Hello Everyone, I just needed to blow off some steam so I googled rant forums and it brought me here.
So I got an idea today and tell me if you think i'm crazy or if there is some truth to this or not.
Anyway, I was on the phone with an organization that was seeking volunteers today because I wanted to volunteer to tutor foreign language speaking people as well as illiterate people on how to become more literate. So after I had a normal conversation with the lady on the other side of the phone she sent me an email with an information packet about how I can start participating in her literacy organization.
To my surprise, in the information packet, the organization requires the tutor to PAY a 25 dollar fee for materials. At first I didn't think much of this. But then later some red flags started to really go up--why would I have to pay to volunteer? Doesn't that sound backwards?
I've experienced scenarios like this a lot in my adult life while going from job to job--during school it wasn't much of a big deal to me, they say pay, you pay--that's just the rite of passage.
Anyway, I'm starting to think that, and don't call me late to the game for thinking this, all businesses are scams in one way or another. They want to make you work everyday of your life, sometimes for nothing more than minimum wage.
All governments are corrupt and held in place only by force of arms, so there's no legitimacy there either. They try to make you think its we the people, for the people by the people but its really just by a select few plutocrats that appease the majority plebeians by conceding some of their power to a class of patricians that the plebeians think they put in power while they are really put in power by the plutocrats force of power, i.e. human capital, i.e. the grand sum of the hours worked by every poor or semi poor individual in the US, i.e. gdp or money money money! for the not so bright among us.
We are like cattle being herded to the slaughter and we don't even know it until our destruction is imminent.
It feels like life is just one sick sadistic game that someone is playing on mankind. Even the plutocrats can't evade death and disease, sure you've got the witch doctors and so called holistic healers with their herbal remedies and such but that's just part of the healthcare scam they want you to buy into so they, that is--the plutocrats--can make an unending stream of money. So this is how you stick it to the man, you tell him he can buy all the expensive yachts and leer jets that he wants but in the end he's just going to bite the dust like the rest of us. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! (don't even get me started on religion) so I'm going to end it there thanks everyone for your time and attention.
