Today
I watched Sicko today
It was a really interesting watch and it made me want to move out of this country
The healthcare system here is atrocious
But what can we expect i guess.
Each generation pays for the mistakes of its elders and our elders fucked up beyond belief
I just hope things are better for my kids cause the way it looks now we'll have no healthcare, no social security, and it's not like we'll be able to retire anyway because we work for less than those before us did.
We are a generation of very educated, skilled workers. Yet we cannot find jobs in the fields in which we study so we become worker ants taking any job we can to get by. I started asking random people at the supermarket, restauraunts, dry cleaners, bars what they did for a living. The majority of people i talked to respond with " I studied __blank___ and i got my degree but I'm doing this only for the meantime," When i ask them how long they've been a cashier, bartender, dry cleaner, car salesman, secretary, barista etc. and the answer is always at least two to three years +. That's so sad. There are so many educated people drowning in debt because they can't get the job that they in fact deserve that they become prisoners of their own situation. I feel that can almost sum up any 18 to 30 year old in California. We're working for less, deserving more, but we can't do anything about it because no matter where you try to work companies are not going to hire the person who'll do the job better they''ll hire the person who will do it cheaper.
Everyone is broke, living plastic dreams on credit cards. The bitch of it is it's the generation that came before us that is not willing to help us now. They have their savings, their pensions, their home that they were lucky enough to only pay 100k for and these same people have the audacity to wonder why most young Californians have it rough. When your paying 1200+ for rent because you can't buy an inexpensive 400k house, plus your car, plus your credit cards and student debt, all the while working at your entry level position with the shit salary. It's no wonder most of us are one major car repair away from being financially fucked.
In the grand scheme of things our children will have it harder than we will. That's what scares me the most is the fact that if I think that I have it rough now unless there's a major change in the way things are run in this country my children's future will be so bleak i don't see how they are gonna make it.
I guess I'll see when it happens
I understand why things are the way they are but it still doesn't make the pill any easier to swallow
