politics is usually a touchy subject

There is nothing a worker can do but allow himself to be exploited.

Sure you guys will say quit and find another job. How easy is it to walk away from a job when you have responsibilities to pay and there aren't many jobs floating around. How about when you have a kid/kids? Can you afford to just quit? No, most likely you will stay there and allow yourself to get exploited until you see a way out.

Sometimes I wish some of you could experience certain things so you see life is not always sweet when you are not the one on a cruise on a holiday blowing money that your "slave" is making you while you pay him shit, treat him like shit, and make him work on holidays while being "part time" yet they are working 40+ hours.

You really have no clue.

I have never, and will never be exploited because I made a decision to gain a marketable skill. If you dont choose a skill that is needed in the marketplace, that is your failure. My employer currently has over 4000 job openings nationwide that they cannot fill. If you cannot change jobs at the drop of a hat, it is because you dont have the skills needed, not because of the job market.

What things do I need to experience?

Being laid off? Been there, done that. Laid off twice in the matter of 6 months, both times back to work within a couple weeks.
Long term unemployment? been there too. When I was in school I had a very hard time finding work that would revolve around my school schedule. Fortunately for me, I gave myself options and was able to survive without steady work for over 2 years.
Blue collar work? Doing that now, also a union worker.
Blowing money my slave is making, sorry, never been there, I was born a couple hundred years too late. I am leaving on a cruise in a couple weeks though.


Who is making you work? No one but you. Acquire some marketable skills and you are the one that exploits the employer, not the other way around.

I always notice how the wealthier/business owners/ etc... hate Obama. wonder why? Is it because he doesn't allow them to do as they please? is it because he stops them from screwing others?

Maybe because they hate paying more taxes and being portrayed as 'the bad guy' all the time.

No. We should not. People have to stop thinking that you're a worthless individual unless you own a business. I don't necessarily wan to own a business. I really don't want to be a billionaire.

You're not worthless. You're only worthless if you have that mindset. And best of all blank, God doesn't think you're worthless. He finds value in everyone.

Life is hard. We all choose to our own path. Naruto-kun!

One thing is for sure, as long as there are people who still think corporations taking advantage of people is ok, it will continue to happen.

Then don't let them take advantage of you. Why is this hard? If you sincerely believe evolution to be real, I'm sure it didn't give up on trying... why should you?
