This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Wait, you guys don't have that? US I assume? Damn, does your government do anything?

There are plenty of programs to help you get a job. Though, if you are 38, living with your parents, and never got off your ass to support yourself, the problem is you. A program that helps you get a job can't do shit for you if you are this unmotivated.

They kill poor white people too on occasion so it balances out.

The conversion ratio is terrible. They need to start killing more white people for the good of the economy.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago

Oh, come on. It kills far more than just brown people.

I don't think the federal government has a program like this, but I went through unemployment after getting laid off last year in Massachusetts and they had resources to help you find careers and training/qualifications and whatnot. Some of the dumbest, lowest empathy people you encounter bitch about Communist Taxachusetts non stop but we have it pretty good here compared to some other places in the Union.

The tax revenue per capita in Massachusetts is about $9000. (source)

I measure it this way because it gets around the comparison problem of some places having no income tax, but high sales tax toake up for it.

Anyway, we should happily pay $4000 per year difference to not live in Oklahoma.

The only thing our government actually does that's uncontroversial is running a bunch of parks, and even those are understaffed

Governments are for Communists.
