In 2017 America, we're forced to work over 70 hours a week and we CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO LIVE.

What will it take for Sup Forums to admit that Capitalism has failed?

Capitalism works just fine in Europe. It's just that american workers are omega cucks that take everything up the ass and ask for more. Even the Nips are less cucked in the workplace.

>human beings are barely worth enough to support themselves now

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean, but can capitalists justify it?

Of you have to work 70 hours a week and you still can't make it then you're in the wrong job, you can't negotiate a salary or fell into the overtime exempt salary meme. If you worked 70 hours in a week even at 12/hr with overtime you'd be making what.. 54k(ish) a year?

Stop mansplaining dolan blumpf's america to me

>forced to work 70 hours a week

You're retarded.

If you are working 70 hours a week and can't make ends meet, there are three possibilities.
1) You suck at managing money
2) You live in very expensive place and should move
3) You are in the wrong field of work
>you can change anytime you want, it's still America and we still have a ton of options and mobility.

>negotiate a salary meme
take note, this is when you know you’re talking to somebody who never had a job in their life. probably a NEET living off his parents.

m8 I work 40 hours a week, 4 days a week.

It means we've become such a reddit corporate slave society that capitalism is killing the brainless reddit scum by giving them the amount of money they're worth

maybe if the Democratic Party hadn't gone from being the party of working families to being the party of niggers and trannies, there would be a political solution.

>constantly vote in retarded laws that make it beneficial for employers to cut hours to avoid paying health care benefits but then blame capitalism for fucking it all up.

t. working class chump in commiefornia.

Yes, let's imagine for a minute you are a retard socialist in America:
Capitalism: you earn money if you are able to do something that someone will give you money for.
You: living in a huge ass city, filled with people.
You either decided to not learn any useful skill or you put yourself in a huge debt to get a useless liberal sciences' gender studies degree.
Now everything that you know how to do is something that everyone else knows or can learn in a day.
Now your liberal ass state wants to become a sanctuary state to let in a shit-ton of people in your exact same skill level.
Landowners: Holy shit, this place is filled to the brim with Americans and immigrants wanting to rent a place to live, my product has a lot of a value.
McDonalds: Holy shit, this place is filled to the brim with Americans and immigrants willing to do the job my employees do for less money.

You: Hurr Durr McDonalds should pay a $15 dollar minimum wage Huurrr

More like feminism and Jewish control of our money.

I work 40 hour a week, am good with money, and thus will be pissing away there grand on vacation in japan this january.

Making a living is not hard you retard. Go to a trade school, get a certification or two year degree, go work in a trade field of your choice, and make bank.

>He doesn't get to renegotiate his salary each fuckin trimester
Hahaha the absolute state of unskilled burgers

I fuckin wish I could work 70 hours a week. I would be making bank. These people are just living beyond their means probably eat all their meals at restaurants.

but i'm sure voting for globalists like Hillary would fix the economy, even though they're the ones selling the country out from under the citizens to foreign powers and letting international corps send all the jobs to slave mill nations while charging dumb goy $500 for that new iPhone that cost them 5 cents to make in china (don't forget to buy another one next year, gooood goy. also give Apple tax breaks because they're doing something with Green Energy, yes!)

...

Stop living in welfare states?

>In 2017
Muh current year

>we're forced to work
You choose to work, shithead.

>to work over 70 hours a week and we CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO LIVE
Fucking find a better job, asshole. If you don't produce enough labor of a high enough quality to earn the money support yourself, that's your fucking fault.

>Mexican laughing at Americans
Most of you are PARASITES. We're building a wall for a very good reason, to keep you OUT.

If you worked even 40 hours a week at 12/hr You'd still have enough to have an apartment with a roommate/cohabitant and a normal life

>no college degree
>working as temp to hire at $12/hour +-40hour weeks
Pay for:
Apartment
Food
Gasoline
Phone
Internet
Electricity/Water
I'm solid in the black and have been investing excess $$$ into cryptocurrency. All I as gen Y did was pay attention to my older gen X siblings. "Keep it in your pants" and wow it really was that easy

>america is pure capitalist
>america is worse than over 100,000,000 deaths worldwide caused by communism

If you work 70 hours a week and can't afford to live you need to find a different job or admit that dropping out of highschool, having 2 kids out of wedlock, and making 7 bucks an hour flipping patties was your own damn fault for being a failure.

You're forgetting these people LITERALLY cannot survive if they aren't living in San Francisco.

Everyone I've met who says this has some sort of unannounced or unadmitted expense or spending issue/financing something they clearly can't afford that has massively depreciated.

I'm literally a NEET on welfare who banks most of it every month because I live well within my means.

It's like fat people who 'don't even eat that much WTF STOP SHAMING ME'

>Graduate with meme Arts degree
>Can only get shitty jobs, which were available to me before arts degree
>Go back to school for engineering job, even though I never did well in math
>Sacrifice all social life, study every day, work out at school gym, pre-pack all meals for 5 days so I can make it to each weekend
>Work part time while in school to avoid debts
>Graduate with engineering degree
>Women who I tutored in classes with lower GPAs get jobs. Others with family connections get jobs
>Feeling hopeless
>Move to Ireland
>Get engineering job
>Go from working 60+ hours a week doing construction work to working 39 hours but still make more money.
>Finally get paid vacation, sick days, OJT, and an offer to have a masters paid for

I don't feel bad for people like the one in OP's pic because they will never be willing to make any type of sacrifice to get themselves ahead. The last four months before I moved to Ireland I slept on an air mattress in a leaking unfinished basement to save money to move here. That is what men do. We sacrifice in the short term to gain in the long term. They will never do that as they would rather work the 70 hours, try to get handouts, and they enjoy having the victim card.

get sick one time

i had a heart condition and now am saddled with $60,000 medical debt.

I know a lot of people like this.
Funny thing is as hard as they claim to be struggling they still smoke 2 packs a day at $12/per and go out to the bar every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and drop like $50 each day.
Never fucking occurs to them that the problem may be their own behavior. It's always somebody elses fault.

USA!

USA!

USA!

>German
>calling others cucked

fpwp

Or that you're an easily replaceable cuck with a shitty degree

50 years ago you would have died, what is your point.

But how are you supposed to get Starbucks lattes every day under this crapitalist tyranny!?!?!?

THE REVOLUTION WILL GIVE US THE AFFORDABLE SUGARY STIMULANT LIQUIDS WE DESERVE

>forced to work
>70 hours
Shit. I'm glad I get to bill 18 hours a day.
>mud man
>oil field
>1K a day
>easy work
>2 weeks on
>2 weeks off
I only work half a year and still make more than most people.

Here's a tip:
>find a job that's high in demand but low in supply.
>profit

Getting a lib arts degree prepares you for jackshit.
There's roughnecks out here getting $25/hr with a GED only.
Quick being afraid to get your hands dirty and become a man, doing a man's job.
Most jobs in the city are for bitches.

Ding ding ding! So many people today turn their nose up at managing money properly. I've even been made fun of for not spending too much money.

I mean in that case better red than dead, right?

It is easy to spot the guy who has never had a professional job.

I work 40 hours a week at $16 an hour and I'm fine. Move out of the city and get a factory job if you're poor.

Shit, I work 40 a week and can pay for a house, car, luxuries, drink, smoke... If you have to work 70 hours to live, lower your living standards or find a better career path.

As an individual who identifies as a narrow body of water between two land masses, I feel that you have mischaracterized my people in a very offensive manner. Check your terrene privilege. You don't know what it's like to be marinekin.

You guys are missing the obvious, which is that none of these people work 70 hours a week. Id be surprised if they even worked full time. This is Reddit virtue signaling that's it. Its only a matter of time before one claims to be working 150 hours per week.

>implying the people who "work" 70 hours a week actually real jobs. Oil Field work is real work. These faggots working so much work in some bullshit small book stores that pay them in vegan crackers, or other meaningless small time jobs.

>professional job
Plumbers make good bread, probably better.
I know five plumbers that are millionaires. They only have high school diplomas.

Quit trying to be a faggot and wearing a suit to work. Grow a sack and wear overalls and get your hands dirty.
Men aren't supposed to be working behind a desk. That's for fags.
Use those muscles once in your life and break a sweat.

I work 36 a week, have my own place and bills on autopay

sucks to suck I guess

>I'm being forced to work part time WAAAAH!
>why can't I live comfortably on my part time wages REEEEEE!
Grow up kid.

Kek. I literally only work 6 months a year trucking and growing/selling cannabis, for a total of about $70k a year. I don't get kids these days.

Ain't that the truth. I have to work 5-7 hours for free weekly at Walmart on top of my 40 hours.

Este cabron si sabe. Ala verga ñero.

The problem is you (And everyone else in similar positions) accept these shit wage slave jobs. If yall would stop accepting crap work, employers would be forced to pay decent wages. Currently theres no incentive for employers to do so.

>It's almost like importing millions of low skill immigrants who will work for beans suppresses everyone's wages
The fact that there are people who SOMEHOW haven't made this connection makes my blood fucking boil

Criminally under fucking rated
/Thread

I'm implying that 70 hours a week is nothing.
I work 126 hours a week, all of it billable.
My job is little more than handing a sheet of paper with the amount of chemicals to mix to the derrickhand and taking temperature and viscosity of the mud once a day; that's it. I sit and watch TV 12 hours a day and nap during the other 4 hours.

People should work as long as the sun is out and for as long as they are awake.
Rest is for old people. Work keeps you young.

I probably work an average of 42 hours a week and bake $80k, never went to college. It works okay if you aren't an idiot.

>Muh be a man meme.
>You're not am an unless you work with your hands.

You sound exactly like every sad sack shithead old man I worked with while in the construction industry. I've already been there and done that. I'd much rather work my 40 hours per week in my design office, having pipefitters and mechanical contractors assemble what I've designed (which is quite literally the easiest part of any project). I still workout, I still work on my car in my spare time, but I don't have to worry about crawling through human waste to do it.

I also get to negotiate my salary and benefits every year, which has resulted in an annual increase of 10% at the lowest. I have respect for what pipefitters and other tradesmen do as I have met some who were great people, and could have gone down any career they wanted, but don't act like there is something noble about it.

So if this person made $10/hr they would get $880 a week before taxes.

So like $3k a month-ish if they are making pretty much bare minimum allowed by law.

You're a fucking faggot.

You're a slave to a desk. I'd rather work outside as God intended.

>unskilled labor is worth less and the value it creates doesn't cover the cost of facilitating it.

This is why minimum wage will cause problems.
Eventually the worth of the labor will be less than zero. Having the position filled by free labor will be an expense and liability. Once we hit the threshold where free unskilled labor is cost-ineffective, minimum wage won't save those positions from poverty, and they will all vanish at once, instead of over generations.

Minimum wage increased complacency, and removed economic incentive to get out of unskilled positions.

Unbridled capitalism is only a lesser evil to communism. The best economic system lost the world war unfortunately

>He lets his job define him.

I actually work in a comfy office, surrounded by my friends. If I need my toilet fixed when it is backed up with my shit, I'll call you or one of your plumber friends.

>people complaining about money posting from a smartphone
hmmmmmm

Nah, just work a good job

>cable tv subscription

Wtf why can't I make ends meet? Fuck capitalism, fuck donald drumpf, and especially FUCK WHITE PEOPLE!!!

I survive doing 20 hours a week of freelance web development

When the weakest members of the species die off the whole of the species is better off for it

He is right tho and he is half a commie.

the only true solution is nazbol
stop getting classcucked by the (((capitalists)))

you first.

I'm a web designer and I charge UP THE ASS for shit web sight coloring
>mfw I'm a millionaire thanks to suckers who don't know how 2 color

I'm 19 and live between the burbs and the city, typing numbers into a computer 40 hours a week for 14/hr, still make enough to live with a roommate with no other financial assistance. Everyone I know just spends money on stupid shit, I don't get it

39 hours a week and 13th salary with 100% job security. Being employed by the state feels good man

For the other hundreds of thousands of years of human history you'd spend every waking hour hunting and farming and probably still starve to death. Stop being a little bitch

>If I need my toilet fixed when it is backed up with my shit, I'll call you or one of your plumber friends.

And you'll pay them a couple hundred an hour for them to do essy ss fuck work while they take 5 smoke broke and laugh at what a sucker you are because you don't know how to do anything yourself.

This whole thing right here.

you and your family can come over the wall

...

>work 70 hours a week
>still can't afford to live
bull-fucking-shit, i work in a field that doesn't earn loads, i work about 36-45 hours per week and earn more than enough to live in london one of the most expensive cities in the world

People like you are welcome in the USA. Thanks man.

you work 1 hour a day and say everyone should work 70 hours a week

>Capitalism: you earn money if you are able to do something that someone will give you money for.

All these good goys munching their bluepills

Bamp

>Hurrr good goys munching their bluepills

He makes good points faggot. And with that money you earn you can start your own business. Don't be a faggot and do something with your life.

>Europe
>Capitalist

No sir I believe they are socialist.

>Of you have to work 70 hours a week and you still can't make it then you're in the wrong job

Some people are stupid as fuck and aren't capable of getting a better job.

Stop shilling free enterprise as (((capitalism))) and go back to redddit

Here the lowest paid jobs are $8 an hour. That's 560 a week, 2240 every 4 weeks or 29120 a year if working 70 hours a week.

Rooms to let are 400, the cheapest apartments are 600
How can you earn 30k a year and not afford to live?
Having been on minimum wage and working 36-40 hours a week I would say that it's doable but you have to be frugal, you have to rent in a 500ish a month low income apartment complex if you want to live with yourself with no roomates. But you can do it. Not many places even pay $8 an hour since they have pay raises every 6 months or a year that brings it up 75 cents... If you are stuck in a minimum wage job for years you'll eventually earn $10-11 an hour.

>leave near a city
>too expensive to stay
>too poor to move

I work 40 hours a week and I want for nothing and save a fair bit of money each month.

Or you're retarded and drive a car you can't afford, to an apartment you can't afford, while calling your girlfriend you can't afford, on your phone you can't afford, to ask her if she wants to watch the new season of X on one of those 15 streaming services you can't afford.

They probably live in la or nyc where housing is 4x what it should be, and then spending the rest on 10 dollar coffees every morning. And I guarantee they all have cars, computers, cellphones and high speed internet.

All of you faggots spend too much money.
