#Socialmedia - Hey why do you need interpersonal skills to gain attention of real people in rel life, look its cheaper here
#llm #chatgpt - Hey why do you need even the skill to ask questions from them , see its easier here, your life and hence time is meaningless anyway
#crypto - Hey why do you care about any real job or skills or even real money, look you re sad and in trouble. Come here, just keep giving us shoutouts without even thinking what it can possibly mean or cause
quote #NextBigThing unquote hey why do you need any experience to begin with , settle in this egg , if you want to see your generation to live.
A #billion f***ng people didn't have spare money for household expenditure.
Most of these re #middleclass who re risk averse by culture , besides basic humanity , whatever that many mean
[Sic]. #government report
But these people wont speak about it within themselves. Why ,?because it's a taboo to admit that despite doing anything better or worse, we re in same boat. Nothing changed it . not even #covid , they ll just shut up , shut other up , suffer and only get the audience for their #escapism and ignore the reality , but they won't get the spine just f****ng come out mutually and admit the fucking reality

Republicans talking up the strength of the #consumer to prevent panic selling #recession.
I don't like #Republicans label of "consumer" on the American customer. It's a way for corporate to devalue the #middleclass.

They don't even realize a "strong customer" would be due to the #Biden economy.

Then they blame Biden for the drop in market value.

Watching #Republicans twist themselves into pretzels and eat their own "economic analysis" is comical.

Recently read this text from Solidarity Apothecary about burnout in organizing and the class perspectives therein - focusing on organizing with middle class.

It was an eyeopener for me, and now im curious about learning more about hidden privileges, feelings of natural entitlement.

Does anyone have short, practical resources about organizing and the class perspectives?
And how to open up for transformative praxis?

"Costco CFO sounds alarm on consumer trend
Retailers could be in for a rough 2025.
70% of consumers say inflation has hurt their household finances.

And compounding matters is that #interestrates remain stubbornly high due to sticky #inflation. In January the Federal Reserve hit pause on interest rate cuts. And it’s likely to hold rates steady when it meets in mid-March"

🤖 another #middleClass vanishing

"The stable middle ground of tech employment - the middle-class engineer - is disappearing. Builders who can code now ship entire products in days using AI. A single developer can now accomplish what once required an entire team. Companies are focusing on engineers who can demonstrate they can do the job of multiple engineers. The biggest losers in this shift may be the fresh graduates looking to enter the industry - recent graduates now have to be better than people already working."

We can't know the future & so many are struggling in this world

Those who help most struggle most

Those who help least struggle least

The #middleclass produces despots by giving of themselves more to support #capitalism & #fascism, than ever to help those in #poverty

There's this state of #apathy & #complacency, built on fear, that keeps lined the pockets of those at upper echelons of #society

Like keeping those in power appeased, that they too aren't left with nothing
