    The moment anyone opens their mouth about a problem or issue they automatically become "whiny little bitches" with no chance of getting a constructive response.

    The solution there should be obvious; do something other than whine when you open your mouth.

    Not everybody is in a position where they can magically "create their own job". That takes resources, contacts, luck, and being in just the right place at the right time. Those that manage to do that are quire privileged.

    Working your ass off and taking huge risks so that you're not stuck being a wage slave is privilege now? There is no luck in business except bad unless you're a moron. You look ahead, see that you're going to need $blah, and create a future where $blah == true. Now if you're an utter fool like you, you don't bother with all that, wonder why the world isn't handing you sacks of free money, go bankrupt, and blame "luck", yes.

    In case you hadn't noticed, society expects every able bodied adult to have a job. So of course there is a little feeling of entitlement there. You seem to expect everyone who can't get a job to just kill themselves.

    You have the logic backwards there. The expectation of you to work is an expectation of earning your own way in life. The expectation of someone handing you anything you don't deserve is antithetical to that.

    Good luck to you when YOUR current gig is up. We'll be sure to keep our fingers in our ears so we can't hear YOU whining as you starve to death.

    Luck has nothing to do with it. I'll have more work lined up before I get done with what I'm currently working on because I will do everything I have to to make certain that situation comes to be true.

    Ya know, normal people do the work of three people at their job and don't have time to look for other work until it is too late.

    One lucky mother fucker indeed.

      You realize that's self-contradictory, yes? It's also false even in sentiment. Normal people work eight hours a day, sleep eight hours a day, and have eight left over to find time for job hunting. That's not even considering the two days off they get each week. Yes, situations do vary but that is normal.

      The job situation is not that bad in all countries. Sure, there are those that are worse than the US (Spain, Greece), but others that are quite a bit better. You can also get other benefits: better food, more affordable health care, less violent crime, a police force you don't need to fear etc. On top of that you may get better working conditions, better annual leave and better wages.

      Perhaps (counterpoint to this poll) it's time to look at leaving the US and moving to another country?
