Why the fuck aren't we raging in the street yet?

For feds, more get 6-figure salaries - USATODAY.com

this shouldn't be possible. we let them have too much control!!! FUCKKK THISSS SHIIITTT!!

There's too many professions out there that are WAY more important to society that get 25% of these salaries.

I mean EVERYONE is on the internet these days, there's got to be a way to reach everyone out there to get us fucking back some control over the direction of our kids futures... FUCK this.

it's just like our education systems.

if they receive more money from the gov, all it means is the schools will be expanded or get new technology that they don't need and the teachers will get paid more for doing the same thing.

seriously, we are fucked.

/facepalm

cause there's engineering and nurses and physicists that deserve to be paid a lot more, considering they could actually drastically change the future...

lol i know you're just being sarcastic to make us angry.. and yeah you're effective at that.



Why aren't we raging in the streets? Because our system is very effective at making us docile in spirit and huge in ego, lots to say, balls to do nothing.

rage against the street will only provide your neighbors with lulz. it will not, however, directly lessen income.

but as for most of these cushy paper pushers raping us yet again what a joke. its no coincidence this happened under barney frank and chris "fix my house and ill fix your problem" dodd.

There are effective ways to rage, but they require planning and coordination.

The problem is turm, people are more afraid of being outcast so they'd rather be apathetic. Sadly this is more of a problem with frequent Cannabis smokers.

I've gotten trashed on in this forum for protesting for peace. Maybe when the draft get's reinstated more people will actually protest. But until then "nothing effects them".

I protest, I sign petitions, I have sent letters to legislators, I talk about what I think is going on and how I think we can solve it.

What are you doing?

Yeah pretty much the same, flexing the ol protest muscle in the correct and legal fashion, following the rules designed by a system that is designed to appear democratic - following rules that are designed to never supercede or actually change the system.


in essence, very little.

effective movements usually have
- a 'poster-child'/martyr to garner media coverage
- celebrity endorsements (for same purpose, exposure)
- money; a lot of it
- organizations
- political representation
- dedicated civilians

and even all that doesn't even guarantee success

i read the fact of the matter is that 99% of these jobs that got higher wages were all in the public sector. which does not create jobs, at all.

and i should point out that you used the semicolon incorrectly. I only do this because I recently learned the correct way to use them.

...money.




break shit, fuck it up, bring it down, burn the money. capitalism sucks, its what holding us back, even though its what gives us our "first class" standard of living we are so used to. but take it with a grain of salt cause i feed into it. as long as every one does their best to make the earth a better planet and the human race a better species, we will flourish... but the way things are going, i think we are more of a cancer.

either way in the "grand scheme" of things, it really doesn't fucking matter how much some brown nosing, tie wearing mother fuckers make.
