Lastly, they are about to kill the geese laying the golden eggs, i.e. entrepreneurial spirit, capitalism, and individual achievement.
I don't like writing about myself too much online, but 2 years ago I quit my high-paying/soul-sucking job, moved back east, and have been largely "unemployed", with the exception of a few engineering design projects I picked up on the side.
Lost a ton of equity in the market crash, though I was fortunate that I was cash-heavy, so I was able to make the most of it with the minor recovery over the past few months. I live frugally, have no wife and kids to support, and I have a standing agreement at the farm I live on... I cover groceries, most of the food prep, help with household chores, split utilities, and a lot of the caretaking of the property.
Though I hold a engineering degree, and passed the EIT, when I look online at jobs, I am not finding anything appealing to me. I believe that corporate America is saturated with 9 to 5 cubicle dwellers that spend 33% of their time earning for thier employer, 33% updating their Facebook accounts, and 34% of their time hiding from management under their desks. I'll pass.
My other concern, and why I am bothering to post this response (which has more personal information in it than I should have put), is that I really have ZERO interest in returning to the rolls of the traditional wage earners... where I'd merely earn money only to have over 40% of it taken forcefully from me to support the motherf**king Communists in the government and the braindead f**ktard voters that elected them.
OK, time to go back to my plywood shack. /sarc
