better than paying rent and u can stay at the beach over night for free. they dont enforce it.

rents $2000 for 1 br.

Look man, I get your complaints, but instead of working the system you're choosing to be a victim of it.

Get a good job, and invest your money in low cost index funds. You're already living with your parents. You could work 10 years and then retire, especially with your hippie low class lifestyle.

Do some research on the FIRE community (financial independence/retire early). Frugal Woods, Mr money mustache, millennial revolution, and ChooseFI podcast are good places to start.

Oh boy you got it all figured out.

Screw the stock market, invest in recreational vehicles!

Invest in cocaine.

ppl dont choose to b victims but most ppl are whether they know it or not

i couldve been rich if i invested in property but i lost that gamble and on top of that didnt keep that job. i do want to spend travelling, not on inflated housing costs.

ill check out those podcasts thanks. i added them all on twitter

im going to a city camper convention tmrw, and my mission is to finish school and get a job somewhere warm and keep donating to worthwhile political orgs. because at least when the titanic of civilization sinks, ill b in a warm socialist southern france. in the short, short term i hope to weather the economic storm at my current job.

If only they’d played the game they hated...

Kid, it’s literally free money.

Obviously you don’t know the market, which is why I suggested Vanguard...

I suppose one could make an argument that they don’t want to participate in a bogus system.

Sure.

Get back to me when you’re gonna die with the cancer and you can’t start your RV.

Principles start to fall away when your health fails, or you have a kid, or when you realize that boycotting the system really doesn’t serve you, nor does it hurt the system.

im def not having a kid. and it doesnt look like anything is wrong with me health wise. i dont know what u mean by boycotting the system. but i look at what i consider to b excessive donations, and then little things like bumper stickers and joining protests to be part of living a balanced life which i feel 99% of ppl dont do. not to do the donations part is like betraying the most important things ive learned.

anyways i feel like in one sense ive avoided 1 of the biggest financial mistakes i cud have made which is sticking around in this overpriced city.

Staring your own co op. Paying yourself depressed wages and benefits.

An aquantance of mine started a trucking outfit back in 1987, I believe. They retrofit commercial trucks. It’s a high margin, non regulated industry. And they often compete against union shops.

In fact, unions are the main reason for their success. They have the flexibility to undercut wage costs and work longer hours. He is 68 or 69 now and unable to cash out. Litigation is beginning to take a toll on the business and health (stress) of the people.

yea thats what called a race to the bottom. i dont support that kind of economics.

now if it was worker coops which are more successful than the capitalists bc they save on paying shareholders and CEO bonuses then i am in favor of that.

It is a worker co op. 11-15 people all on the board. All have their jobs, all make major decisions.

A #LaborDay Message: There will be lots of talk about unions and the fight for higher wages today.

We at BSA aren’t fighting for more middlemen. We at BSA aren’t fighting for higher wages as an end.

We at BSA are fighting for democratic ownership and control of the workplace.

at the minimum!

To really honor #LaborDay , pay workers more and tax them less. After all, that’s what capitalists have achieved for themselves: ever more profits and ever lower taxes. Gives you a hint about who controls this system. #HowCapitalismWorks #CureForCapitalism
