I think I’m pro-recession at this point

Like in saying I’m hoping for it to happen, or at least for it to get worse. day in the life of a 23 year old living in Chicago working in the tech industry.
Actually let’s go for Mad Max bad. The only way she’s making it 24 hours is if she’s turned into a sex slave. What I’d like to say to this spoiled idiot:

I have no idea what you're saying

My point is these people have never struggled for a single second in their lives and add nothing to society, and it’s about time they start trying. A recession should do it.

Did you mean "now"?

I’ll never cheer for a recession. But that doesn’t stop me from acknowledging that we’re currently in one or assigning blame.

We all know how she votes from inside her protective bubble.

Eh. I’ve slept with worse. I’ll keep her fed and in good health come the apocalypse

Man, look. That’s one spoiled arse “employee”. No doubt. She will lack perspective and likely bitch, moan and break at the slightest adversity.
However, I don’t begrudge her cushy job and life.
Have it.
But it’s wasteful and likely not sustainable for a company to provide that kinda bullshite with zero ROI.
Consumers of whatever she produces are footing the bill for this nonsense.

I agree, it feels like the last days of empire.
Posted on 8/21/22 at 10:27 am to OMLandshark
That felt like a parody video. But the world is nuts so I’m not sure. I know some tech companies that are exactly that way, too.

Does she do any actual work?
Aside from sending a couple of emails that takes 3 minutes and calling it a day
Doesn’t appear so

My God, it's even longer? Does this bitch do anything besides eat, drink lattes, and get drunk? How is she that thin, because she seems to eat three times the amount of calories a day than I do.
And Carl is correct that these people are basically domestic pets.

I've only read your title, nothing beyond that. And I have been thinking the same thing, but I am afraid that a small 'recession' is not going to cure what ails our nation.
I was born in the depths of the depression = 1938. Things were just beginning to turn around, and everything got progressively better for the next 50 years. But, I never knew I was in a depression - nobody I knew was any better off than I was, and some were worse off. I only had one pair of shoes and aside from going somewhere important, I went barefooted most of the time. Got my first pair of every-day shoes (Keds tennis shoes) when I started to school in '44. Some kids went to school barefooted.
Those were the happiest (most carefree) days of my entire life - nobody locked their doors, everyone helped out anyone who needed help. Before going to college, I knew of only one murder happening anywhere nearby - and my dad drove us all to DeRidder just to see where it happened.
Hoboes were a common sight - and all of them were polite. My mom would fix them a hot lunch when they came by, but she always told them to do some chore while she fixed it. I asked her once 'why do you make them do that? Those are my chores.' == she told me = "makes them feel better about themselves, they 'earned' it." That is the first principle of life that I knowingly internalized.
My first memory was Pearl Harbor (probably the day afterwards when we were all gathered around the radio listening to FDR declaration of war) And that is when we really began to get out of the depression - it was WWII that did it, not govt policy. The only 'policy' that did it was our response to the required war effort. Without WWII there is no telling how long - if ever - it would have taken to get us out of that.
So - in my estimation, we are entering a phase that is just as dangerous for our existence as a freedom-loving, liberty-demanding nation as we were then. That is the only model I have any experience with.
I have seen 'recessions' come and go, and the aftermath always degrades our moral precepts by a notch or two. It may be that only starvation level depressions are the secret to getting a moral society to take hold again. When the mid-level power-brokers start going broke themselves, they become less interested in feathering their own nests for 'advancement' than they are in just surviving for another month.
At that point, there are always more of "us" than there are "them" so the ballot box becomes the ultimate weapon.
But THAT does not even matter if the top-most powers hold onto the the counting of the vote.
Aside from a depression and all the agony that imposes on the population, we must insist on at least a FAIR ELECTION PROCESS this time around - and make it a constitutional requirement going forward.
My only worry is about the life my 3 great-grandchildren will be required to endure - or celebrate.
It all depends on what we do in the next 10 weeks.

I think what you're trying to say is while you're not looking forward to a recession, you are looking forward to seeing some of these ill-prepared people who live in a bubble struggle. I agree

I mean, this bitch lives like a Hobbit if it had grown up in the world of Minority Report. I mean, what do you do in this dystopian hellscape?
Posted on 8/21/22 at 11:16 am to OMLandshark
When people tell me how busy they are at work, this kind of thing is exactly what I imagine 
That and merely being present on endless meetings where they say nothing or add nothing of value.

Correct. It's going to get bad, but I'm going to enjoy their struggle. I'm prepared and have been preparing since the Fall of Kabul, but they are not.
