zosobird just flew into chicago: here's his two cents on the unemployment situation

Just flew into Chicago this afternoon and am staying right down the street from the protesters infront of the Fed Reserve bank, and walked right through them. I must say it was a joke (besides the fact that it is SUNDAY and the banks, etc. are all closed). Lot's of people you can tell are creating close to zero actual VALUE on a day to day basis. The "drum circle" was cool though.

Here's my Two Cents on the Unemployment situation.

First of all, I am sincerely sorry for your unfortunate circumstance....but me or anyone else being sorry for your situation does not increase your VALUE to society.

Think about it. Think about it LOGICALLY and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT (take actual action)

Boiling all the Bullshit away, you are left with the equation of NEEDS + VALUES = GAIN
- Find/Realize a NEED
- Provide a product or service of VALUE to fulfill that NEED
- CHARGE MONEY for providing products sold/services rendered

If you are a cook at a restaurant, you realize there is a need for someone to cook the food at said restaurant, and you just so happen to be able to provide that restaurant with value...as you are a cook, and you charge money for your sevices (negotiated with employer prior to employment,etc.)....

However, if your services are no longer required (if there is no NEED for a cook, you can't offer any thing of VALUE)....BE PROACTIVE (this is YOUR personal situation)...

I can't believe this. My understanding of the protest is to bring financial equality to the masses. Fact of Life is that everyone provides a DIFFERENT LEVEL OF VALUE. We are NOT all created equal. We are not all dealt the same cards. Is this Fair? NO. Is Life Fair? NO.

I know I probably sound like an insensitive prick, but the fact of the matter and the situation does not change.

SUCK IT UP. GET OVER IT. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

This whining has got to stop.
