I am a fucking insurance professional- educated and licensed -and I still can’t make ends meet and pay off my student loans.
Tax the rich and enhance social programs. It’s not about the job, it’s about luck and generational wealth hoarding.
Another pawn in the culture war
She’s 81.
That’s insane. She’s insane, too. But I would have said mid 60s.
Plastic surgery will do that. But plastic surgery can’t fix your organs. She’ll still be dead within 10 years.
Money’ll do that to you.
81 years of never shutting the fuck up, she must be exhausted.
Somone sould do it for her if she won’t
You first.
Every now and then, there’s an article about some dumb shit a person on The View says. My reaction is always surprise that The View is still even a thing.
It’s a fossilized turd. My guess is, there’s so much fierce competition for eyeballs these days, if the advertisers think 200 people are actually watching it, they get pretty excited.
Waiting rooms
coprolite
There’s a lot of people in comas that are in those 200 people and mostly because it comes on after Price is Right.
“Get out now, Barbara! This show will sink you like a stone!” - SNL
I don’t really understand who their target audience is. They would’ve been conservative 20 years ago, but today I think they just cater to saying whatever middleclass boomers want to hear.
Yeah, it’s the show that tells bitchy old women that they are always right about everything.
A combination of that and knowing that comments like that will get articles like this, garnering them more attention and views. Ragebait may have become a recent Big Problem in the algorithms of social media, but it’s been around forever. Howard Stern and Jerry Springer built their fortunes on it.
Fuck the view lol. Everyone that gets a job on that show turns into a jackass, braying their bullshit at top volume. It’s the worst side of television.
With all due respect, there was Candace Cameron Bure…
Pretty sure that’s the appeal. It’s a ragebait-circlejerk.
Shut up and get in your grave.
Time to get in the forever box!
What a fucking piece of shit.
Many people would be surprised how many homeless people have (hard science) degrees or used to be very succesful. Bad luck, medical debt, (mental-)health issues, company goes bankrupt due to circumstances beyond your control, etc.
The world isn’t fair. You can work really hard, and end up in the oven of a concentration camp, despite what the slogan above the gate said.
Of course, if you’re a relatively talentless hack who’s won the equivalent of the lottery despite not really deserving it that much, it’s nicer to think that you deserve it because of your inate talent. Vanity. It’s the Devil’s favourite sin.
Medical debt is so underappreciated and it is no joke. It can add up very, very high and very, very quickly.
Also without any warning or planning – could be cancer, could be a freak accident. You never know if/when a medical emergency might happen, so you’re always in an odd state of financial limbo even though it may not appear that way. You could be doing just fine squirreling away a few hundred or thousand here and there and one trip to the ER will quickly take back most of that nest egg. Even with insurance, it’s absurd how much you can still be on the hook for. What’s the alternative though, forgo medical treatment?
I have a CS degree and spent a couple months in my backseat.
Bow chica bow wow…oh, you meant something else… /s
Master’s degree in microbiology with a serious disability here. If not for my wife, I’d have been on the streets since it took 23 doctors to get a diagnosis. This lady can get fucked.
I know a couple homeless men who were programmers and burned out, got depressed and gave up
That checks out.
The world isn’t fair. You can work really hard, and end up in the oven of a concentration camp, despite what the slogan above the gate said.
oof.
Not all of us can get a job as a loudmouth caricature from 4chan.
“Wealthy asshole has no empathy.” I’m shocked. Fuck her. Fuck talking heads in general.
Let them eat cake!
We have a beautiful saying in my country: Dumb head is a burden for the body.
The french understand this, too, deciding to relieve poor old Marie of that burden.
We should all be more like french people. Wine, cheese and good medical care system.
I have four. Is four enough jobs for you, Joy?
As an almost 50 year old gen x who is on disability I will never bad mouth the younger generations for having a hard time financially. I am right there with you. I’ll never own my own home, the only reason I can afford my rent is because I’ve been in the same apartment for 10 years. I’m paying less for a 2 bedroom apartment than it costs to rent a single room these days. I’m going to have to live here until I die because I’ll never be able to afford to move.
Groceries have skyrocketed just since covid and they weren’t cheap to begin with either. Even before covid I was paying more for a week’s worth of groceries than I was for a months worth of groceries in the 90s.
Times aren’t just tough, they’re fucking impossible.
Huh, I thought that cackling hen died already.
That was Barbara Walters.
