The whole world is hurting pretty bad right now when it comes to tech jobs - America seems to be hurting the least.
I'm not saying the tech job situation in America isn't bad - but the world dances to America's fiddle, and its frustrating hearing Americans complain about how hard their situation is while their boot is firmly planted on my neck
- musicale 6mo agoI have edited it to clarify that (in the US) applied to losing health insurance.
- jleyank 6mo agoTo be specific, it’s tied to good employment. Part-time and low-salary jobs don’t often (usually?) provide it. So trading a good tech jobs for “things to keep busy” loses the insurance. Unless you can afford cobra and that only lasts 18 months. At what tends to be 5x the price.
- bayarearefugee 6mo agoI completely understand where you are coming from, but try not to hate on American laborers because of this situation, that is no more helpful than Americans blaming immigrants for their job woes. It is the wealthy capitalist class that has the boot planted on all of our necks. I do recognize that the outcome is worse for some people than others, but keeping us fighting each other is how they continue to maintain power.
