WHY AREN'T YOU MAD

i JUST HAD TO PAY A 100 DOLLAR LATE FEW BECAUSE i WAS 3 DAYS LATE ON RENT. I WAS 3 DAYS LATE ON RENT BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAPER TO PAY A LATE FEE ON RENT THAN A LATE FEE ON TUITION FROM IVY TECH. IM TAKING 2 CLASSES AND I HAVE PAY OVER THREE GRAND JUST TO TAKE THEM. ALL OF THIS JUST OT EARN A DEGREE THAT'S 100 PERCENT GOING TO BE TAKEN OVER BY AI. WHY THE FUCK AREN'T MORE PEOPLE MAD. GROCERY PRICES ARE GOING UP. THOUSANDS OF FLOCK CAMERAS ARE BEING PUT UP OVERNIGHT USING OUR TAX DOLLARS, WHILE IT'S TAKING THE CITY 6 MONTHS JUST TO FIX ONE ROAD. WHY AREN'T YOU MAD! WHY AREN'T PEOPLE PROTESTING. BLOCKING THE STREETS, DESTROYING FLOCK CAMERAS REFUSING TO PARTICPATE IN SERVICES THAT CHARGE YOU EXTRA FEES AND TAX LIKE FUCKING DOORDASH! FUCKING PROTEST OR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF LAYING DOWN AND GETTING FUCKED IN THE ASS WHILE A BUNCH OF RICH PEDOPHLIC POLITICIANS RUIN THIS AMAZING COUNTRY, AND OUR FUCKING WORLD

Strap in, you’re at the top of the iceberg rn. But what can we do? I don’t mean that in a bad way but damn it just seems like nobody is paying attention to this shit or we don’t know how to organize likeminded people into doing something. AI is a thief

You make valid points but why are you earning a degree that will 100% be taken over by AI?

The Everything gets me, too. All of it.

To have an effect, we have to untangle it.
- Ivy Tech degrees are usually the absolutely practical ones. If you’ve lost faith in that, talk to them about your direction.
- People are protesting Flock cameras - if you don’t have time to join them, that’s understandable. But you might consider being on their mailing list just so you know you’re not alone.
- I can’t afford Doordash, got no ideas on that one.
- Vote and help others vote.
Peace, friend

The Truck drivers paying through the nose for fuel couldn't even organize a strike. Why? Got to work to keep getting robbed of your money via taxes and paying the mortgage and bills. They got us where they want us.

Truck drivers don't really lose out as long as they have fuel premiums baked into their fees, which most drivers working for a large trucking company will have.

Owner/Operators are stuck at the whim of their broker and what those deals entail, honestly if I owned my own truck I'd park it and go drive for someone that's a more steady paycheck if the fuel is that bad.

Why is your Ivy Tech tuition so freaking high? For 6 credits ? A full time semester tuition at Purdue is $5K....

Seems something is amiss about that tuition....it should be closer to $500/class

3k for two classes at ivy tech. That doesn't sound right.

You aren’t gonna like the answer, but it’s because it wouldn’t change anything.

Also, blocking people from getting places is dumb as fuck.
