Merry Fucking Christmas

Hello all...

What a great site. I can vent without killing anybody or anything.

So this whole Christmas bullshit is a total scam. The whole shopping and spending and bullshit advertising..... bla bla bla...I hear this shit daily on the fucking radio(which I almost don't listen do) and on the goddam TV(which I barely watch any more). Tons of fucking propaganda about buying all the useless shit(from china mostly). I don't know who to blame.

Speaking of jobs..... I work in manufacturing, sort of. The other people thought we should get the boss a gift certificate or something for this fucking christmas shit, and they decided $20 each we chip in.....(a few people). What the fuck? My boss makes probably 5X what I make, he makes money off me all fucking year, in fact I produce each day at least 5X(sometimes 10X) what I get paid and now we are supposed to get him shit? I don't get it. He should get us shit for making him fucking rich all year. This is total goddam bullshit. But what am I to do? Say no? I won't give the money because I don't feel like it? I don't make that much as is and now this shit. Fuck. I don't even spend this much for people I know. Another thing is, I'm now doing a shit job that I was not even hired for, just because the boss won't hire anybody else to fucking do it.. what the fuck? They hire you for one thing and make you do another almost totally unrelated? I'm pissed off. Feel like telling the boss to go fuck himself and do the bullshit boring ass job himself if he won't hire anybody. Unfortunately, monthly bills just don't go away and I have yet to hit the 6 winning numbers, so the sad fucking saga continues. I'm fucking stuck and I can't get out. You tell me go to school, learn something. I'll tell you I've been there and school won't do you shit. The only time school will do you shit is if you go to one of say top 5 or top 10 schools in the country and get to know the right people. Having skills these days doesn't mean you will get anywhere. You say start your own business. I say bullshit. Most business startups fail(90%) in the first year because of financial difficulties(read: the dumb ass that starts the business overestimates his revenues and profits and does not plan for the worse). To start any business I would right now need probably 3-4 years worth of my monthly bills and 2-3 years of daily operating costs of the business(assume business won't make revenue and profits at all). That way you are prepared if the business fails prematurely because of poor planning or other issues. So lets say I would need about $120K for bills and another $120K to get the business going, or roughly $250K, and I'm still not guaranteed that the business will succeed despite best efforts.

So what's a person to do? Work for somebody else, make him money and then retire(at 80 maybe) and hope to get $500 per month from social security. You make just enough to pay the bare minimum bills, drive old beat up car, no cable, no cell phone, no satellite dish bla bla, and you spend this and next month it's all over again. In the meantime all the prices keep going up and your boss keeps bitching that you are already expensive for him. What the fuck? How can I be expensive if I make him 5X what I cost each day? Without me he is losing more than by having me there. This is why employers HATE to give you vacation, they not only not make the 5X what they pay you, but they have to pay you for not making the 5X plus your normal shitty wages. So if you are there say they make 4X what they pay you(after paying you) and if you are not there they lose 6X what they pay you(you don't produce the 5X your cost and you also receive 1X your cost for doing nothing because you are not there). So 6X/4X=150%. It cost your boss 50% more by not having you there as it does to have you there and pay you to produce his 5X of your cost. Kind of shitty if you ask me. All the time the boss drives a car 20X more expensive than yours, takes vacation and days off whenever he fucking wants, and still bitches that you are too expensive. Fucking rat race man. I hate this fucking rat race bullshit. All the while the rich motherfuckers who have shit for brains and not 1 fucking usable skill, but their long lost fucking uncle or somebody created some wealth way way back.......live off interest, dividends and capital gains, while 100X smarter person works his ass off for fucking peanuts doing boring bullshit. Why the fuck it has to be like this? Why goddamit.

Ok, I'm done. Any comments?

Wow! I couldn't agree more! I'm sorry that you have it so rough, but please know that your story brought me some much needed laughter after a shitty, shitty day at work. I hate the holidays and all of the idiots who buy in to them. What a bunch of crap.

Just to add to my comments from before, I think the only way a NORMAL person can get rich is through the stock market. Granted, there are scams and bullshit pulled over there too, and all the time, but if you have half a brain and get a bit educated about what is what and why things happen you start to see patterns that you can use to your advantage. Recently I became interested in options(calls and puts) and I must say it's a very interesting concept(could call it cheap insurance) for time when the market is about to tank(such as right about now). Forget starting a business, need $250K+ these days to do anything meaningful. Poor people don't start businesses, rich fuckers do to get even more rich(greedy bastards), and then they hire us poor folk to do most(or all) the work while they reap 80% of the benefits on your back breaking labor.
You don't fucking believe me, just look at the retail business. What a fucking scam. Granted it does not take a brain suregon to be a cashier or some kind of shitty clerk at a store, and there are plenty of brainless fuckers that could do it(that's why the wages are low, high supply of workers willing to work for those shitty wages), but a lot of those huge companies make fucking billions of dollars(that's after taxes), so you figure they would pay a little more so their workers could at least afford to shop there. But fuck no. The corporate concept is to get the fucking workers for the BARE MINIMUM possible, while charging the HIGHEST POSSIBLE prices(that the market will bear of course), and to make a shitload of money for the owners(shareholders or long lost relatives of company founders who live the high life somewhere out there). It's fucked up, but this is the modern slave system. Before they would bring the fuckers from Africa, Zimbabwe or whatever, now there are a bunch of fuckers working for wages but still slaves. Mostly slaves to the banking institutions(mortgages, cars, stupid shit bought from china on all the credit cards)(up to 50% of most folks take home pay goes to pay the mortgage and utilities only) and to the companies at which they work and which pay just enough for them to survive and show up the next day(because they have no other fucking choice)
Sad fucking truth for 95% of the population. I'm sure in the USA is not as bad as china, but we are still slaves. We work for what they will pay us(wholesale cost) and we pay what they tell us(retail cost) because they own all the means of production. That is why the rich keep getting richer and poor, well, stay poor or worse. Some think they are rich because they got a $100K+ JOB(while still being a slave, just dismissing the reality). For you to make $100K the company has to make at least 10X that(depending on size of company) so you must produce over $1,000,000 in PROFIT(net of costs). Of which 90% goes to the big bosses/owners/shareholders etc. and 10% goes to you, while you put in 200% the effort. What a fucking system. Billy G was right, you can be dumb as a motherfucker, just have some money and hire some very smart people and you will live like a king. They will be fucking tripping over each other to make you money. Very pathetic system. I think the US is heading toward the likes of Brasil. Almost no middle class at all. You are either rich as fuck living it up, or poor as fuck living in the goddam favelas where life is cheap and nobody gives a fuck.
So the answer is, try to save a few bucks, learn what you can, invest/speculate etc in the market, try to make your first million $, then get the fuck out of the country to Costa Rica or some other cheap place and finally be free from oppressive bosses and shitty boring work.

ok done here, any comments?
