Thinking about paying rent makes me suicidal

[CatLove56]

As well as looking for places to live. I completely understand now why people buy their own house or trailer. YOU are the boss! These places absolutely nickel and dime you for everything and god forbid you have a pet so you're not lonely. $300 desposit, $25 extra for rent if you're lucky. Oh but you can have 5 little fuck trophies inside no problem.

Fuck society. I don't know how normal people do it without offing themselves I don't know what I'll do when my parents get rid of me someday.

The entire fucking process of "making it" makes me want to CTB: training for years to get a job, competing to get it, sucking up and getting pushed around for decades to keep it and maybe advance an inch or two up the food chain, being forced into retirement because your body is too broken and your mind too slow to keep up, and finally managing your dwindling funds like a monk all for the nursing home to take it away while your children squabble over the remains like vultures.

Even the normie life plan looks really fucking bleak.

Something's got to give at some point it cost way too much just to live especially if you're single. Forget feeling lonely it's like you HAVE to find roommates and/or boyfriend girlfriend just to make the rent. That's not how it should be. I used to work in a nursing home too and I've seen those people I would not call that living at all. I would hate to live like that with no dignity.

I'm reconsidering going into healthcare partly for that reason. So much time, effort, and money is spent sustaining the lives of people who would not only be better off dead but would actually welcome it if they didn't fear punishment in this life or the next.

Rent prices are disgusting. I was in a two bedroom that was shitty and the rent was $1375. Wages for most jobs haven't increased but rent has.

We're in a new Gilded Age. Just check out this cartoon from 1894:

Landlords also have to eat. Preferably lobster & caviar.

Fuck society and rent prices and all other things in general

Ah the joys of capitalism. It is all right when you are winning, screwing everybody else over but leave the crumbs for the rest. the fact that we have lost our communities to divisive politics, divisive class systems and divisive everything else we leave little more room for improvement. We are being crushed under the boot of the governments and the corporations who run them.

House rent is the whip of capitalism. If you don't terrorize society, you cannot control it. It is the most important tool of the economic dependence of the society. Think about it, even a poor country like Cuba can give every citizen a home, while rich countries don't, why not? If people feel economically free, you will have a hard time hiring them cheaply. The bloody evening news and the homeless terrorize the community and encourage slavery for a safe haven. Every country has the potential to provide a home for every citizen born, but they never will.

Esp in California the rent is ridiculous

I am homeless. I go by my old house every now and then. It's new owners, who own two other houses in the street, are taking their time renovating it. A 4 bedroom house empty for two years. Thousands of homeless in my area. Hundreds of houses and apartments with lights out and doors locked. I have been evicted or moved out more times I can remember. I have no faith I will ever have long term housing. Landlords are like cops. They're all bastards.
