I’m 27 and never had a job that wasn’t minimum wage. I done well in school, but I have an autistic personality, I once had an interviewer ask why I was ‘standing weird’. I lost my job due to covid despite working hard for years, so neet now but hoping to get a job being a guy that fills up vans with online orders for minimum wage. Hopefully if I work hard at that job I might earn £9.50 one day.

Its not just inflation you niggers. Its also Purchasing Power Parity and Real Dollar Value.

Adjusted for inflation 1$ is **ONLY** 8.75 in 2020. Adjusted for PPP and RDV minimum wage in 1960 is equals to 35$ today

minimum wage was 1 dollar an hour in 1960. So a minimum wage worker would have to work 11,900 hours to buy a median value house.

Median House price today is 320,000. a minimum wage worker would have to work 44,137 hours to buy it.

real wages are a quarter of what they were.

The immigration meme is a lie, they’ll always be poor no matter the civilisation due to lack of generational wealth and unstable home life, nothing to do with a wage gap.

Dude do you hear yourself? This is the same insanity speaking through you like a puppet. Imagine thinking this is sustainable as long as we head unceasingly toward infinite population on a planet with already limited resources. We are already beyond peak sustainable population which is ~2B. This isnt even an environmentalist appeal, it’s an economic one. There are parts of the world that are already at war over limited local resources— and yes global warming contributes because its creating desert zones put of previously arable. land. The reason it doesnt seem like theres a problem yet is because the YS has the resources and power to further secure its resources.

Immigration *is* the policy of big business, you fucking retards.

It's actually a real travesty and ABLEIST AND DISCRIMINATORY that I do not receive disability, anon.
You see, I apparently have ADHD which is apparently a disorder even though for people with my IQ there's a valid argument it's just what you'd call "My brain works too fast for this shit, retard." But I accept it as a personal deficiency, of course!
The thing is just, no matter how hard I try...
I force myself to behave, and get a job. I TRY, anon.
But then the first time a small-dicked, divorced, visibly miserable middle-aged man speaks to me in any manner other than with perfect respect, the old brainy-doo kicks in like,
"LOL! Haha, oh boy." And the jig is up; and I'm walking away, mirth mirth mirth, before any other part of my brain has a chance to kick in.
It's not that I think I'm better than anyone, anon. It's not that I'm not WILLING to wageslave! By gosh. It's just...I don't know...if I could put a cap on this dignity, by golly I would! Just, try as I might - and they say my disorder is incurable, so that backs me up - the second I am treated with disrespect...I'm just like "Hahaha, as if!" Against all my higher-level impulses. What can I do?
It's been such a blessing since I've received this diagnosis, though. It's such a weight off! Because now when I am forced to start interviewing for jobs, and take any I am offered, to receive my NEETbucks...this time I can be honest. In the past, unaware that I had a legitimate condition, rather ascribing all my conflicts with society to a personality flaw, I felt compelled to play along and hide all of this - can you imagine?
I look forward to my government-mandated job interviews where I explain my incurable medical condition that means I am fundamentally, medically incapable of not laughing in someone's face and walking off the job right there and then the second they talk to me with anything other than the utmost respect.
God bless meritocracy, the welfare state, and - most of all - psychiatrists
