Mister Neon

I’m absolutely not ok.

I’m an American. China might not be bad, but they ain’t going to be good to me. America isn’t good to me either.

This is the last thing I needed to read today. I’m holding on by a thread.

There it is. It’s so easy to do nothing. You’re very much like “us”.

Get someone over here to give me a full time job. Or sponsor me to move wherever you are. Have a job ready for me when I get there. I got PMP, PMI-ACP, and PSM I certifications along with AWS certifications. I need either a source of income that can support me without firing me for protesting or a way out after I do whatever you want done.

I can lose my life. I can lose my health. I can lose my freedom. All those things could happen with a high chance of failure without anything changing. In fact I could make the situation worse. The failed assassination attempt on Trump boosted his poll numbers and contributed to his victory and his paranoia.

It’s very easy for people like you to tell me to sacrifice, but people like you will never help me.

Make a sacrifice for me first. Do anything to make my life tolerable. Put your money where your mouth is. Then we will discuss what I’m freed up to do to help the world.

My point is that we’re so inundated with terrible news and horrific policy we can’t start to mount an opposition to a specific change before the next horror arises. We had military occupations in our cities which have been forgotten because that was half a dozen scandals ago.

Personally I’ve been in panic mode for a year because I was a government contractor before Trump let Elon Musk lay me off. Due to the economy Trump is directly responsible for the only job I could find pays 1/4 of what I was making with no benefits.

Now there is a war. I’m going hungry.

I think something most of the outside world doesn’t understand about the USA, there are very few “us” unless you’re conservative. It’s a hyper individualistic society in an extremely large geographic area. The idea of collective anything is a foreign concept to me and I’m literally in a work union for the first time in my life for the worst job I’ve ever had. Unless my current Union is ok with the strike I can’t afford to skip work. If I didn’t have a union then the striking would be completely out of the question. I’ve been let go from jobs at the drop of a hat growing up in a “right to work state”. There isn’t a social safety net and my neighbors are completely ok with me becoming homeless. People who get to protest I’ve viewed as being privileged beyond my means. Community here is for the privileged and I’m scraping by to survive.

We don’t think the world sees us as the Avengers anymore. At this point things are so bad here we’ve stopped thinking (which is different than not caring) about how the world thinks of us. For fuck’s sake our president started a war when we weren’t looking. It’s like riding in a bus the size of a football field being driven by a drunk, that’s what living in America is like.

I hate the smacking sound he makes with his mouth. Finish eating.

I’m American and pro NATO so I don’t like it.

How many of us do you think are watching Egyptian television here?

What did you say?

I only use the site when I’m looking for work so it’s not surprising I didn’t notice.

Holy fuck that explains alot. I was wondering why the website was acting so clunky.

I’m having to look for work myself. You have my full sympathy.

Fun fact that’s the exact expression I make when coming up with ideas on how to get a job.

Ok.

I find you disturbing and I have no wish to interact with you further.

Wait you can still see the message? What’s the point of deleting comments then?
