This. Inflation still hasn't risen significantly because wages still haven't risen significantly. The panic about a (((labor shortage))) is just business interests and possibly naive central bank economists trying to lobby for the market to become flush with labor again so they don't have to worry about even thinking about raising wages. Don't believe them, there isn't any reason to do anything until we actually have higher observed inflation. Right now it's all just fear mongering.

I get the bitterness - I do with women.

But I've had *some* good luck ... usually do without. But I've seriously had a mindshift the last six months.

Is there literally ANYTHING you could be doing to make it better? Working out? Socializing more? Reading books? Getting certified in something?

And if there is - tell your ego he doesn't have an excuse and get back to work.

Also - FWIW I live in a heavy dick to vag ratio small town in one of the 3 highest single mom ratios of the US. And one of the highest obesity rates. I can tell you for a fact to go overseas.

I dated a bombshell cheerleader type @ 24 that I stumbled into in my town. A turkish girl in a bigger city 100 miles away. And then a Russian I met in Russia + some Europeans.

Overseas is much, much better. It's not like these women are landing chads - they are going for long stints of singleness waiting for the next one. Then they are thinking they'll get married in their 30s after having man after man walk away (I'm one of them now).

wages aren't going up primarily because inflation is ongoing and taxes are growing in weight and number
the tax exempt rich that are all pushing for more socialism have people by their fucking balls, brainwashing them to make them think that free market capitalism led them to being in a nation where it's increasingly hard to start up and run a business (which would create competition for the mega corporations, which are run by the tax exempt rich who are all pushing for more socialism)
if you want the economy to work perfectly, you end all taxation, end inflation, secure the shit out of your borders (making it difficult for people to get in, but not out), and remove the minimum wage

Nigger in 7 years I can make six figures, that's not the problem. The problem is right now my wage is shitty. I don't want to lick boots for years just to be paid a decent salary. Fuck I don't even want to work fulltime for that long.
