Today my employment specialist dragged me to another worthless job fair hosted by none other than Goodwill. Why was it worthless? Well, let me tell you who was there. Hotel and restaurant chains, Lowe's, Home Depot, and fucking 7-Eleven. They also had Regions Bank, Primerica, and a few shit wage staffing companies who hire temp workers for pennies on the dollar. Oh, and the VA was looking for disabled vets only. Makes sense, I guess.
This is why I no longer give a god damn about finding a job. This is all we have to look forward to now, although it's always been this way for disabled people...especially in the criminally insane state of Florida. I always hear folks talk about how they want better for the disabled, but until I see otherwise, it's all just lip service.
Before anyone asks, yes, I was dressed as though I was going to be interviewed. I had several resumes. The suit and tie. Neatly shaven. Nice and polite to everyone I met there. All that crap. And it got me nowhere. Why? Because that isn't what 'Murica wants, it seems.
Nope. The people of this country decided long ago that my fucking generation didn't deserve any shot at a decent living. Fuck that. 'Murica's dumbass voters decided they'd rather be worked to death while praying to the Libertarian Free Market for a financial miracle instead. After all, we're all just temporarily embarrassed billionaires just waiting for the day we can all just take our place among the Davos Terrorists and tell the peons they can live with less.
If this is what we have to look forward to, I can't even imagine how much worse it'll be for our kids and grandkids.
See you around,
Homer
