Completely ridiculous that they quoted Kim Kardashian...
But I never liked how this movement picked up the name "lazy girl job". Bros can be lazy too...
I could have pulled in 6 figures after the Navy, but it would have been a shitty job that I fucking hated.
So I went back to school, got a degree that interests me, did that for a few years, then got a cushy decently paid office job that didn't care what my degree was about.
I'm not maximizing my income, but I also essentially get UBI because I'm a disabled vet.
I'm basically living the progressive dream. And if everyone got the stuff I did, we'd be happier and more productive as a society. Along with a shit ton less crime, because people have something to lose.
Our current hyper capitalist society only works for people like Kim Kardashian that start out wealthy and connected, and those idiots constantly insist the only reason they're wealthy is they work harder. I was doing manual labor before I was a teenager. There's no way in hell Kim has worked a single day harder then I did as a child, but she legitimately believes she busts her ass, all the wealthy elites do.
Because they're surrounded by people they pay to tell them what they want to hear, and everyone else is a "hater".
Kim Kardashian is only rich because she sucked a dudes dick and made a sex tape of it, pretty much with the hopes it would be leaked and make her famous.
It wasn't even her plan...
She was Paris Hilton's assistant (still no idea why she needed an assistant) when her sex tape legitimately leaked, and Kim saw her go from an fairly anonymous rich girl to nationally famous overnight.
And wanted to follow suit.
She had a fairly popular reality tv show at the time and was already pretty well established as an it girl and model. Im hard pressed to say she was fairly anonymous. That's what made the sex tape such a big deal was because it was of someone famous.
Don't get me wrong, I buy your story that kim saw the value of the leaked tape. Just having lived through that as a horny young man, I'm not sure I agree with the characterization that she was fairly anonymous.
To be fair, plenty of sex tapes have leaked or "leaked" with a lot of noise over the years, very few people have translated them to massive wealth (games, reality shows, modelling, branding, appearances etc). Whoever is managing them (their mum perhaps?) is very smart in at least that they know how to leverage opportunity, and they're smart enough to listen to that person.
Yeah, Kris Kardashian is known as their "momager"
Her father was also one of the highest-earning crim defense lawyers.
Who became famous for being a defense lawyer for the most watched murder trial in history.
She's famous because her parents were famous, and her family made a pointed campaign to continue making money off of reality tv and being proto-influencers.
Like it or not, a lot of people genuinely enjoy reality TV as entertainment and having characters to watch and gossip about. Kim K is in the entertainment industry.
Same ship, different service. The safety net affords me the ability to find what I really want to do without tying my life to a single job or place.
I also think that it can be brought to other citizens through other community activities. Why don't we offer similar incentives to teachers? 10yr of teaching in exchange for UBI. Or doctors. Or rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure.
I'm guessing that your VA/service income doesn't just go straight to savings either. A lot of it goes right back into the economy through purchasing and associated taxes paid on those things. At least mine does.
The US military is the largest socialist organization in the world and I wish they would extend that to the rest of its citizens without the downside of PTSD, death, and a lifetime of physical and mental ailments.
Yeah, it's essentially BAH lol.
Every year it goes up, and every year I make it my new monthly payment for my mortgage.
I say this all the time, it's 100% true.
The vast majority of our issues would disappear if everyone got that stuff. And we could pay for it all just be taxing the 1% of wealthiest people and corporations.
The only reason to not want it, is if those wealthy people give you a shit ton of money to not want it.
I've thought this for a while, but maybe our service to country isn't done with a DD214. The current situation in the US and world at large makes me think I can still do some good. Maybe politics needs more people who think like you and me.
I got told once in the military:
And it's pretty accurate, even on the civilian side.
Politics definitely needs people who think like both of you.
They quoted Kim Kardashian as a foil in this story haha
Oh thank god somebody had said it
all I want is basic media literacy lol
But but but HaRd WoRk DoEs NoT EqUaL VaLuAbLe wOrK!!!

This article isn't about men. "Meet the women who..", it says.
We must have achieved peak equality if the 47% minority are cut out of the piece because we're not relevant.
Cry more because of one article focussing on women, lmao.
