Greetings good citizen, increasingly one of the other 'symptoms' of the population explosion/automation frenzy is the 'gig' economy...where we all become independent contractors paid for performance. [Your 'idle time' is yours and yours alone.] Worse, once they're through 'quibbling' about what they will and won't pay for, you, unsurprisingly, still wind up with the short end of the stick. [but I preach to the chior, you know the drill.]
That said I landed a new 'job' today...2 months temp and then we'll see sort of deal. For reasons unexplained, permanence has become a 'bad thing'...probably something to do with that 'people are expensive' meme that won't go away. I still have some years left before I can draw my SSI, which is likely to be 'rock bottom' thanks to spending much of the past decade severely 'under-employed'. [So, what's your favorite brand of pet food?]
These are supposed to be your socking it away years...you (if you did everything 'right') should be at the top of your game and earnings.
Had you not been 'churned' every six months for the past twenty years, you would have. Nothing personal, just that nobody wanted you to rack up too many pension dollars. Those go to the hedgies, pulling down mad returns while playing 'three card monte' with their too stupid to know better investors.
Yet another gig where you make a misstep and you're toast. Oddly, these guys keep finding ways to get back in the game...I guess the ultimate lesson here isn't 'once bitten, twice shy'. It's 'next time make sure you hammer them BEFORE they hammer you!'
Ironically, most players get hammered a few times before they get it right and retire to the Carribean, sailing [literally] into the sunset.
Which leaves us back at the criminal's credo, 'easier to take it than to make it.'
Cynical to the end, the wealthy among us have made their beds on the Blood, Sweat and Tears of the working...somehow the word working doesn't go with 'class'. Working 'stiff' seems more appropriate because that's what they get, stiffed.
'Be a thinker, not a stinker' the well-off posers advise...and what they're really telling you is the criminal's credo...learn how to take it so you don't have to make.
Better to ride a saddle than wear one...[pick your own euphemism.]
This also leads to the situation we have currently, laboring hand to mouth while those robbing the system resist making the change to a new system that they may not be able to 'milk'.
They know the current system doesn't work, in fact, the old system is overloaded with 'freeloaders' {but they don't know/fear losing the Devil they know...} So it's up to we 'stinkers, the ones who actually make stuff happen and produce the world as you know it to make the shift and shake these freeloading parasites off of us.
Who would that be?
Let's see...one percent of the population but controls 90% of the wealth..need to look harder?
Well, that completes another session...you have light and now some of your vision should be coming back, we're really moving along here!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
