I've been in the 1/3 my whole 36 years I've been alive. To me the economy has failed.
You can say that the economy failed for you. Not that, to you, the whole economy is a failure. That makes no sense.
Ah, I see. You are poor, therefore everyone is poor. Makes sense.
What is it with you people coming here and making the most absurd statements? Seriously fuck off back to Reddit along with your strawmen. You want to know why I'm poor? Graduated high school and studied to be an electrician,then the 2008 housing bubble collapsed so I went back to school to learn IT but nobody wanted a fresh out of high school no experience 20 something year old in an oversaturated market so all I got were shit, low paying jobs for 10 years. Now that I've been trying to learn programming to get out of my current dead end job for the last 18 months and the tech sector is firing off employees left and right. The economy failed. Pull your head out if your ass or stop being a corporatr shill trying to astroturf real problems away.
