Unemployment and job hunting

In your opinion or perspective, can you explain why most people look down at you, judge, and make you feel bad when you’re unemployed, job hunting, and interviewing?

It's simple really. Our governments flood our countries to exploit cheap foreign labour. Then in the UK they put crap like benefits streels on where a few idiots air their lives out. That makes the working person feel cheated and then u get division in communities. They rely on division of all types. Racial. Religious. Gender even. So we never band together to fight that common enemy. I seen through it all a long time back. I used to be part of it myself looking down on those unemployed. Some chose to but many don't and I see it all for what it really is. Diversion tactics.

@Thingschange4444 I think America is just as screwed up. It’s all about who gets the lottery ticket first when it comes to goals and dreams. The rich are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer. Sad country I live in.

@Cat05 Austerity was designed to suck us dry. The trillions in debt caused by those who Ryle can never be paid. Not ever but they continue to use excuses to cut the deficit by taking more and more from the poor. The middle class status is going to disappear. It.ll be rich or poor in not too many years to come imo

@Thingschange4444 100% agree- right on the spot. Just from how countries go down, I’m disgusted with us, humans destroying other people, animals, and slowly, our environment. Unfortunately, that’s what we do and that is the reality. Politicians are all corrupt and it’s all about money and power, money and power. How much more do you need to get by? It’s like an andrenaline to them.

@Cat05 They want total control of the people. I'm not sure if a digital currency will take over the imminent financial crash. But either way it.ll be the "have nots" who suffer as usual when years upon years of quantitative easing implodes.

Yes, I’m not surprised at all. Look what they’re already doing to nyc. They’re slowly driving out the middle and working class to othe neighborhood of swapping them out to create a billionaire’s playground. It’s really sad and unfortunate that these are people who are in power and control. It’s disgusting. @Thingschange4444

@Cat05 They did and are doing exactly the same in London. It's a crazy scary mad world hey. I get a lump in my throat sometimes when I think of my grand children's potential future.
Cat05 · 36-40, F
Omg... exactly. I feel the same way. I don’t even know if I want to bring a child or two in this world now. @Thingschange4444

@Cat05 I thought that when my 2 latest grandchildren arrived. Unfortunately my 30 yr old daughter and 24 yr old son don't seem as wise as yourself. I'm not dissing them. I love them to bits.

I did have my palm read recently. I have the ring of Solomon that indicates that I have a lot of wisdom. I was a bit shocked, yet not at the same time. Maybe if I do get stronger and ready, it’s a possibility. But as of right now, I don’t think so. Maybe it’s an opportunity to bring unconditional love and support towards your grandchildren regardless of how the world is now a days. Maybe they’ll be able to bring hope in your life as they get older. @Thingschange4444

@Cat05 You seem very wise and that's great. Just remember though that there's is A LOT of scaremongering out there to because fear is control. Ignorance really is bliss and sometimes being aware can be daunting. Although I'm living my life day by day and whatever will be will be way too far out of our control. They use Problem. Reaction. Solution tactics to to keep the system perpetuating. Cause a problem. Create a reaction. Then come up with a solution to a problem they created in the first place lol. Smh.

@Thingschange4444 Thank you. I believe you are as well and seem like an old soul at heart. I feel it’s usually a gift, but sometimes it doesn’t work in other situations. For example, I get a bit impatient and agitated when someone is not able to comprehend on what I am trying to explain. I can understand and sense what others are feeling and I pick up their energy and body language as well. Those that are not intuitive like I am can’t relate or understand it. It can get frustrating. Being aware like you said can definitely be daunting as you and I know the feeling. Yes, exactly. It’s a continuous cycle that will never stop. Although, it’s an unfortunate clever system that the people in power have created.

@Cat05 Very very smart person. I bow to your wisdom. And hey I've been told I'm a old soul ☺ And yes I have to sit around people and listen to their mainstream views whilst inside my head I'm just sighing and thinking omg. You are in for such a shock.
Cat05 · 36-40, F
@Thingschange4444 Thank you and you are as well. :) ohhhh, I feel you’re an old soul from afar. I just feel it. People will always try and find ways to change the system, but it will never work because the government will never listen to the citizens of a country. They will only do what they want and choose to do what they want under their own selfish beliefs. It’s rarely about the people and sadly enough, it’s very rare to have a political leader who have actual sincere compassion for the people besides historic figures like Abraham Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton. They’re just wasting their own time of debating their mainstream views and not realizing that it will never change. It’s only going to get worse unless one day miraculously, there will be someone incredibly sincere, compassionate, and super-heroic.

@Cat05 It would be amazing to see someone sincere leading but it seems leaders are selected rather than elected. You have learned a lot in ur young life. I was gone 40 before I began to see the light. I was living that blissful ignorant life.
