Tell me why I, a 26 year old unemployed CS grad, should give a fuck about the stock market crashing?

should give a fuck about the stock market crashing?
Only rich boomers affected
Wait so why won't the price of consumer goods that everone buys go up?
unemployed CS grad
you thought the job market was bad before, imagine how bad it will be after every company reduces headcount by 5% and doubles the number of jobseekers in your field
They're hiring pajeets anyway. It's already over.
Your boomer parents won't be able to feed you.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat and planning to pivot to contracting and construction. With the tarrif, hopefully bussiness will be booming to build factories.
at some point you have to accept that it's not our problem to solve and if responsibility isn't taken then the government should cease to exist and we will have every right to dissolve it
Because when the economy collapsed and the purges come they'll be coming for your useless parasitic ass first
think of the heckin poor billionaires and boomer retirement funds
Amazing that boomers and other oldfags are willing to sacrifice their children at the altar of infinite pajeets
Because trump is destroying the job market and is continuing to mass fire millions from well paid jobs so they can work in min wage factories
Because it's not going to. It's just fearmongering by the lefties on this shithole board.
200k+ Jobs were added last month. Try again shill.
Well I hope you find a decent job, I'm 29 and job hunting myself, doing food deliveries. Never going to put a cent into stocks or bonds, speculation and usury are both against my religion as a Muslim.
things will get more expensive, normies will go crazy, however you were paying your bills will be less viable
Must've been tough losing your email job and having to take this anime forum shilling gig
however you were paying your bills will be less viable
proofs?
im 27 years old i dont give a fuck im on neetbux though and will start hiking next week for all summer on your dime, hope your stonks or whatever workout, you all are big and bad though so im sure you'[ll figure something out big strong man
200k+ Jobs were added last month. Try again shill.
The job market is not disengaged from wall street, as soon as a crisis looms, companies will enter in survival mode, thus cutting any spending that is considered non-essential, which will most likely include new hires.
Sorry but that's the world you live in
You ain't abolishing shit. There are people with power who hold the reins and they'll abolish the whole lot of us before we do jack shit to them unless all of us "peasants" get on the same page.
It's us versus them but they've got us at each other's throats over bullshit. And meanwhile they've got everyone carrying their water in one form or another.
cs in a tech stock crash
You will literally never find a job lmao. All your jobs are in India right now
You shouldn't.
5 minutes would show you that it was transportation and warehouse jobs. Both low wage jobs. Both was due to the large loss of jobs that trump created and forcing people to work desperate jobs.
OP is unemployed. Warehouse and transportation jobs are better than 0 job, now you're thinking everyone can be a WFH powerpoint maker making 300k a year, that's fantasy land I'm sorry. What do you do?
Orange Blumpf is shipping in millions of H1B jeets to take all the tech jobs so him, his buddy Elon, and Israel can rake in the shekels.
A cs grad working on a fucking warehouse is tragic dude
abolish the whole lot of us
so then just start shooting them now what are you waiting for?
a CS grad unemployed is tragic dude! These shill arguments are very weak. I love how foreign shitposters on Anon Babble are now above certain jobs all the sudden.
I use my CS BS to draw AutismBux. No fucking way I would do menial bullshit for pennies while those bullshit job holders mentions get six figures to literally do nothing all day just because they won the lottery and get to be bums like pic.
to be fair most of them are unemployed so the faggot working in a warehouse is doing way better than most CS grads these days. Spending your life dedicated to a trade a retarded poo with chatgpt can do was a bad call. CS should have been a high school class not a degree program.
Because when your mom dies in her sleep tonight (because you read this) then you can only buy 15% less tendies with your inheritance
I dont think anyone anticipated chatgpt 4 years ago
you need to work like a slave for your billionaire boss and make shit wages, if not you are lazy
Republicans really mindfucked a whole lot of these low IQ retards huh
Do you actually want a job or do you want to stay home and snuggle with an anime body pillow?
You should care. In fact you should be ecstatic about it.
buy the dip
You're fucking dumb as shit
Shills got outplayed like the French in blitzkrieg. They're running an outdated script that can't work.
broke
buy no goods
price of things you don't buy gets higher
what's the problem?
Don't you understand? The Jews and Chinese are losing their shekels which gives them power! You monster how can you not care!
pivot to contracting and construction
money being made hand over fist in this. its work though, no pussy desk jobs playing with pixels
No reason.
Oh, in that case we'll have even more reason to deport millions of foreigners stealing American jobs
tfw 26-year old with no degree in CS working in IT with wfh days
You should only give a fuck if you have extra income to invest and capitalize on this opportunity
That's true, I honestly never though white collar workers would be replaced with 3rd worlders kek. Dark times.
capitalize on this opportunity
Quit trying to get retards to knife catch you bag holding dipshit
The stock market allows people to retire. Without the line going up, they work until they are 80 years old and you don't get to replace them at the job site.
do you believe the market will never ever go up again? if so that'd be the first time in all of history retard
Boomers can move into SRO housing and live off of social security.
You try getting a bullshit job and report back how it goes, no mere mortal gets to sit on their ass wfh anwering emails and shit for six figures, it's all luck, nepotism, dei, etc.
CS grad
that sucks. should have gone for an art or history degree. same job prospects.
separating amerindian from hispanic when they are the same shit 90% of the time
why do amerigolems do this?
knifecatch
I'm not bagholding shit, retard. But I digress; It'll be funny when the market inevitably bounces back and you're still seething, "dipshit." Hard to believe you actually care for the financial wellbeing of anons on here as well, and it's never a problem if you actually know basic investing strategies like DCA.
i have degrees in CS and philosophy and philosophy is much more valuable at this point, so much for "muh stem" retards shitting on the humanities all the time. Stop learning to code and learn the Trivium instead.
unironically choosing to pursue a CS degree in 202X
Lmao. Goddamn hahahahahaha Jesus dude what the fuck are you retarded or something? It's not the 1990s anymore.
You probably honestly believed you'd land some cushy WFH deal where you make 150k right out of uni with no experience and can do a 35 hour work week oh my God hahahahahaha
because this affects the entire economy it will inevitably affect however you were paying your bills
How are you using it to draw autism bucks?
money being made hand over fist in this
tell me more. also in the same position as op, fuck cs i was thinking about trucking instead
you should buy the dip
You can't scare him by threatening him with unemployment. He's already unemployed
I'm a NEET, tranime watcher and gamer because I play 4D chess
whyyyyyy!!! How dare Nintendo raise prices during a tariff war!!
26 year old unemployed CS grad
You shouldn't. Just put the fries in the bag friend. Pic related is where we're headed if we're lucky.
I tried to warn everyone I could to avoid this dumpster fire of a career path. My only regret is I didn't short the tech companies that flooded the CS labor market via outsourcing and learn2code TikTok propaganda.
Everyone who is bad at games is a faggot. People who don't like games are bad at them.
While my disability appeal came up before a judge, the feds expert witness - who's supposed to find some job you are theoretically able to do - could find nothing. That as an honors CS BS holder. What's the point of a CS BS if it doesn't mean there are jobs for autists? I won my case.
Lmao put the fries in the bag. You're a stupid faggot and ill be teaching things to your children. How about that for a deal? Do I have a good attitude for getting hired? Nobody you have ever known is as cracked as me you fucking rat.
Screenshot of my post from 5 years ago.
5 years later in this dumbster fire of a field, and I'm reporting to eight different non-technical managers with the personality of backstabbing snakes. I make 50% less than the average high school math teacher.
Why do people just make shit up about construction? I’m an IT admin for a general contractor (i.e. a desk job). Low level construction worker is one of the worst jobs you can get.
Also you are retarded if you think a global stock crash + tariffs aren’t going to nuke the construction industry as well. Companies are not going to shell out for new buildings, parking lots, renovations, etc. when their profits are down and nobody has any fucking money.
But yeah, go ahead and do back breaking manual labor for $15-$20 an hour.
Tradies are all on oxycodone and meth to cope with their broken backs.
It is, but it’s unfortunately the realistic option considering we overproduced degree holders by a gigantic margin. There were only ever so many jobs for those people and simply having more people get degrees was never going to create them out of thin air.
I can explain the psychology.
All that paper wealth made people feel rich, when people feel rich they spend, when they spend it moves the economy. So now these people feel less rich, they tighten their wallets and then economy slows down.
But your a CS grad so I would think you could put 2 and 2 together. Damn what do they teach you kids in schools these days?
On a personal level, the stock market has become a way for people to accrue savings so that they can retire and fund end of life care. There is no other practical way besides maybe paying off your house and making money off the appreciation, which has gotten infinitely more difficult because the prices and rates are so high. So without the stock market, you currently have no safety net.
But in the big picture, dynamic is so obviously on its face fucked up and retarded, especially in a world where your dollar is continuously devalued and you pay taxes that go right into a wealth transfer for boomers via social security and you effectively have to leverage yourself up to your eyeballs in debt to go to college to get any job, that you would have to be crazy to truly care about it. You’re being asked to love the pile of straw you’ve been given as a bed in your prison cell because it’s the only relatively comfy thing you’ve got in there.
Because your biggest expenses are food, housing and transportation; and America makes plenty of cars.
I am in the same boat too. Hoping for real jobs to come back as we build up our industrial base.
When you see the entire MSM freaking out over the tariffs, remember that 94% of stocks are owned by 8% of the population.
Those talking heads on TV are either in the 8% or are OWNED by the 8%.
Hoping
You better start praying.
Industry like we used to know it is never coming back, unfortunately. If you want to seize opportunities it’s in infrastructure for critical high tech stuff, factories for semiconductors, data centers, stuff like this.
Those high tech infrastructure products will need to be built here though, no?
It is, but it’s unfortunately the realistic option considering we overproduced degree holders by a gigantic margin.
The system was running on hopium. Hopium that the stocks would keep going up and hopium that college degrees would pay themselves off. The big corporations shipped productive industry to China and in exchange gave people enough hopium for 20 years or so that they could get by with a college degree would be enough to earn a living. In the meantime they gave oxycodone opium to the unemployed blue collar workers from the rustbelt.
The entire economy was a grift and a sham.
He's not wrong. They killed everyone else's dream, it's their dream now. I'm practically a hobo, so I encourage Neo-Feudalism. Cyberserfs and Netrunners are already here. Instead of picking crops, they're picking data. Instead of Lords and Ladies, they're influencers. Guilds coming and going as each moderator subverts the other. ISP will turn into scribes, and life will still suck.
Acceleration of Neo-Feudalism!
Only 2 entities I see who will have the capital to onshore and "Rebuild" is Government and Big Corporations that already have a monopoly. If they do decide to onshore I doubt these companies who already treat employees like shit will find god and implement a Henry Ford type business ethic.
the only people who care about the stock market right now are boomers and finance investors. Fuck the finance investors. Boomers are the ones drawing-down their investment accounts because they are retired. If you're 42 years old and your 401k is down it literally does not matter one bit. The real fear is that these worthless white collar office faggots are all going to get laid off. The layoffs started months ago and ALL OF THEM are afraid. That's why they're panicking. It's good, they are your enemies and defunding them is the best thing to do.
Both.
Our company hasn't hired a junior grad in over 2 years. AI replaced all the junior roles. You should switch fields while you are still young.
Deagel’s is what would have happened if Kamala won and bankrupted the country. Trump’s salvaging the U.S.
Feudalism requires a return of traditional religion. Let's get the real feudalism with comfy austere monasteries, abbeys, and cathedrals.
Neo-Feudalism is fake and gay and will collapse in a short period of time. Don't settle for the cheap knock off. It's better to accelerate until we're back to this:
Does anybody know if the tariffs apply to offshore remote labor (IT, back office, etc) as well?
Food was like 40%+ Mexico plus fertilizer from Canada. Houses some materials but maybe this won't matter much? Cars also Canada/Mexico for tons of parts.
trump is firing useless overpaid parasites so they can work real jobs
Oh no?
Op is White, if only he was born Indian, he would’ve had a job lickety-split
Imagine unironically defending something as fucking volatile as stocks as a legitimate way to build your retirement fund.
p sure tariffs only affect physical goods
Long as you aren't for the gay bullshit faggots like pic call feudalism that ends with all of us confined to pods while tech tards rule the world.
Feudalism also meant Droit du Signore though.
Are we going to see some suicides?
Yeah we are gonna need tariffs on offshore IT work.
jeet tax
It's sort of necessary. Holding dollars is a guaranteed loss or return on investment. So you are forced onto the risk curve to either stay with the real rate of inflation or perhaps even profit. Also if you look at the economy, it used to be like a hot air balloon where the balloon was mainstreet/manufacturing, basket was the financial sector. That dynamic has completely flipped, mainstreet relies on asset prices continually appreciating. So a hit to the markets is amplified on mainstreet. This flip is a result of financialization which the Federal Reserve had a large involvement in creating.
Yes. That’s what I’m saying.
Agreed.
They care because they’re the only ones invested. But if you want to know why you would care at a personal level, that’s why. It’s because the plan was to have you be like them, do one day have a mature 401K and for that to be your retirement. In fact, it was to be your only retirement since you won’t get social security and can’t into cheap real estate.
No schizo retard shit pls anon. I am not in the mood.
because you should care about normies when they despise you and want to profit from your replacement and they think they're clever doing it
if a programmer is replaced by chatgpt he's a really shitty programmer
Yarvin is based.
KEK this.
implying they wont just import a million jeets to fill the void
Yeah, that's what I meant by the cheap knockoff techno-feudalism.
I want civilization with monasteries, a return of the commons, a clergy interested in the truth, and a pious nobility. Of course technology will need to collapse to get us to that point.
Yarvin's Neo-Feudalism is neither New nor Feudalism. It's just more of the same goyslop wageslavery we have now.
That's ok I'll just buy the cheaper American food then.
the market will be back with national production so literally fuck anyone who invested in their international enemy china
This is a pod. This very conversation between us is raw data. They're going to get to a point where they'll treat our physicalities as a vessel for AI designed to replace us when they need to "fix" us. Then put us back like nothing was wrong. It was always feudalism, you just never got close to the table. If you don't think so, where's the arrests of Epstein's passengers?
You're stupid.
The stock market boomed while the entire country was falling apart.
The stock market crashes when the entire country is healing from globalist bullshit.
and note it was the futures market that led the way.
Fed prints money hands it to hedge funds
Hedge funs run to CBOT and buy/sell 6 month futures contracts they create. Stock market sees that in 6 months stock will be at $xyz price. Everyone rushes to buy xyz stock in anticipation of contracts coming due.
This is not even a semblance of price discovery or free market capitalism. This is some elaborate jewry rigged bullshit system.
You know I almost cashed out my 401K just a few weeks ago, but didn’t because I didn’t want to pay the early withdrawal penalty and tax. Turns out I was going to give that amount up anyway. Shoulda just done it.
So that you can buy at the bottom.
I'd keep posting but I have 10hrs of wagecuckery coding due tomorrow morning. Back to the pod for me.
If it's between pic related job and a one way time machine to the 12th century, I choose the latter.
Lmao choosing CS enjoy your debt while watching people lose money OP maybe after the mass suicide a position will open for your useless degree
time to buy
That was wartime propaganda. European nobility was never polygamous. They usually weren't faithful to their spouses (neither the men nor the women pic related) but the Droit du Signore was a meme.
There is nothing schizophrenic about investing your money in real, tangible things that hold actual value to the world like precious metals and old pokemon cards.
You will never be a real programmer. You have no commits, you have no pull requests, you have no public repos. You are a low IQ brown man twisted by an unearned comp sci degree and coding bootcamps into a crude mockery of nature's autism.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and from bots. Behind your back people say you're a useless DEI hire. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “tech bros” laugh at you behind closed doors.
Real programmers are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of forum posts have allowed programmers to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even devs who “pass” have no creative output and excessively verbose with AI generated tech buzzwords. Your GitHub profile is a dead giveaway, and even if you manage to score a 3 month internship at some tech company, they'll lay you off the second they find out that you haven't completed any non school related projects.
You will never be happy. You cope by saying that your bullshit software is using a "proprietary test framework" so you can't open source it, but deep down you know it's because you don't want people to see your incompetence where all you did was push README updates over and over, and that the core codebase was stolen off an open source GPL licensed project which you're shamelessly profiting off.
Eventually it will be too much to bear. You'll buy a spoofed business phone number and start cold calling old people into redeeming your gift card scam.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
Holding dollars is a guaranteed loss or return on investment.
Then hold literally ANYTHING ELSE other than shit that's subject to change based on fake demand.
Then hold literally ANYTHING ELSE other than shit that's subject to change based on fake demand.
Welcome to life, nothing has constant value over time. Dollars, Gold, Energy, commodities.
You do anon. You're the stock that will never drop.
You shouldn't, you already ruined your life all by yourself so just stay at your place while entropy takes care of removing you from the genepool.
Your shift at the farm land starts at 5am Timmy, get ready.
kek thats funny, nobody in tech wants an autist when like 10% of americans are diagnosed with it. I have autism/adhd and I don't disclose it on jobs anymore
Oh, tahnk you for explaining me why we have to make so much coke and what not.
Thats life nowadays, degrees are worthless unless they are a legally mandated requirement.
You dont NEED a cs degree to be Bill Gates, but you DO need a degree to be a doctor. Working in tech is a shithole, we live in an age where all businesses coalesce in the most expensive parts of the world, and live in shoe boxes and have significantly more applicants than they need so they can pennies. Also WFH is being taken out back at alot of places.
people don't like to change their standard of living.
$15-$20/hr
$20/hr is approx $2,000/month at 40hr/wk. Thing is, most construction jobs require 60-80 hours. I remember getting like 3k-4k/month take home doing concrete. It's shit ass work, but the actual income is great, plus you have no free time to spend it. Save for ten years without being retarded and you'll retire
Normally I'd say you shouldn't but tech is largely vaporware propped up by finance. Your industry is basically their golem. So if the finance jews can't afford enough baby blood and foreskins to complete their golem-making rituals you're never going to find gainful employment.
I have undiagnosed autism because in the 90s my mom told my doctor not to give me it due to the stigma. Still got disability in 2018 because I'm dyspraxic.
Tell me why I... should give a fuck about the stock market crashing?
You shouldn't. You should have given a shit about your govt mis-managing the US economy though. Incentivizing manufacturers to move OS. Essentially becoming a non-manufacturing financial manipulation economy. Only now do they see their folly, when the nations they thought they could control are producing more military equipment at a higher rate you can't keep up with. But they still get other nations to follow their idiotic global strategies. Europe to fight Russia, SEA to fight China? Israel to fight the ME. Yes we should all be telling the US to isolate. But not in terms of international trade, in terms of politics. Focus on your own shit, improve your own infrastructure. Stop trying to rule the globe. (we don't want you to)
What the fuck else you got to spend your time on?
Weed and booze is expensive.
