How did the US end up being such a corporate wasteland?

Students having to go into 50-200k of debt at loanshark compounding interest rates. Literal months of non-stop applications, jumping through HR-hoops, forms, tests, interview round after round. Inflated requirements so residents can be rejected to import some pajeet for pennies. Meanwhile the compounding interest balloons out of control with people being basically in massive unsustainable debt-shackles for the entire prime of their life.

The same goes for healthcare, prisons and even public utilities like your eerie robocalls or the quality of your tap water and food being dumped full of the cheapest filler chemical. You even literally have slums.

What the fuck happened?

Well, some short sighted Americans some years back imported blacks, so yes we have slums.

No one has to. Cheaper colleges exist, it's only if you're a normie who wants to live on campus.

Stop being a fucking crybaby. Back in my day we didn’t have food in our bellies, and we had to walk 15 miles uphill in the snow both ways. Stop being lazy, just walk in and give them a firm handshake. That’s how I got my first job that paid $1/hr. Now minimum wage is $15/hr. Stop being a spoiled rich brat, just quit your smartphone package. I was able to buy a house by 18 from my minimum wage summer job and I still had money left over to pay my college tuition. You millennials just keep buying shit you don’t need like video games and avocado toast . Now pay for my fucking healthcare and social security. And don’t be such a pussy about vaccines and shit. Back in my day we didn’t have such weak genetics so we didn’t develop chronic fatigue syndrome from all the vaccines, fluoride, and pesticides in the water. And stop being such a bigot, let the niggers in, and let your children cut off their genitals. Respect your elders and what we have built and stop taking things for granite.

The government grew larger and destroyed everything. We're only being kept afloat by rapidly increasing technological development. If it weren't for that, we would be at best some second world shithole.
Also, you literally don't need to go to college. It's just a scam. If you want some diploma, just get some cheap online degree. Unless you go to a really big name school, it doesn't matter where you got your degree or how much it cost. Employers value what skills you bring to the table, not a piece of paper.

Employers may think a degree is worthless if you have it, but they think that *you* are worthless if you don't. Fields like IT where certs are king and degrees are optional are the exception, not the rule.

That's what happens when a country operates too much for profit. The wellbeing of the citizens is at the services of the profits for the largest companies.

reagan and neo-liberalism happened, first
then retarded theories such as trickle-down morphed into retarded theories such as united-colors-of-what-the-fuck
blue-haired trannies and fat maga preppers think they are opposites when they are two sides of the same coin, the dissolution of knoledge among "ordinary citiizens" who increasingly act/vote on the basis of emotion and groupthink and live in a bubble of self-reinforcing peer relationships, because they have lost the attention span necessary to process areas of complecity such as geo-politics or economics

I've never had any luck getting the jobs you have to jump through hoops for. For most of the jobs I've gotten I would just get a phone call from someone saying we have a position to fill and you look like you'll fit, do you want the job? That or I'd be offered a job during the interview.
