Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

It used to be a shoe salesman could afford a house and kids. Now you need to be a tech worker with a partner who is a tech worker to be 'safe.' Tomorrow you'll need to be a highly successful small business owner with a staff of 20+ that you pay peanuts. Eventually, only a small ring of folks will have enough money to not be slaves.
It's cause college is an investment, right? Like it's too expensive to take classes for a hobby or because you just want to
I believe it's a mixture of genetic disposition and environmental factors. surely the capitalistic mindset contributed a lot but even without that, some people are greedy.
