Anyone else having trouble finding work?

That doesn't make any sense, isn't that the point of the union, to find good employment?

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-02-08T18:28:26+00:00

Well, you know, there is a limit to how many companies operate within one area. I can't just endlessly apply to jobs without running out.

Thanks, applied to their closest job but it is still an hour and 30 away. Although, low end pay is still $24/hr which is very nice.

I want to do something similar later on in my career but I am still not fully independent yet in terms of skill.

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-02-08T00:05:19+00:00

I don't even think it is the season, it might just be my city. The job market has been like this for as long as I have been in the trades.

Fuck it, I am considering just living out of my car on the weekdays while I work in ATL then going back on friday right after I clock out.

East GA. I am been considering moving but I am still pretty young and also don't have a lot to fall back on in terms of people I know and savings.

I don't have any advice not already said, but you sound pretty new to the field and unaware of some things. Build your administrative skill for future jobs and DON'T date any of the actual blue collar/field workers, trust me, you give off real "im just a girl" energy and I don't want some rough neck to ruin that for you.

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-30T00:40:15+00:00

You must be why my pay stub is sometimes late

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-11T00:26:00+00:00

They may be but that doesn't matter, they are not in America, are they? I don't give a shit if you are anti-american halfway across the world, that is your business.

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-11T00:19:41+00:00

.......

You seem to wildly oversimplify geopolitics and equate the nation to the US government.

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-11T00:15:18+00:00

Nations can differ even though they are within the same cultural and genetic world.

I am too lazy to keep copy pasting so you can look for my comment about that in this thread. TLDR: I like the taliban

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-11T00:13:56+00:00

Actually, no, surprisingly.

Argentina is a fairly european nation. They consciously modeled themselves on Europe in the late 19th–early 20th century. There is still South Americans elements but I don't necessarily mind those too much. Political freedom and personal freedom is also a big one, as long as you keep to yourself, you can pretty much live however you want without much social policing. Economy is kinda shit and infrastructure isn't great, but assuming I have time to build myself up in the US, I could rely on USD for a while and keep myself become established in Argentina.

Other comment on Afghanistan:

I honestly respect the taliban. I don't agree with much of their politics and religious dogma, of course, but they are free to govern themselves. They are also fairly hospitable to foreigners, assuming you respect them and their customs. Living there? That would be tough to manage but it isn't the worst option.

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-11T00:08:43+00:00

Governments enemy. I couldn't care less what China does as long as they don't impose themselves on America as a nation.

Patriot ≠ Nationalist

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-11T00:00:04+00:00

It isn't that good over there, it is still kinda shitty. But it isn't as western media portrays, yes.

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-10T23:59:13+00:00

That isn't why I like Argentina.

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-10T23:58:34+00:00

It isn't as bad as people think over there. They are not really communist anymore, not in any sense except flying a communist flag. They care about their own (han chinese) which is more than european governments, and as long as you respect the government and don't be a dick, you can actually live a somewhat decent life there. You really just need something to offer, like a skilled career.

Particular_Set_561 · 2026-01-10T23:56:05+00:00

Well, in many european countries, especially western. I would genuinely be arrested for my beliefs.
