1.) You have a misconception of how DEI works. It’s for qualified minorities (e.g., women, POC). Fun fact: white women have benefited from DEI the most. 2.) “Regular people”? You mean white people?😂 Men? White men? Right right. And the rest of us are just non-regulars. Typical language use making you guys the center of the universe while we’re labeled as “others”. Ofc DEI feels like reverse oppression when you’re so used to the system historically benefiting just you and excluding everyone else.
I actually did. I worked 20-30 hours a week waiting tables. I met my two best friends working retail and we all decided to get jobs as waiters so we could do college. One is a nurse, one is an engineer, and I have an equally good job. If you work through college, you’ll also be infinitely more respected by employers (by a lot). You can still make it in this world even if everything isn’t handed to you on a silver platter.
People have said things like this for the last decade. Everyone I went to university with that wasn’t working said almost exactly the same thing. Meanwhile, anyone competent could have walked in the door at any table waiting job I’ve ever had and gotten hired instantly. You’re only a victim if you choose to be one.
Also, are you aware that you can easily come home with 100+ dollars in tips a night for just 4ish hours of work waiting tables? It’s hard work, but anyone competent can get a job doing it and it’s perfect if you’re going to university. You can make all the excuses you want, but this is the reality.
Yeah. Trump and all the Project 20/20 people realized that black women are the most educated population by percentage and couldn’t have that. That’s why his racist department of education declassified nurses as professionals. Too many black women getting nursing degrees and getting out of poverty. Racist.
4 years ago. Again, for my entire time in university, everyone said the exact same things you guys are saying. There are plenty of places you can go that won’t have you apply online (mom and pop type diners, for example). Even then, open with asking to speak to a manager in other places. Don’t even waste your time with anything that isn’t a waiter/server job; it’s the only way to make this much money working part time with flexible hours where you can trade any shift away easily.
It worked for me. It worked for all my close friends. Did we have to use student aid and very minimal loans? Yes. Was it impossible to survive? No. All of us were also able to do all the things we wanted, like live away from home, go to concerts, everything we wanted. You can be a perpetual victim if you want, but the only people who are going to empathize with you are other perpetual victims.
There’s nothing unsafe about disclosing information if you’re here legally and I don’t know a single minority who has had their life made more difficult. Even if your claim was true, which it’s not, ICE making the lives of minority is harder has nothing to do with other people getting jobs. That’s a red herring.
It’s not a red herring. If ice is using their leverage to force businesses to disclose info on their employees, which is happening, then why tf would anyone disclose info and try to get hired if they could be targeted. Also, your first statement is entirely false when ICE has been kidnapping legal citizens, or citizens in the process of becoming legal, for years.
Get out of your basement and stop using social media for your news. Force businesses to disclose info? 😂 You mean enforcing the law? LOL How many? There’s no such thing as a citizen in the process of becoming legal idiot. You should probably get a better understanding of what the term of kidnapping means before you make stupid claims.
“Citizen in the process of becoming legal” is like calling yourself “Dr.” while in the process of getting your PhD. You become a citizen when you become legal. Until that point you’re not a citizen and can be deported if you overstay visa conditions or your application is denied. Not understanding the law is a choice (the law that Democrats wrote, btw… look up who signed the INA and the IIRIRA 🙄)
One job. I don’t know what to tell you people; you will make any excuse you can not to work hard. I did it. My friends did it. My brother is doing it now. There are jobs waiting tables and you guys are just too lazy and entitled to get off your ass and work. You’d rather complain of Yik yak.
You’re not in the twilight zone man, I hear you. These people can’t fathom that things are so demonstrably bad both financially and in the job market for us that they’re convinced that any kind of hardship that we face is ENTIRELY self-inflicted. They don’t understand that none of this shit exists in a vacuum and is incredibly influenced by hundreds of ever-changing factors in a system that’s rigged against us. Keep pushing man, I know it’s shitty
Seriously - they don’t get that the climate of this economy is literally proven to be worse for the working class than the Great Depression. But they’ve been so convinced by US propaganda that any kind of issues we face must have smth to do with our budgeting, and DEFINITELY not the fact that the government keeps wasting our taxes on international wars/funding genocide/giving billionaires tax breaks/kidnapping civilians instead of actually supporting their constituents. You’re not in the wrong!
I hate to break it to u but capitalism actually exists outside of the US and does in fact affect other non-capitalist countries. Look at Chile, Cuba, Venezuela, literally any somewhat left-leaning country. Ffs look at the Vietnam war. Also, you’re just proving my point. Capitalism fucking blows and we’re forced to serve it to survive.
& “capitalism fucking blows” is a bit rich coming from somebody enjoying the highest standard of living enjoyed in any society ever, through 65000 years of human history. It was capitalism that made widely available and cheap food, shelter, and healthcare even possible, let alone the phone ur typing on. Just saying.
