-born American, they have green colored hair, lip piercings, and do drugs. What's going on? Is there no common sense or is there an invisible hand orchestrating all of this on purpose to ruin the economy and society?

Find some way to get income even something dreadful like food stamps, welfare, or jobless claims. Good luck in line behind all those niggers and spics. And sit back on a lawn chair with a bowl of popcorn and watch as the economy crumbles after digging itself into a hole over the past several decades.

I saw this commercial for the Volkswagen Jetta and it depicted a man doing several odd jobs (while Another Day, Another Dollar by Wynn Stewart plays) so he could buy a car. I wouldn't mind doing any of those jobs.

300 job applications and hundreds of hours of volunteer work says otherwise.

I don't know where exactly you live, I'm assuming the US since you said your country is 10% unemployed, but I could be wrong. Either way, I'd be willing to bet that there's some silly regulation law on the books that make companies obligated to hire such people.

Tsk. So not /lounge/ worthy of a post.

yes it is the invisible hand of the free market, the modern-day Moloch, and you have been chosen as sacrifice to appease his wrath for another day

"First MOLOCH, horrid King besmear'd with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents tears,
Though, for the noyse of Drums and Timbrels loud,
Their children's cries unheard that passed through fire
To his grim Idol. Him the AMMONITE
Worshipt in RABBA and her watry Plain,
In ARGOB and in BASAN, to the stream
Of utmost ARNON. Nor content with such
Audacious neighbourhood, the wisest heart
Of SOLOMON he led by fraud to build
His Temple right against the Temple of God
On that opprobrious Hill, and made his Grove
The pleasant Vally of HINNOM, TOPHET thence
And black GEHENNA call'd, the Type of Hell."

free market
No such thing. Hasn't been since probably before the Great Depression.

worship of it brought us previous depressions since industrialization began, and worship of it chipped away at much of attempts to tame the beast that were tried during recovery from the Great Depression, as the great corruption of US Christianity ensures one nation under Invisible Hand

But that's the whole point though, you can't have an actual free market exist when for one thing you have a central bank deciding when to arbitrarily raise or lower interest rates. If anything, they worship a status quo corporatist regime where a handful of corporations and governments hold the majority of the wealth. They often refer to this as the "free market" and the invisible hand. It is shameful.

Adam Smith himself would be rolling in his grave for support of such a perverted system.

>>11
Not that I disagreed, just elaborating here.
The interest rate thing is part of attempts to tame the beast (monetary policy or fiscal policy or whatever the hell that I forgot about).  Before taming of any sort, industrialization brought boom and bust cycles that really sucked.  Corporations themselves attempted smoothing through collusion or cartel or progression to a monolopy power, but in doing so defeating the desired competition model.  But anyhow we've got the problem of the Cult of the Invisible Hand pulling too many strings and even convinced the common people and wedded it to their Christianity, even as the common people go down the shitter, still clinging to the worship.  Indeed, shameful.  Shameful.  Ugh.

For capitalism being so free why does it follow so many rules?

There is nothing "communistic" about the government of a nation giving hundreds of billions to corporations and big business so that they can continue their same greedy, risky, and self-destructive practices under the guise of "free-markets." What a communist society would do, and certainly any socialist one, would not be to hand a blank check of trillions from the public to save corporate institutions...instead we would nationalize them, so that the public could have a minimal a say in how they are run... Giving billions to capitalists is the last thing anything or anyone "communistic" would do.

>>13
Exactly, the only true free market would be the rejection of any particular system or model. Anyway the current state of the American economy and most "developed" economies is neither capitalist nor socialist but "Keynesian" which is a load of crap.

Those lazy drug users have something you don't, communication skills maybe even charisma. Now go sit in your corner mumbling to yourself.

well if there's one thing that is obvious in these posts, is that it would suck even worse if it was somehow 100% free (which could never last anyway as inevitably you get concentrations of power -- as how chieftons, or kings seem to just come to be in the course of human nature, so you get corporate titans and plutarchs)

>>14
Exactly. It's "corporatist" not "communistic". Corporatism is the system where giving billions to "capitalists" is practiced.
