  • 63% of workers unable to pay a $500 emergency expense, survey finds. How employers may help change that

  • It’s okay that you’ll lose your house, because there are people without houses.

    Perfect retarded communist point of view. Let’s just make everyone poor, then we can just change the definition of what poor is

  • That’s great, have a look at what those things should cost and then look at how the government is mismanaging their funding that we give them

    Why even bother with wages, just have the corporations pay the government directly for our work. The government can figure out how to distribute everything and fuck us all

  • So what I hear you saying is that families with homes should just lose their homes because funding the government is more important? And they should have thought of that before buying a home?

    Are you a fucking idiot?

    Let’s just make MORE poverty stricken people, the government comes before all! It sounds like you just want everyone to hand over their pay cheques to the government so they can decide who gets what and when they get it, so we can all be totally fucked.

    This Lemmy crowd is filled with morons.

  • Children don’t know anything yet. They haven’t lived enough to know anything yet. Because they’re children.

    Wait until you’re grown up, you’ll understand that we shouldn’t listen to teenagers about how the world should work.

  • You have to understand how expensive it is supporting a family right now. People are spending an insane amount of money on groceries alone. $1,000 - $1,800 a month

    The gas to get to work for a two income household could be upwards of $1,000 a month.

    Mortgage renewal? Hope you have an extra $700 a month laying around.

    Cad payments? Ya that’s going to add another $200-$300 a month in interest payments alone now.

    And forget it if you have kids. Daycare, physical activities, summer camp? Maybe another $12k per year depending on how many kids you have!

    The issue here is that the middle class are also being destroyed and without them there’s no money to even give to the government to help lower income people.

    In Canada, $150k a year for a family of 5 is low income now.

    At least lower income people get subsidized food and housing. Middle class? They get 20% interest on credit cards to keep afloat.

    This isn’t about wages, it’s about costs. All of them of which taxes are just one. A big one, but just one.

    You can attack the corpo’s later, right now the fight is with the government to get the money going out under control.

    You can get a 50% raise, but if you’re still spending 70% more to eat and have a roof over your head, it doesn’t really matter does it?

    If shit was more affordable, maybe $40k a year could be a livable wage again. Cause right now it’s not.

  • I pay 30% of every dollar I make and I also pay another 18% or so every time I spend a dollar directly to the government.

    And the prices of EVERYTHING has Skyrocketed!

    When prices go up, the goods and services taxes you pay also go up. When prices go down, they go down too.

    Interest rates are killing people, prices are killing people, taxes on top of taxes are killing people

  • A lot of people who pay $20-30k+ a year in taxes are also struggling.

    Mortgages have gone up, milk has gone up, eggs are too expensive, a lot of countries (like Canada, where I live) are increasing carbon taxes. Gas is already $1.70 a litre!

    Wages are one thing, but how many people can just swallow a mortgage payment that increase $500-$700 a month?

    I get it, you want to make more money, but something the government can actually do is let you keep more of the money you do actually earn.

  • My first PC build from 2014

    Jump

  • I had a build I made in 2011, same case but the white version.

    Gtx 580 (yes that old, not THAT 580, the old one by nvidia lol)

    These are CAD prices

    Case - NZXT Phantom $200 i7 2600K $400 p8-z68 Deluxe $250 Corsair vengeance 16gb (4x4gb) Corsair gold ax850 Optical drive (blu-ray) SSD HDD Corsair H100 CPU cooler $100 GTX 580 $500 Panasonic TH-50PZ85U (this is the plasma screen tv I originally had it hooked up to)

    That PC is still hooked up in the office, my daughter plays roblox on it. It’s hooked up to a 144hz, 1440p LG ultra gear monitor and that beast is still going strong. A couple case fans don’t work anymore, and I don’t care.

    Built this to play Diablo 3

    The fan controls on the case do still work though!

  • Your pay is only relevant to the cost of goods and services.

    People used to be rich earning $1,000 a year. Your pay is irrelevant, the costs of things is what’s more important.

    And taxes, fucking stop taking everyone’s money

  • I dunno, man. It’s a weird perspective to have when you’re me. I don’t hate trans people, I don’t hate gay people, I don’t hate minorities, I want everyone to be happy and healthy and free.

    I just don’t agree with the lefts way of getting there and I don’t agree that their ‘goodness’ actually is coming from a place of good. I think people get wrapped up on the promises, I think trans rights are just the same as everyone else’s rights.

    I don’t think trans people experience any more actual violence than any of us do. I’m just as likely to get beat up walking down the street as anyone else is.

    I think the media and left wing educators are distracting us from the issues we should be up in arms about and feeding the masses a story to enact.

    And I think lemmy is a huge symptom of that. This is not a diverse place. And any diversity of thought is struck down with the strength of a thousand suns.

    I don’t think anyone deserves anymore rights than anyone else, and if you’re specifically talking about trans, if you wouldn’t give a 10yo girl breast augmentation surgery because she wanted bigger boobs, or a child penis injections because he wanted a bigger dick, why would you invert a 10yo penis to create a neo-vagina?

    That’s not about ‘rights’. Those rights aren’t afford to only trans kids and then you tell an 8yo “no, I’m sorry you can’t get a tattoo on your face”. It’s disingenuous. How do you k ow how badly they want a face tattoo? Why would you deny them their sense of self in that way? Is that not hatecthen?

    My slap down trans argument will always be this: if you’re an adult, do whatever the fuck you want. Put horns in your head, split your tongue, get tattoos, get bigger breasts, inject synthol into your arms, invert your penis. I don’t care.

    But if a child has a perfectly healthy and functioning body, the problem they are having is not with their body, don’t do cosmetic surgery on them.

    I get it, a bunch of quack doctors want to do as many of these surgeries as they can. These idiots would be lining up lobotomy patients too, if they still could.

    Because they are quack doctors. They are idiots, they are scamming your kids by selling surgery to kids parents to treat a problem that isn’t physical.

    And that’s all I have to say about that
