Why are the NEET rates (Not in Emplyoment, Education, or Training) seemingly going up every year in the world's major economies? How come 1 in 2 people ages 18-30 are unemployed or not seeking employment? Is this an indication that the global economy is failing or society is decaying?

What about you? Are you a NEET? Is there a NEET epidemic in your country?

this , we're in a somewhat similar situation to the 1920s though in terms of easy living

and being NEET is difficult with parents, I was able to do it but only because I got a electrician cert and I play with stocks

the thing that got me was that I hated being a student and I hated college, and after talking to enough people at job fairs I realized that I would be making shit wages for grueling work for a decade before I got into any sort of good position. As a result I decided to turn my attention to starting my own business because I like working with my hands. So far I've been able to sustain myself selling custom toys/dildos/electronics on Estsy and Ebay

Let me explain to you why a basement-dwelling NEET is the master race. We do not pay rent, we have an endless supply of Hot Pockets and Mountain Dew and our gaming rigs are always up to date complete with bookshelves full of the latest vidya and anime Blu-Rays. We do not nee to pay for all this luxury, because the society will pay for it with money earned by hard workers. We are more knowledgeable on any given subject than the lowly peasants that serve us because we have all the time in the world to gather information and skills. Remember how you used to make fun of "nerds" for spending all their time on computers? Well, now those nerds have grown up and in this world where everything is run by computers our technological aptitude rewards us with power. We are the true elite of this world, because we get everything we want without having to work a single day. You may try to say, "B-but you don't have girlfriends!" and you will be right- we do not have leeches that drain our bank accounts and tell us what to do. We are beyond such simple needs and those of us who feel the need for a girl have found more than adequate substitutes in our waifus, our sex dolls or our dragon dildos. We do as we please, and this is why you brainless worker drones hate us. And when you push us to the edge, we will retaliate with deadly force and when push comes to shove there is nothing you can do to stop our onslaught. You are powerless against us and you know it. The only way to appease your masters is to accept the circumstances and treat us with the dignity and respect that the true aristocracy of Western world requires. We are the master race. Now bow to your new lords.

To all you disgusting NEETs.

What happens when more and more people become NEETs which is happening and the governments can simply not afford to give you all your autism bux? They're going to cut you off, like or not. The government is an entity and like all entities it will do whatever it takes to sustain itself.

What happens when you all get cut off? You're either going to starve or get a fucking job. And since you'll be 100% desperate, with no skills or knowledge, corporations are going to pay in potatoes and water and easily justify it.

But that simply wouldn't happen right? They would continue to tax the upper classes more and more? No they wouldn't. There's only so far you can tax someone before their business begins to suffer.

Oh but if the government doesn't give you money, you'll riot for your rights? Ignoring that most governments are in the pocket of corporations especially a government that is collapsing because there are so many people taking its money that it gets from corperations.

No idea, which is why I've come here. Stocks seem too risky for somebody with little money or experience, and scrub entrepreneurism like trying to make it big with ads & fads doesn't seem like a good idea either. I've tried running an ebay shop before but it's not as easy as it looks, and those fees along with taxes is a bitch. I've managed to earn quite a bit with bitcoins thanks to buying in early, but I'm not really satisfied. I'm not very creative or talented either, I wouldn't be a NEET if that was the case, so I'm shit out of luck in that department as well. I was thinking of looking for something niché that requires little monetary investment, but I'm worried that those days have come and gone unless I'm simply looking in the wrong place. At the moment, all I really have in mind is running an import shop, since I'm relatively experienced in that area and have noticed just how much some places overcharge for the shit I import.

I'm a 23 y.o. NEET. Speaking for myself, I'd say my incredible laziness and good living situation play a role. I'm not above hard work, but I've only had one working situation that I enjoyed -- greasy dish pits sustained my wages for a few years, but now I can't put my fingers in a soapy sink without getting a feeling of intense dread.

My parents sustain my living situation; I kick in a little bit when I'm working but they never ask for help or pressure me to get more work. I realize I am a burden to them as a "mouth-to-feed" situation. I know they don't despise my presence but they know my life lacks direction and only want what's best for me. I try to keep my impact on their finances low; eat their food, use their electricity and hot water, and try not to ask for money. They've provided me with so much I can't feasibly ask them for things like a car or new clothes.

My situation is all the more worsened by my ideal professions being music-related. I want to go to school in the fall, but I need to justify that it would further my desired career without jeopardizing any hope at financial return.

If I had to offer my thoughts on the "epidemic", I would estimate that internet plays a huge role. Society is now used to instant gratification of social media and 24 hour news cycles. Long-term goals are harder to envision. I'm sure there are lots of other reasons too.

3. make shit and sell it on esty
4. if all else fails, go to a trade school and become a carpenter and make furniture in your backyard
5. write smut or draw furries and steal money from faggots

why not? All austismbux are is cash given to you through the Social Security Administration. They could give less a shit what you do with it, it's not like it's food stamps where it's tied into a specific expenditure.

I never got autismbux but after my dad died I got $2000 every financial quarter which I put into stocks. I'm no Warren Buffet but I've made some modest gains, enough to cover utilities (I live with my mother, she paid off the house so no rent. But we live in a shitty suburb so that means I have to blow $200 a month on insurance for a car I barely use)

NEETs, I'm sure 'living the dream' seems ideal and having no obligations and few concerns seems like the perfect position to be in.
However, do you really think it is okay to do so? Do you really think that you are special enough that the world needs to sustain your life and work for you? Food does not deliver itself to supermarkets, the internet and computers did not create nor do they sustain themselves.

Do you not feel an obligation to keep the world functioning? If everyone became a NEET and no-one wanted to work we'd collapse to barely-civilized life,hell, even growing food for yourself would be hard work, would you just die?

I can sympathize with not wanting to be a 'wage slave', I really can, but I feel like the world owes me nothing and that I should at least do something in it and do so by finding a job that I like and want to do, or just trying to enjoy what I am given, it's not impossible. I never want to work a dead-end job unless I am happy with my situation (which I can't see myself ever being in such a scenario) but nor do I want to sicken and delude myself into thinking I am special and owed a living

>> No.4527

Most manual labor is going to be automated in the next few decades, and the jobs that are still available are going to be extremely competitive so the only real sane thing to do is kick back, learn how to play technology and the stock market and merge into homesteading, at least in my opinion.

The thing is that NEET does not automatically mean "fatass who watches TV all day", more often than not people who are technically NEET provide for themselves and are self-sufficient, it's just that they don't work at a big institution like a school or a company. 100 years ago, most people outside cities were technically NEET because they were not employed by a company nor in school.

That's post scarcity. Which is a fascinating concept to think about.

It all depends, basically, on who's holding the means of production, and how distributable the means of production are, when post scarcity comes. It can either be socialized or privatized, and likewise either centralized or distributed.

For the centralized options, they could also be either socialized or privatized. For the socialized outcome, think stalin-era USSR for a basic model. Essentially some kind of command economy. Shiny happy progressive idiots will assume that this will also entail some sort of perfect democratic control system, but history has never pulled this off; centralization and socialization has always lead to shit like the USSR. The other extreme, privatization, is basically the leftist nightmare scenario: corporations control everything, and people survive on whatever bit of benevolence the corporations feel like having

On the other hand, the means of production could be decentralized. For a socialized decentralized model, you can imagine what is essentially some sort of marxist utopia, with no one having any personal desire or greed or such. I'll argue this is demonstrably impossible outside of small primitive tribal groups, and humanity cannot technologically advance in such a state.

The last extreme would be privatization and decentralization. Think basically having a 3d printer or some other mechanized production device in your house. You can print off whatever the fuck you want for simply the cost of materials, and download the data for it from the internet (probably the same way video games/music is pirated now)

I get small odd jobs, shovel snow, mow lawns, baby sit shit like that but over all I'm too poor for college, don't qualify for military service (bad vision), and have nothing really to build a resume on. I've applied several times to fast food restaurants thinking "ah I can get this it's entry level no real competition" oh but noooooooooooooo I never get hired for any of them.

Because the internet provides more easy entertainment than ever possible for a relatively cheap price.

And there isn't enough reward for the risk and work in the normalfag world. Look how shitty everything is, people who work their asses off in college for STEM degrees can't even get jobs, and I know I'm not as smart or hard working as those guys. Why bother with women when you will get absolutely nothing out of a relationship beyond sex and you have access to every kink known to man via the internet for way, way, cheaper than a gf?

If someone knocked on my door and gave me a job that actually pays a living wage I would take it. But obviously we aren't needed otherwise there wouldn't be such a big deal with unemployment so I'll just wait my turn. Eventually everything will be automated and half the population will do nothing but NEET it up on government handouts.

>"In July 1968 four pairs of mice were introduced into the Utopian universe. The universe was a 9-foot (2.7 m) square metal pen with 54-inch-high (1.4 m) sides. Each side had four groups of four vertical, wire mesh “tunnels”. The “tunnels” gave access to nesting boxes, food hoppers, and water dispensers. There was no shortage of food or water or nesting material. There were no predators. The only adversity was the limit on space. Initially the population grew rapidly, doubling every 55 days. The population reached 620 by day 315, after which the population growth dropped markedly. The last surviving birth was on day 600. This period between day 315 and day 600 saw a breakdown in social structure and in normal social behavior. Among the aberrations in behavior were the following: expulsion of young before weaning was complete, wounding of young, inability of dominant males to maintain the defense of their territory and females, aggressive behavior of females, passivity of non-dominant males with increased attacks on each other which were not defended against. After day 600, the social breakdown continued and the population declined toward extinction. During this period females ceased to reproduce. Their male counterparts withdrew completely, never engaging in courtship or fighting. They ate, drank, slept, and groomed themselves – all solitary pursuits. Sleek, healthy coats and an absence of scars characterized these males. They were dubbed “the beautiful ones”.
The conclusions drawn from this experiment were that when all available space is taken and all social roles filled, competition and the stresses experienced by the individuals will result in a total breakdown in complex social behaviors, ultimately resulting in the demise of the population."
